Frequently Asked Questions
Why do RV dealers need substantial key person coverage?
RV dealerships often carry $10M-50M+ in floor plan financing. Key person coverage ensures business continuity and satisfies lender requirements if a principal owner or GM passes away.
How should family RV dealerships plan for succession?
Life insurance provides liquidity for estate taxes (often 40%+ of dealership value), equalizes inheritances between heirs, and funds buy-sell agreements for smooth ownership transitions.
What makes Tennessee a strong RV market?
Tennessee offers year-round camping, vast public lands (85% federally owned), proximity to national parks, and a growing retiree population—all driving strong RV sales and service demand.
