Two Denver-area recreational vehicle dealers have expanded into the Colorado Springs area in the past three years amid strong sales of RVs locally and statewide.
Windish RV Center, with locations in Lakewood and Longmont, expanded in 2017 to Fountain. Cousins RV, meanwhile, opened a showroom and lot in the area and also has locations in Wheat Ridge and Loveland. The two openings boosted the number of area RV dealers to seven.
“It’s not just the growth of the RV industry, but also the growth of the entire Colorado Springs area. One in every 10 Colorado residents owns an RV, so as the area and state grow, so does the RV industry,” said Tim Biles, general manager of Pikes Peak Traveland, which has been selling RVs in Colorado Springs for nearly 50 years.
The industry will show off its newest and most popular RVs today (Feb. 6) through Saturday at the Colorado Springs RV & Outdoor Show being held in the Colorado Springs Event Center. The seven local dealers will display more than 100 RVs, ranging from lightweight towable trailers to motorized coaches the size of a tiny home, during the three-day show that attracted more than 4,000 people last year.
Jim Humble, owner of Cousins RV, said El Paso County is one of the state’s best markets for RV sales, ranking third among Colorado’s 64 counties behind Jefferson and Boulder counties. He previously was general manager of Windish RV’s Fountain location, which he said opened in part to serve local customers who drove to Denver to shop at larger RV dealers there.
