Did you know?

When RV owners were asked why they bought, the top answers had almost nothing to do with the unit.
• 58 percent said unwinding and relaxing
• 57 percent said spending time in nature
• 53 percent said visiting places of natural beauty
• 43 percent said being able to bring their pets

What customers are really buying is time outdoors with the people and pets they care about, and the unit is how they get there. Worth remembering the next time your team writes an ad or greets someone on the lot.

"We've converted every store that we've purchased over to IDS."
- Chris Clarke, Traveland RV

Growth is where most dealership systems start to crack. New rooftop, new processes, new workarounds, and before long nobody can see the whole business.

Traveland RV grew to seven locations without that happening.

Their story covers how running every store on one system made each acquisition faster to absorb, with data conversion and training handled location by location.

When every location runs the same way, adding the next one is a far smaller job than it would otherwise be.

That is a wrap on the Route 66 RV Network Rally.

Thank you to the Route 66 team for putting it together, and to every dealer who stopped by to talk shop.

It was three days of straight conversation about what is working in dealerships right now and what is not, and those conversations are the reason we keep coming back.

A unit sitting on your lot is not just unsold. Every day it stays there it costs you floor plan interest, aging penalties, and capital that could have been turning somewhere else.

Our next webinar covers what disciplined inventory management looks like day to day: setting age thresholds and acting on them, using your DMS data to find which units are tying up the most capital, and running a weekly review your sales team is accountable to.

Did you know?
The median RV owner now uses their RV 30 days a year. In the 2021 study that number was 20 days.

That is a 50 percent increase in use, and most of the consequences land on your service department.

More days on the road means more wear, more warranty work, and more customers who need their unit back quickly.

How many deals are sitting in your office right now waiting on one signature?

Paperwork delays do not just slow the close. They hold up funding, tie up inventory, and leave customers wondering what is happening.

In this webinar, see how IDS eSign brings signatures inside your DMS so documents go out, come back signed, and file themselves.
• Send for signature without leaving IDS
• See what is signed and what is outstanding
• Cut re-entry and lost paperwork
• Keep a clean audit trail for compliance
