America's Largest Retailer of RV and Outdoor Supplies and Accessories
Celebrates With Community
May 15, 2007 (Bowling Green, KY) - Camping World, America's largest retailer of RV and outdoor supplies and accessories, today announced the opening of their newest location, Camping World of Indianapolis.
The highly visible facility is located off I-65 just 5 miles South of Indianapolis. With over 8,000 sku's available from basic camping and outdoor accessories to hard to find RV parts, the full service, state-of-the-art store provides customers with all of their RV, outdoor, camping accessory and service needs. Camping World of Indianapolis will also feature the sale of recreational vehicles through its RV Sales Brand (formerly known as Stout's RV).
Stout's RV has been Indiana's largest motorhome dealer and has served the Indianapolis community for nearly 30 years. General Manager, Joel Rose has been with dealership for over 25 of those years and was recently been promoted to Complex Manager of both businesses. He commented, "We're very excited to get Camping World of Indianapolis up and running. We boast over $20 million in inventory, 300 RVs on display, a state of the art service center and now a full array of RV products and accessories. We are truly a one stop shopping destination for the RV & Outdoor lifestyle."
The brisk expansion of Camping World and its progression into the sale of recreational vehicles is well timed to respond to growing consumer demand as the outlook for the RV and RV supplies and accessories market burgeons, topping lists of US growth industries. A recent study by the University of Michigan's Survey Research Center found that an astonishing 1 in 12 U.S. vehicle-owning households now own a RV. There are now 7.9 million households in the U.S. with a RV. This figure indicates a 58 percent rise in RV ownership since 1980. This study also anticipates similar growth in the future, thus providing the catalyst for opening additional Camping World stores across the country.
