CW was an awesome catalog outlet for RV accessories when Garvin had it. Where else could you really go to find a folding dish rack or party lights. There was no Amazon, no internet, just the dingy Dealer parts shelves with special order parts that nobody picked up cluttering the shelves.
CW opened a retail store in CO back in the 80s, and I was in heaven! I would spend hours going up and down the isles just amazed at all the cool stuff. Twice a year I would fill my cart, and often it was items from start out entrepreneurs and inventors that just enjoyed camping and had a good idea.
Now - those dingy parts rooms at the Dealer are gone, along with the Dealer, in favor of what everyone became familiar with, Camping World. As a society we love homogenized cities and business - Walmart, Chiles, Home Depot, Carmax, and Camping World. We somehow flock to the brightly colored t-shirts and store fronts with some kind of false trust. Camping World capitalized on that, quite successfully. Unfortunately, what they offer is very focused on what they know, and the specialized expertise we used get has retired.
