ELKHART, Ind. — RVBusiness announced today (Sept. 23) the selections for the annual RVBusiness Top 50 Dealer Awards, all of whom are to be honored at a Nov. 11 ceremony during the 2026 RV Dealers Convention/Expo at Paris Las Vegas. The program is designed to showcase the professionalism of U.S. and Canadian RV retailers who excel in professionalism, association activities, civic involvement, best practices and consumer care.
Again this year, the Top 50 roster includes five exemplary “Blue Ribbon” dealerships plus three special distinctions — the Gaylord Maxwell Innovation Award sponsored by Airxcel, recognizing creative business strategies, the Arthur J. Decio Humanitarian Award, sponsored by Wells Fargo, bestowed upon a U.S. or Canadian dealer who has excelled at charitable endeavors, and the Sherman Goldenberg Award for Excellence in Consumer Care, sponsored by Brown & Brown Dealer Services.
The high profile Top 50 program, now in its 15th season, is facilitated by G&G Media Group LLC, the Elkhart, Ind.-based publisher of RVBusiness and Woodall’s Campground Magazine, and managed by Top 50 Administrator BJ Thompson and Coordinator Barb Riley. This year’s Top 50 sponsors include Airxcel Inc., Brown & Brown Inc., Century Chemical Corp., Genesis Products Inc., Northpoint Commercial Finance, NTP-STAG, Protective Asset Protection and Wells Fargo Inventory Finance.
The program began this spring with North American RV manufacturers nominating dealers they deem worthy of consideration. Those nominees were then invited to submit a comprehensive application form, which is then vetted by a volunteer judges panel of industry veterans during a relatively intense two-day session at Elkhart’s Matterhorn Conference Center. Deliberations, it’s been said, were intense, prolonged and healthy — and a reflection of the caliber of dealers who submitted applications (see: “Judges for RVB Top 50 Dealer Awards Offer Insight into Trends”).
“As an industry, we should always strive to be better than we were the day before, and the Top 50 program celebrates those dealers who do that the best,” said G&G Media Publisher & Executive Editor Rick Kessler. “Congratulations to those selected by the judges, and congratulations as well to the more than 200 dealers who were nominated.”
“”This is an exhaustive program that takes the better part of a year, and we could not do this without the help and support of Barb and BJ, our sponsors and industry colleagues. To them and everyone who makes this program possible, we want to express our sincere appreciation,” added Scott Stropkai, COO of G&G Media.
