Thursday, April 29th, 2010

Pedata RV Center attends more RV and car auctions than in the past several years. The largest RV and car auctions take place all throughout the country. In order to keep a fully stocked, high quality inventory of used RVs (class a, class b, class c, fifth wheel, travel, trailer, etc.) Pedata RV Center and competitive dealers are attending higher numbers of auctions than ever before.

Pedata RV Center approaches auctions looking for certain types of vehicles (class a, class b, class c, fifth wheel, travel, trailer, etc.). Gerard Pedata of Pedata RV Center responded, “One thing we’ve noticed that seems to be a trend running through all the auctions we frequent is that travel trailer prices are going up drastically. Dealers are paying more to keep their travel trailer and fifth wheel inventory stocked. This indicates a big demand for used travel trailers and fifth wheels.”

Auctions Pedata RV Center attends regularly include:

1.    Manheim Tucson: once per month (boat/rv)
2.    Manheim Southern California: twice per month (rv)
3.    Manheim Lakeland Florida: once per month (rv)

7.    Premier Auction in Las Vegas, NV: once per month (rv)

Pedata RV Center Sees Surge in Snowbird Business

Monday, April 26th, 2010

Phoenix, AZ (Vocus) April 29, 2010 — Pedata RV Center sees surge in snowbird business. Most RV parks and resorts that cater to snowbirds are reporting higher occupancies this winter in comparison to last year (National Association of RV Parks and Campgrounds). Some are attributing the surge to economic conditions while others are attributing the surge to savvy campground/RV resort owners knowing their market and attracting the snowbird group with a wide variety of entertainment options.

Pedata RV Center’s Gerard Pedata responds, “It’s good to see more snowbirds this winter filling up RV parks. RV park owners and operators are getting much more creative with their activities catering to the baby boomers.”

Economical factors suggested as reasons for the surge include:

1.    Strong Canadian dollar

2.    Stronger economy

3.    Moderate fuel prices

4.    Improving stock market

Creative activities/entertainments often offered at popular RV campgrounds/RV resorts that draw the snowbird crowd include:

1.    Theatrical and/or choral groups

2.    Potter, sewing, silver smithing, ceramics, oil painting, etc.

3.    Pilates, tai chi, yoga, dance classes, etc.

4.    Lawn bowling, softball, volleyball, etc.

5.    Classes on politics, music, etc. taught by college professors

RV Campground and Resort visitors appear willing to pay higher prices for campground hosted events. Many cite their desire to stay at an all inclusive location instead of paying a lower price for their lodging and paying money into the surrounding area for entertainment. RV campgrounds/resorts are far more likely to hire professional entertainment for on-site programming than they have been in years past.
