2013

Industry: Recreational Vehicle Sales and Service

Location: Grain Valley, Missouri

Seller: Nationwide RV

Buyer: Camping World

The DVS Group’s Role: Sell-Side Advisory

The Deal:
The sellers, a pair of brothers, sought to transition ownership of the business for estate planning purposes while remaining active in the industry. The DVS Group conducted a broad outreach process that included major regional and national strategic buyers as well as select individual investors. Following multiple expressions of interest, Camping World emerged as the preferred buyer, offering all-cash terms for both the business assets and real estate at favorable valuations. The transaction also included continued employment for both sellers, aligning with Camping World’s long-term growth strategy.
