“New data is showing that young families are the fastest-growing group of RV owners,” said Dennis Anderson, General RV spokesman. “I think there’s an overall shift in values among young families, and RV vacations are an affordable way for families to spend time together.”
General RV Center currently has nine locations nationally, and will open its 10th location in Huntley, Illinois (a suburb of Chicago) this spring. The new Chicago location is expected to create 60 to 70 local jobs in a variety of positions. In addition, three of General RV Center’s locations—North Canton, Ohio; Jacksonville, Florida; and Salt Lake City, Utah—are expanding and adding 20 to 30 new positions to each property.
Recreation vehicle shipments are projected to total 236,700 nationally in 2010, a gain of 42.8 percent from 2009 shipments. This is according to a forecast by RV industry analyst and director of consumer surveys at the University of Michigan, Dr. Richard Curtin. RV sales and shipments are undoubtedly rebounding from the economic downturn, and Detroit-based General RV Center is benefiting.
