Camping World Holdings, Inc. has completed its acquisition of Lazydays in Surprise, Arizona, marking the latest step in its expansion strategy.
The purchase, including assets and real estate, is part of a broader acquisition plan expected to be finalized in the coming weeks.
Marcus Lemonis, chairman and CEO of Camping World, emphasized the acquisition’s strategic importance, noting that it aligns with the company’s efforts to strengthen its market position.
“This is the first of multiple locations anticipated to close in the coming weeks. These locations bring top OEM brands, incremental market share opportunity, and a more traditional RV product mix that aligns with our strategic priorities,” Lemonis stated in a press release.
Camping World’s continued expansion reflects the broader consolidation trend within the RV dealership sector.
With the increasing number of mergers and acquisitions, independent dealerships may face heightened competition from large-scale operators with greater resources and national reach.
For business owners in the outdoor hospitality industry, these developments signal potential shifts in partnerships, supply chains, and consumer buying patterns.
As Camping World strengthens its footprint, its extensive dealership network could present new opportunities for manufacturers and suppliers looking to secure wider distribution channels.
Meanwhile, independent RV dealers may need to differentiate themselves through specialized offerings, customer service, or niche market focus to remain competitive.
The acquisition also underscores the company’s confidence in the strength of the RV market, despite recent industry fluctuations.
Camping World operates in 43 states, offering RV sales, service, and related products through its network of dealerships and its Good Sam brand.
As the company continues its acquisition strategy, industry stakeholders should observe how these moves impact competition, customer service, and supplier relationships.
Camping World has indicated that additional acquisitions will be finalized in the near future, reinforcing its position as a dominant force in the RV retail sector.
As Camping World moves forward with additional acquisitions, industry stakeholders should monitor how consolidation trends may impact pricing, inventory availability, and customer expectations within the RV and outdoor hospitality sectors.
