Lazydays Holdings, Inc. and Campers Inn Holding Corp., a family-operated RV dealership group, announced Sept. 16 in a letter of intent (LOI) for the acquisition by Campers Inn RV of the assets of Lazydays and its subsidiaries.
“Throughout our 49-year history, Lazydays has played a leading role in the RV industry, recognized for giving our customers a great sales and service experience, and being pivotal to their RV adventures,” Ron Fleming, CEO of Lazydays, said. “It has been a transformative few years as an industry, and within Lazydays, while navigating a rapidly evolving industry and an increasingly complex retail landscape. Lazydays was built on the core values of customer first, teamwork, professionalism, accountability, family, and fun, and we have no doubt Campers Inn RV will continue to uphold these values for many years to come with our customers, our employees, and our OEM partners.”
After the closing, Campers Inn RV plans to continue the operation of Lazydays’ dealerships in Tucson, Arizona; Johnstown, Colorado; Seffner, Florida; Knoxville, Tennessee; and St. George, Utah.
Campers Inn RV is assessing whether to continue to operate Lazydays’ other dealerships after the closing of the transaction. The LOI states that the transaction may close in a series of site-by-site closings if mutually agreed by the parties, and that Campers Inn RV’s target final closing date is before Thanksgiving and no later than Dec. 1, 2025. The transaction would expand Campers Inn RV’s nationwide presence to 48 dealership locations across 22 states.
If consummated, the acquisition would provide Campers Inn RV with its first entry into Tennessee, Colorado and Utah.
After the closing of the transaction, Lazydays’ Tampa-area dealership in Seffner, Florida, is expected to operate under the name “Lazydays by Campers Inn RV.” In addition, Campers Inn RV plans to grow the Tampa facility through numerous customer rallies, enhanced service and a unique experience. Lazydays and Campers Inn RV customers alike will benefit from a larger coast-to-coast service network, a broader selection of new and pre-owned RVs, and the support of a dealership group that has been family-owned and operated since 1966, the company said.
“The potential acquisition of Lazydays is more than a business decision; it’s a reflection of our shared values and a continuation of the traditions that have guided Campers Inn RV since our founding nearly 60 years ago,” Jeff Hirsch, CEO of Campers Inn RV, said. “Both companies have always believed in treating customers and employees with dignity, respect and care. Together, we are creating a future that would not only expand our national presence but strengthen the culture of service and integrity that defines who we are.
“By uniting two legacies under one family of dealerships, Campers Inn RV aims to position itself for long-term success while remaining true to its roots,” Hirsch continued. “Customers will be able to expect the same dedication, care and support they have always known, while employees will find new opportunities to grow in a company that values people first. This acquisition would ensure that the Campers Inn RV and Lazydays traditions will not only endure but thrive for generations to come.”
“The Lazydays story is truly a great one in our industry, and one that we are excited for the chance to continue for decades to come,” Ben Hirsch, COO of Campers Inn RV, added. “The Tampa location, located on 129 acres, is the largest single-point RV dealership in the world, and has a unique offering for customers — offerings that we are excited to enhance for customers’ benefit. In addition, adding the locations in Tennessee, Colorado, Arizona, and Utah would enhance our national footprint and allow us to continue to be the largest family-operated RV dealership group. We are in the process of assessing Lazydays’ other locations and will make further determinations as we progress through the process.”
