COVID-19 Causes RV Boom in the Bluegrass State
In less than 10 years, Owensboro RV., has grown from selling pre-owned campers out of a small cubicle to a sprawling complex, at 3810 W. Parrish Ave. in Owensboro, Ky.
The business was established in 2011 by Rick and Lisa Nehls, who reside in Evansville.
Running the day-to-day operations is Adam Overall, the company’s general manager, who worked for a local car dealership for 17 years before joining Owensboro RV.
Overall said he purchased a camper from Rick Nehls when the business was getting started and the two developed a relationship from there.
“I was one of his first customers and we just became friends,” said Overall, who went to work for Owensboro RV in 2015. “… Rick and I would talk shop, and as the business grew, he and I just worked things out. My experience was just being a camper and I had a fixed operations background and he had more of a sales background.”
And no longer is Owensboro RV just pre-owned campers.
As part of the inventory, Owensboro RV offers new travel trailers, toy haulers, motorhomes, truck campers, fifth wheels and camping trailers with all the amenities.
Overall said Owensboro RV is a Forest River exclusive dealer with Wildwoods as its most popular brand.
