OPINION: Monopolies aren’t good for the RV industry

(July 16, 2015) -- Camping World gobbles up RV dealers, Thor Industries and Forest River take over RV manufacturers, Lippert Components buys up suppliers, Brown and Brown consolidates insurance companies and now LQK monopolizes the RV aftermarket. This should be raising red flags galore within the RV industry, especially in the RV aftermarket. Does this industry really want most of its dealers, suppliers, manufacturers and wholesale distributors controlled by a handful of companies?
