The 2022 RV Business Top 50 Dealer Awards winners are being publicly released here today (Sept. 27) by Elkhart, Ind.-based RVBusiness magazine and BJ Thompson Associates (BJTA), which oversees the popular, 11-year-old bar-raising Top 50 program.
“I must say, the 12 judges involved in reviewing the applications again this year engaged in lively discussions through two days of heated debate,” said BJTA Dealer Coordinator Barb Riley. “I don’t know that I’ve ever seen that much interaction throughout the whole process. It was a horse race to the very last.”
When all was said and done, however, the judges’ two-day review in early September of applications filled out by dealers nominated by U.S. and Canadian RV manufacturers for consideration as Top 50 dealers yielded the following impressive roster (in alphabetical order) of esteemed RV retailers who are to be publicly recognized at an awards reception on Wed., Nov. 9, during the 2022 RV Dealers International Convention/Expo at Caesar’s Palace in Las Vegas.
