Route 66 RV dealer network expands into Canada

OVERLAND PARK, KS, January 31, 2013 – With ten new locations on board and another ten locations in the works, the ROUTE 66 RV Network is aggressively expanding in Canada.

“We’ve been contacted by interested dealers from Vancouver Island to Nova Scotia” says Rob Merrill, ROUTE 66 partner. “What attracts these dealers is the unmatched opportunity to tie their local dealership to one common North American brand. 

The new ROUTE 66 Canadian dealers currently on board are:

• Triangle RV Centre – Sylvia Thistle-Miller - Sidney, BC
• Chemo RV Sales & Service – Jason Bell - 150 Mile House/Quesnel, BC
• Kelowna RVs – Randy Woodside - Kelowna, BC
• R.V. Lifestyles –  Neil Freidenberg - Calgary, AB
• Village RV – Darren Gelowitz - Regina, SK
• Transcona Trailer Sales – Garth Bromley - Winnipeg, MB
• Hiemstra Trailer Sales – Wayne Heimstra - London, ON
• Arrkann Trailer & RV Center — Ken Freidenberg — Edmonton, AB

One of the founding dealers of The Network in Canada, Sylvia Thistle-Miller of Triangle RV in Sidney, BC believes ROUTE 66 not only serves dealer’s needs but also the interests of their customers. “Unlike other RV dealer networks, ROUTE 66 seeks to add value to our customers’ experience after they buy an RV. They can get savings at nearly 500 KOA campgrounds in North America, traveling discounts through the ROUTE 66 RV Club and the peace of mind that comes with the new ROUTE 66 roadside/tTech24 program.”

Additional dealers will be added to the ROUTE 66 RV Network in Canada with the recommendation from these and other future member dealers. Each dealership’s territory will be clearly defined to ensure every dealership enjoys market exclusivity in offering The Network’s unique dealer and consumer program benefits in the U.S. and Canada.

The ROUTE 66 RV Network is the largest network of RV dealers in North America with nearly 150 locations in 44 states and provinces.
