Stephens Annual Investment Conference summary
9 Jul, 2026Business overview and market position
Operates nearly 200 RV dealerships and two major brands, with a 13.5% market share in North America for new and used RVs and 25% share in new RVs.
Good Sam brand offers roadside assistance, finance, insurance, and a 1.6 million member community, acting as a recurring revenue engine.
Private label RVs, manufactured through contract relationships, account for 40% of new RV sales, enabling price flexibility and broad market coverage.
RV market structure allows more dealer flexibility compared to automotive, with less OEM control over inventory and pricing.
Focus on affordability and lifestyle products, with retail parts and accessories complementing core RV sales.
Strategic priorities and financial outlook
Refocused on cost discipline and right-sizing operations after post-pandemic volatility, targeting $310M adjusted EBITDA in 2026.
Four pillars for upside: SG&A savings, used RV sales growth, dealership M&A, and new RV sales, with SG&A and used RVs most controllable.
SG&A savings of at least $15M targeted, with progress ahead of schedule.
Used RV market is twice the size of new, with proprietary data and valuation tools providing a competitive edge.
M&A remains a growth lever, with further dealership consolidation expected.
Used RV market and competitive advantages
Proprietary residual value calculations and data enable accurate used RV pricing and acquisition, similar to CarMax's approach in autos.
Balance sheet strength allows scaling of used inventory, unlike smaller competitors.
Inflation in new RV prices (5-7% increases) drives consumer demand toward used RVs, supporting optimism for used sales growth.
