Camping World apparently bought all three RV-Max locations - Mesquite, Sherman and Cleburne. Wonder how the Cleburne location will work out since it is just a few miles from the existing McClain's/Camping World store in Burleson.
Camping World has apparently been on a strategy of acquiring small to mid-sized RV dealerships across the country. They picked up one in Bossier City, LA in 2016 and in Tyler, TX about the same time.
For those who don't know - Texas has some very funny franchise laws that protect vehicle dealers from having someone move into their territory. There is at leasst one Camping World stores in Texas (Denton) which do not sell any RV's. New or used. The Fort Worth (Burleson) store does not sell RVs, they are sold through a co-located McClain dealership.
Will be interesting to see how the future goes. I've bought from RV-Max in the past and been very happy with the experience and after sale service/ support.
Funny, though - I would not drive 45 minutes to go use a $10 coupon. Even though that might be only 15-20 miles in Dallas - it would cost more than $10 in fuel to get there and back.
When I'm in a Camping World store, I always check the on-line price, and frequently I'll walk out of the store without purchasing anything because I ordered the item on my phone from CampingWorld.com for a cheaper price.
