75 Year Old RV Rental & Dealership Available for Sale
Business Description
Turnkey RV dealership with a 75-year legacy. The current owners have successfully operated it for 35 years and are now retiring, creating a rare opportunity to step into a stable, high-performing business. This is the only RV rental option of its kind in the greater Chicagoland area—truly own the market.
The rental operation is a strong revenue engine with a loyal customer base, established online booking system, and dominant market share. Units regularly book out months in advance for major events such as Air Show, college games, bike races, festivals, and more.
Significant upside remains for an operator who wants to expand RV sales and service. With interest rates trending downward, the next 5–10 years are positioned to be another growth cycle for the industry.
The property itself offers flexibility and can support any sales-driven use: RVs, marine/boats, cars, motorcycles, ATVs, and more.
