ELKHART, Ind. – Organizers are hard at work making sure the 2023 RVBusiness Top 50 Dealer Awards ceremony will again be a worthy event to recognize this year’s crop of top-performing retailers.
Hosted by RVBusiness magazine and BJ Thompson Associates (BJTA), which oversees the popular, 12-year-old program, the awards reception will be 5:30 p.m., Wednesday, Nov. 8, at Paris Las Vegas during the 2023 RV Dealers International Convention/Expo.
Now in its 13th year, the RVB Top 50 program is designed to recognize the very best RV dealerships in North America. The 2023 program began earlier this year when RV manufacturers nominated their dealer partners for consideration. Those nominated dealers were then invited to complete an application for review by an anonymous, independent panel of judges.
When all was said and done, the judges’ two-day review in early September at the RV/MH Hall of Fame in Elkhart, Ind., yielded the following impressive roster (in alphabetical order) of esteemed RV retailers.
