Did everybody miss the most important comment he made...
Perhaps the most revealing statement he uttered described how he really sees Camping World customers — as names and addresses.
“When I say I hate revenue, what I am essentially saying is that we don’t do deals, we don’t open stores, we don’t buy businesses for revenue. We buy them for accretive earnings and to grow the database.”
A database of active names & addresses is the currency of the internet.
It can be sold, traded, borrowed.
Who cares if somebody is not happy with the service, that's not where he makes his money.
