A collaboration between Camco, a leading manufacturer of premium solutions for recreational vehicles, and RV Overnights, the online platform and app that enables RV travelers to find memorable one-night stays at small businesses across the United States and Canada, will give RV Overnights’ (RVO) hosts an opportunity to enhance their guests’ experiences and add another revenue stream.
More than a thousand small business owners nationwide are currently host destinations within the RV Overnights network, including farms, animal rescues, amusement parks, museums, wineries, nonprofits and more. RV Overnights members that visit Hosting Locations do not pay for their first night stay directly; the program instead encourages its members to support the local small business with purchases while visiting. Many hosts offer unique products, tours, tastings and more. Some locations are even nonprofits who accept donations in exchange for a visit.
Now, a value-add program enables RV Overnights’ hosts to create a Camco marketplace on-site stocked with essential RVing kits and supplies for guests to purchase, making it convenient for them to replenish important items or fix small repairs. Hosts will be provided an exclusive order form with special rates from Camco and product selections include everything from TST holding tank treatments, RhinoFLEX sewer hoses and sanitation gloves to Tastepure water filters and hoses, FasTen leveling blocks and Camco bath tissue.
“This partnership with RV Overnights represents an exciting opportunity for Camco to connect with RV enthusiasts in a whole new way,” said Lisa Schoder, chief marketing officer at Camco. “For nearly 60 years, Camco has been dedicated to making the RV lifestyle more enjoyable, and we understand that today’s RVers value both quality products and unique experiences. By providing RV Overnights hosts with our trusted essentials, we’re not only creating a convenient solution for travelers who may have forgotten crucial items, but we’re also empowering small business owners and property hosts with an additional revenue stream. It’s a natural fit that strengthens the entire RV community — from the family starting their first adventure to the seasoned full-timers who know the value of having the right gear when you need it.”
“At RV Overnights, we’re committed to supporting our hosts in every possible way, and helping them create real income opportunities is at the core of that commitment,” said Rob Case, founder of RV Overnights. “This partnership with Camco is a natural fit. It not only makes essential RV supplies more accessible for travelers right where they’re staying, but it also gives our hosts a new, simple way to boost profitability with each visit. This is the first collaboration of its kind in our space and a great example of how we’re leading the industry with practical, common-sense innovations that serve both our members and hosts. We care deeply about the impact we have on small-town America, and we’ll continue to think creatively about how to strengthen and grow this community we’re so proud to be part of.”
