Now that I think about it...as the RV selling industry is outpacing itself from service centers, the void for independent shops is obvious. What a business opportunity for someone who has a passion for RVs and can help a community growing exponentially. The rewards for these new businesses can be enormous, especially if quality of work and turn-around time supersedes the stealerships.

The place I store my RV here in Lafayette IN is swamped all summer long fixing RVs and selling parts. Great people to deal with and reasonably priced as I have them service mine and do a few things from time to time.
