SylvanSport, the Brevard, North Carolina-based manufacturer of adventure travel trailers, pop-up campers, rooftop tents and outdoor gear, announced the appointment of TC Thompson as director of business development, a newly created role at SylvanSport. Thompson will drive strategic dealer growth for the brand and provide the highest level of support for new and existing distribution partners. With over 20 years in the automotive and power sports industries, Thompson brings a wide breadth of experience working with dealers in a range of capacities, including sales, finance, operations and dealer support. With a proven track record of strategic planning and dealer advocacy, Thompson will oversee SylvanSport’s commitment to relationship building and dealer success with distribution partners.
“The importance of building and maintaining strong dealer relationships cannot be understated,” said Florian Peyssonneaux, vice president of sales. “The philosophy at SylvanSport is we all succeed together. With this new position, and bringing TC on board to champion it, we are confident that 2025 will be a great year for us and our dealer partners.”
A native of Western North Carolina, Thompson still resides in the region with his wife and two children. In his spare time, Thompson can be found hiking and camping in the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains or pursuing his quest to cook the perfect ribeye.
“SylvanSport is in growth mode and this is such a great time to join the team,” says Thompson. “With the launch of three new innovative products in 2024 — VAST, GO All-Terrain and TraiLOFT — we’re bringing new customers into the market and expanding our distribution footprint. The keys for me are to establish good partnerships, advocate for dealer success, and build strong relationships.”
SylvanSport is continuing to build its network with dealers who value quality, innovation and service, the company said. Interested dealers can reach out to Thompson directly at TThompson@sylvansport.com.
