American Cruising RV has announced that it will build a state-of-the-art RV sales, service, parts and rental dealership in central Florida, which is set to complete by fall 2019. The facility will be located at the Wildwood RV Village at 882 East SR 44, Wildwood, FL 34785.
Armando Alonso, owner of American Cruising RV, has partnered with Mike Wood, owner of Wildwood RV Village, Travelers Campground, Breezy Oaks, and Lake Pan RV Village, for the new service. Alonso has more than 40 years in the RV industry, and has owned numerous campgrounds such as the Wild Frontier Campground in Ocala, Fla.
Alonso has built up many RV dealerships, such as County Line RV, Turning Wheel RV, America Choice RV and his newest American Adventures RV, located in Bushnell, Fla.
“Our purpose is to provide an onsite concierge service to all of our campground guest,” said Alonso. “Which includes RV service, parts, sales, financing, extended warranties, and a free safety inspection. Members will receive a complimentary one week stay at any of the four campgrounds when they purchase an RV from AARV. We also have plenty of space to host and welcome rally groups of all sizes.”
Wood and Alonso are also expanding the Wildwood RV Village Campground. Originally built in the early 1970s as a KOA, Wildwood RV Village was purchased in October 2017 by local campground owner-developers because of its location near The Villages and the intersection of four major U.S. and state highways.
“Building upon the ‘Old Wild West’ theme of the Wildwood area, no detail was spared as the transformation of the office, recreation halls and facilities,” said Wood. “Phase two is set to break ground in Spring 2019 as a 200-plus site expansion on the north side, adding larger and more modern spaces, additional outdoor recreational areas and amenities and a second convenient access in an out of the park. Phase three will begin in Spring 2020.”
