2018 Canadian RV Dealer of the Year

The winners of the 2018 Canadian RV Dealer of the Year Award are Jim Gorrie and Kevin Betzold, from GNR Camping World, Winnipeg, Manitoba.

Melanie Taylor, Associate Publisher of RV Lifestyle Magazine and RV Dealer News, the sponsor of the award, had the following remarks on this year’s presentation: “2018 marks the second time in the history of the Canadian RV Dealer of the Year Award that we have made the presentation to a second-generation winner.

In 2004, Jack Bell from Chemo RV in BC was our Canadian RV Dealer of the Year, and last year, his son Jason Bell was the first of our second-generation winners.

Jim and Kevin “have made significant long-term contributions to their Provincial RVDA, to the RVDA of Canada, and to their local community. As co-owners of the dealership, they bring decades of experience to the business, years of tireless support to the RVDA movement in Canada, and an enviable track record of charitable service to the community.” said Melanie Taylor, Associate Publisher of RV Dealer News and RV Lifestyle Magazine
This year, the Canadian RV Dealer of the Year selection committee has once again chosen a second-generation winner…
In 1992, they had the privilege of honouring Gil Robert, of GNR Camping World, as the Canadian RV Dealer of the Year.

“RVing is a lifestyle and a true family experience. We are a family business and our family focus is front and center at the dealership”

“Thank you very much for this great honour. Our father-in-law, Gil Robert, started the dealership in the early 1970s. His motto was always to create a unique and memorable camping experience. We strive to carry on that motto and ensure that we provide complete customer satisfaction and are totally committed to enhancing RV lifestyles.”
