Campers Inn RV Partners with Mike Regan & Crestview RV – RVBusiness – Breaking RV Industry News
AUSTIN, Texas – Campers Inn RV and Mike Regan announce their partnership and successful acquisition of Crestview RV. Through this strategic partnership, Mike Regan will now serve as the president of Crestview RV at all Texas locations. This marks a significant milestone in Campers Inn’s expansion into Austin, Georgetown, Waco, and San Antonio, further strengthening its presence in Texas, according to a release from the Jacksonville, Fla.-based dealer group.
Crestview RV was founded by Scott Lougheed in Central Texas. Scott is the son of Don Lougheed, who was an early pioneer of the RV industry, opening his first dealership in 1963 and becoming one of the founders of RVDA. With this partnership, Campers Inn has facilitated the financing and support to help Mike Regan achieve his dream of RV dealership ownership, ensuring that Crestview’s legacy continues under strong, passionate leadership, the release continued.
“This partnership is about more than just growth—it’s about recognizing and empowering great leaders like Mike,” said Jeff Hirsch, CEO of Campers Inn RV. “At Campers Inn, we believe in forging partnerships that retain exceptional management talent while creating a clear succession plan for the future. The RV industry is undergoing rapid consolidation, and while publicly traded and/or private equity backed companies like Blue Compass, Camping World, and Lazy Days have access to the capital markets, Campers Inn continues to take a strategic, relationship-driven approach. By leveraging traditional financing and our extensive resources, we help outstanding operators become owners and ensure the continued success of their businesses.”
This acquisition also reflects Campers Inn’s long-term vision for growth in Texas. The company is actively seeking additional opportunities to expand its footprint and support other aspiring owners who may not have the financial means to acquire a dealership on their own, according to the release.
“I am truly proud to be associated with Jeff and Ben Hirsch,” said Mike Regan, president of Crestview RV. “Their values align closely with those of Crestview RV and myself, making this partnership a perfect fit. I’m excited to see where this collaboration will take us, and I look forward to the opportunities and success that lie ahead.”
Many longtime RV dealership owners take pride in seeing their dedicated employees take the next step in ownership, preserving their legacy while securing the future of their business.
“Our partnership model offers a pathway for talented individuals who have spent their careers in the industry but may not have the resources to acquire a dealership outright,” added Jeff Hirsch. “We want to be the solution for the next generation of RV dealership owners.”
With the addition of Crestview RV, Campers Inn continues its mission to provide industry-leading customer service while expanding its presence in key markets. We welcome Mike Regan to the Campers Inn family and look forward to an exciting future in Texas.
