RV Insurance Solutions (RVIS), a national leader in RV-focused finance and insurance products and RV property and casualty coverage, announced that Michael Barras has joined the organization as a dealer development specialist.
Barras brings over 20 years of successful experience in the RV industry, having worked his way through virtually every dealership role — from PDI technician to general manager. His extensive operational knowledge across service, sales, F&I and executive leadership uniquely positions him to support RVIS dealer partners with practical, profit-driven solutions.
Founded 21 years ago in 2005, RV Insurance Solutions provides RV dealerships nationwide with customized RV property and casualty insurance policies, and other comprehensive F&I programs including service contracts, GAP products, roadside assistance, road hazard, maintenance solutions, along with hands-on training and dealer support.
“Michael understands this business because he’s lived every part of it,” said Tommy Watters, president of RV Insurance Solutions. “From the shop floor to the general manager’s office, he knows what drives profitability and what keeps dealers up at night. Adding someone with his background reinforces our commitment to true partnership, operational excellence, and long-term growth for our dealers.”
“I’m excited to join a company that genuinely understands the RV space,” said Barras. “RV Insurance Solutions has spent 21 years building strong dealer relationships and delivering real solutions. I’m looking forward to helping dealers maximize performance, profitability and customer satisfaction.”
Seth Ballard, director of F&I and sales development, added, “Michael’s background gives him instant credibility with dealers because he’s sat in their seat. He understands service absorption, F&I penetration, compliance, and the operational realities of running a store. His leadership will strengthen our ability to deliver training, product performance and measurable results for our partners.”
In his immediate role, Barras will focus on expanding RVIS’s property and casualty insurance initiatives nationwide, helping dealers increase unit sales, customer retention, customer satisfaction and simplify the sales and delivery process.
“I’ve trusted RVIS for over two decades as a dealer partner,” said Barras. “I’ve experienced the level of support and service they provide to both dealers and customers. I’m excited to now help continue that legacy — driving growth while delivering the same partnership and customer care I received.”
RV Insurance Solutions has built its reputation on delivering customized F&I programs, innovative protection products, compliance-driven processes, and comprehensive property and casualty insurance solutions designed specifically for RV owners and dealerships nationwide. As the agency continues to expand its national footprint, the company said it remains focused on providing best-in-class F&I products, RV property and casualty insurance, and hands-on training designed to elevate dealership performance.
