New Dealer-Direct Distribution Improves Bottom Line for Dealers
NSA RV Products, an innovative manufacturer of creative towing products, is revamping its distribution by shifting to a dealer-direct strategy, allowing its hard working dealers to earn a larger slice of the profits, according to a release. Under the new program, all dealer partners will enjoy a substantial 25% gross profit margin. What’s more, all dealer orders are shipped out within one or two working days from the company’s centralized Kansas headquarters and shipping hub. This central shipping location means dealers receive NSA products within three days of ordering through UPS.
What’s more, by eliminating distributors, NSA’s dealers do not have to pay distributor markups, increasing dealer profitability, the release continued. Through this strategy, officials said, NSA dealers can sell at lower prices and enjoy higher profit margins.

New fifth-wheel hitches to be unveiled at Elkhart Open House
According to Tod Westervelt, owner of NSA RV Products, the company is also introducing three new models to the company’s innovative line of ZEUS fifth-wheel hitches at the Open House.
Joining the company’s uniquely designed 22,500-pound capacity ZEUS fifth-wheel hitch are three new models; the 28,000-pound capacity ZEUS 5000 HD, the 28,000-pound Z-6000 HD and the super lightweight ZEUS Z-7000. All ZEUS hitches are backed up with a lifetime warranty.
The 28,000-pound ZEUS Z-5000 HD is the first hitch ever that can be used on both short bed and long bed trucks, as the innovative design allows 22-inches of movement for the 2-5/16-inch ball. This extremely sturdy hitch weighs only 58 pounds and boasts an 8,000-pound tongue weight.
This hitch also includes a king-pin adaptor, allowing king-pins to safely connect with 2-5/16 inch balls.
The ZEUS Z-6,000 HD offers a beefy 28,000-pound towing capability and 8,000-pound tongue weight, while only weighing 55 pounds As with the Z-5000, this hitch fits onto any turn-over ball and can accommodate both short-bed and long-bed trucks by allowing 22-inches of ball movement. Like the ZEUS Z-5000, this hitch includes a king pin adaptor.
The super-light ZEUS Z-7000 hitch weighs only 39 pounds, but offers a hefty 20,000-pound towing capability and a 6,000-pound tongue load. It also includes a King Pin Adaptor, allowing the king pin to hook up to a 2-5/16-in. ball.
The new ZEUS hitches give dealers a full-line of uniquely designed and featured products to offer to fifth-wheel trailer owners along with a higher profit margin thanks to NSA’s new dealer direct distribution program.
As with all of NSA’s innovative towing products, the fifth-wheel hitches are now selling direct from NSA to its dealer partners, for a more profitable retailer experience.
Show-goers can see and learn more about the dealer direct program and NSA’s new feature-friendly products at booth #22 in the Hall of Fame Museum building during the RV Open House.
SAINTE-CLAIRE, Quebec – Thousands of Prevost employees, customers, suppliers, government officials and local dignitaries recently celebrated the 100th anniversary of Prevost. The gathering took place in Sainte-Claire, the small town where Eugène Prévost founded the company in 1924.
“The success of Prevost is due to our committed employees and loyal customers – many of whom have been with us for generations,” said Prevost and Volvo Group Canada President François Tremblay. “The anniversary is an opportunity to recognize them while honoring the legacy of Eugène Prévost.”
Additionally, in the week prior, 165 Prevost motorhome owners traveled hundreds, and in some cases thousands, of miles to Québec City to take part in a multi-day 100 Year Anniversary Rally.
The Sept. 14 event was the culmination of nine months of activities that took place throughout Canada and the United States. The 100th anniversary celebration in Sainte-Claire included Prevost factory tours, visits to the Prevost museum, and a special appearance by “Clarisse,” along with food and entertainment.
Clarisse is a hand-built replica of the wooden body coach that Eugène Prévost fashioned. For years, it was the dream of André Turmel, one of Eugène’s grandsons, to recreate the very first Prevost ever made.
As the 100th anniversary approached, the family worked together to make the dream a reality. The project was a labor of love that spanned three generations. The name “Clarisse” was chosen to honor Eugène’s wife who was his biggest champion and tireless supporter.
Coincidentally, Prevost and Sainte-Claire are celebrating anniversaries that mark 100 and 200 years, respectively. Sainte-Claire was founded in 1824, followed by Prevost a century later.
Since January, Prevost has chronicled its 100th anniversary on its website – Prevostcar.com – and on Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTube and X. Through videos, images, stories and recollections, the company has captured the history and future of Prevost.

Garnet Instruments started modestly in George Fraser’s garage in 1993, with the business name coming from the street where Fraser’s home was located, Garnet Avenue.
Today, the Edmonton area, Alberta, Canada-based company is a major supplier of holding tank monitoring systems to some of the RV industry’s largest manufacturers, including Grand Design, Jayco, Keystone RV, Tiffin and Forest River.
The company’s holding tank monitor product line, called SeeLeveL, today accounts for about half of Garnet’s total business, according to Fraser. It’s an accomplishment that is perhaps even more impressive given that the company didn’t originally set out to serve the RV market.
Garnet got its start by manufacturing devices designed to detect fluid levels in oilfield transport trucks, said Fraser, noting that the gas and oil industry is big business in Alberta. The company also makes tank monitoring systems for other liquids transported by tanker trucks, including chemicals and septic and wastewater.
To grow its oilfield business in the United States, Fraser said company sales and marketing rep Don Shapansky traveled cross-country in his RV to promote the company’s products to oilfield representatives in various oil-producing states. Shapansky quickly identified a problem with his RV that he believed Fraser could help rectify.
“As he was doing his sales work in the field, he realized that the holding tank gauges were very poor in the RV industry,” Fraser said. “He asked, ‘Is there anything you can do to make this work better?’
“Of course, when you’re living in an RV full time, it’s a fairly major inconvenience when you have no idea how much water you’ve got, or if your sewer tanks are full, and so on,” he added. “And the big problem with the sewer tanks is they always get gummed up with toilet paper and with refuse, which makes it difficult to get an accurate reading.”
Building a Better Mousetrap
Making use of his bachelor’s and master’s degrees in engineering as well as his expertise in creating holding tank monitors for other industries, Fraser set out to design a better mousetrap, so to speak.
While other tank monitoring systems rely on probes fitted inside of the holding tanks to gauge liquid levels, Fraser designed a monitoring system that is externally mounted. He said advantages of that system include no debris buildup on the sensor to cause false readings, simple installation via self-adhesive sensors and existing wiring, and versatile compatibility that allows the monitoring system to be installed on various size and shape tank configurations. Additionally, Garnet holding tank monitors are digital and include more sensors for more accurate readings.
“With a lot of other systems, the probes given you a very rough indication of the tank levels, like the tank is one-third full or two-third full, whereas ours gives you a percentage that can be within 3 percent,” Fraser explained. “That’s because with our system, for a typical 12-inch tall tank, you’ve got 32 sensing points, which gives you about a 3 percent resolution.
“So, with an old (monitoring) system, when you drop below one-third, you’ve got no idea—am I almost empty? Or am I just under one-third? Well, in our case, you actually know right down to that 3 percent what your holding tank level is.”
Garnet’s holding tank monitors are a bit more expensive than competing products, Fraser acknowledged, but said they make up for it in quality.
“What we try to emphasize to them (OEMs) is that it’s not just about the (product) cost. It’s also about your warranty costs in terms of the expense of fixing these (competing) probe systems that break down constantly and how much customer dissatisfaction are you incurring,” he said.
New Models Being Showcased During Open House Week
Today, Garnet’s holding tank monitors come in a variety of configurations, including models that can monitor between one and seven holding tanks and an RV-C interface series. During Elkhart Open House Week, Garnet will use its exhibit booth (#121) to showcase two new products: the SeeLevel Soul, a data module that gathers tank level information from SeeLeveL senders and transmits it to a multiplex system via an RV-C bus; and the SeeLevel 709-BTP7, a Blu-tooth-enabled system capable of monitoring up to seven holding tanks.
Now in its third decade in business, Fraser said many things have changed for the company over the years, including expanded product offerings and the opening of a facility in the Dallas, Texas, area to serve the U.S. market.
One thing that has not changed, Fraser said, is the company’s commitment to keeping its manufacturing operations in Canada and its call center operations in-house, staffed by its own employees. Fraser said the company’s commitment to customer service also is unwavering.
“As a company, we believe in conducting ourselves with integrity and honesty and serving our customers well,” he said. “We’ve been around for over 30 years now and I think that philosophy has proven itself out.”
For an industry looking for any sort of sign that the market might be poised for a return, the good showing of America’s Largest RV Show in Hershey, Pa., is welcome news indeed.
While the final attendance of 47,879 didn’t set any records, it was about 2,300 more people than last year and, just as importantly, participating manufacturers, dealers and suppliers all had plenty of positive things to say about the caliber of show-goers who made their way to the Giant Center this year for a show that was hosted by the Pennsylvania RV and Campground Association (PRVCA).
Heather Leach
“The majority of manufacturers and dealers I talked to said that they had a really good show, and that it was better than what they expected,” said PRVCA Executive Director Heather Leach. “There was a handful that were saying you still have to really work to sell and that it’s maybe not as easy as it was a few years ago. But the general consensus that I’ve gotten from people was that they were very, very pleased and the traffic flow was good. And, honestly, there was very little complaints to me – and that’s a good sign.
“I mean, the weather definitely helped,” she continued. “We will take a rain-free week and it was beautiful all week, so that definitely works in our favor. But I was very happy to see the optimism that was out there. I think that’s kind of what our industry needs right now. So, I was glad to see that out here at the show, and hopefully that continues into the coming year.”
Leach also wished to publicly thank her “remarkable team” for successfully pulling off yet another event.
“We have a staff of seven, however, we have all of our part-time people, our operations team, our ticketing people, our golf cart taxis – and none of this would be possible without them being here,” Leach said. “They make my job very easy. That’s how I know they’re a good team: When I know I can delegate whatever it is and it will be done. It certainly would not be possible without them. So, it goes far beyond our office staff and they’re a great group of people for sure.”
Others with whom RVBusiness spoke agreed with Leach’s show assessment:
Ashley Bontrager Lehman
• Ashley Bontrager Lehman, Founder/President/CEO of Ember Recreational Vehicles
“Despite the market conditions that we’ve all been experiencing throughout the year, we felt positive about the show,” she said. “Sales were solid and reception was good, not only to our product, but I felt like the enthusiasm for RVing was back in a really good place. I probably went into the show with more of a, I don’t want to say negative, but I wasn’t expecting a whole lot just with the way the market has been. But I was pleasantly pleased with how the show went.
• Doug Miller, brand manager, REV Recreation Group
“We are always super excited to participate in the Hershey show,” Miller said. “Obviously, it’s been a staple in the industry as far as retail events have gone for years and years and years, and this year’s show didn’t disappoint from an attendance standpoint. However, just on a side note, we were kind of tucked back away in a corner, and being that we’re one of the premier Class A, Class C, and Class B motorized manufacturer, we kind of felt like we got a little bit of a short stick there. But we made the best of it. We had a great looking display. I think our numbers relative to the amount of people that found us were good and we thought our product stood tall and our salespeople worked hard.”
• Weston Dunker, director of sales/marketing, for REV Recreation Group
“Overall it was a good show for us. We were more cautiously optimistic going into it with it being the barometer for the direction the market’s headed. So, we started off the first couple of days and we exceeded our prior year sales, so that was really encouraging as we headed into the weekend. Although traffic seemed to pick up, our sales did not, but we were still overall fairly pleased with the show,” Dunker said.
“The thing that was most interesting to me – for us at least, I don’t know if the other OEMs and dealers experienced this on the motorized side – probably 70% of our deals were diesels versus gas. And I think that’s probably the inverse of what this show is historically about. Maybe it’s been 50-50 in the past, but the first day 75% of our deals were diesels and we’re like, ‘This is kind of weird. Maybe we’ll sell some more gas tomorrow.’ And then the next day it was the same thing,” he added.
Jon Ferrando
• Jon Ferrando, President and CEO, Blue Compass RV
Ferrando attended the Hershey Show and considered it a very positive retail experience for his 102-store dealer group based in Ft. Lauderdale, Fla. “It was fantastic,” said Ferrando. “The weather was great all week. Solid crowds. As far as the overall show, the attendance was down from 2017 to 2021, but up over 2023. Blue Compass had an exceptional week. Our teams were well prepared. We brought our best sales talent and in terms of sales in our exhibits, we smashed last year’s results. We were up 30 percent, and we set an all-time record for Entegra motorhome sales with almost 100.”
All in all, he added, it was a well timed experience, given recent RV industry sales trends, and he thinks it’s a good signal for the upcoming Elkhart RV Open House.
“It’s a good sign. Now the attendance is still probably one of the two lowest of the last ten years, but the crowds were solid and there were serious buyers out there and we had great show.”
Claude Donati
• Claude Donati, managing member NeXus RV
“We sold two more units than we did a year ago. We expected to do a little more than that although the crowd was high quality. We thought the customers were not complaining about the economy,” Donati said.
“The affluent, older customer was out there and vibrant. We worked with General RV and they had about five or six of the bigger displays and most of the numbers I saw coming through were from that time period and that demographic.”
On the weekend, NeXus expected a little more business, but that wasn’t the case.
“Saturday was a little softer than we thought it was and we didn’t do much on Sunday,” Donati explained. “I thought were were headed for a record show and then over the weekend it kind of dissipated. I think the blue-collar, working man and woman probably don’t have the wherewithal to pull the trigger like they have in years past.”
Even so, Donati said overall volume was up two units over last year – from 20 to 22 – with a good mix of product being sold.
Ben Hirsch
• Ben Hirsch, chief operating officer at Campers Inn RV
“Hershey show was great for us this year,” Hirsch said. “We actually saw – when we look at most of our booths year-over-year – improved performance, so we though that was really good and we’re pretty happy with the overall turnout of the show. We’re leaving that show pretty optimistic from what we’re seeing.”
Campers Inn only brought motorized units to the show, Hirsch said, adding that he wasn’t sure exactly what to expect from consumers, but, “It was a good show for us, so I’m not complaining.”

WASHINGTON, D.C. – The national average for a gallon of gas kept up its torrid pace of decline, sinking six cents since last week to $3.24. The primary culprits behind the dip are low demand and falling oil costs. Meanwhile, the national average cost for public EV charging finally moved after a static few months, ticking a penny higher, according to a report by the American Automobile Association (AAA).
“There are an ever-increasing number of states east of the Rockies that have some retail gas locations selling regular for under $3 a gallon, so drivers will have more in their wallets with autumn approaching,” said Andrew Gross, AAA spokesperson. “Should the national average fall below $3, it will be the first time since May 2021.”
With an estimated 1.2 million AAA members living in households with one or more electric vehicles, AAA tracks the average kilowatt-per-hour cost for all levels of public charging by state. Today’s national average for a kilowatt of electricity at a public charging station is 35 cents.
According to new data from the Energy Information Administration (EIA), gas demand fell last week from 8.93 million b/d to 8.47. Meanwhile, total domestic gasoline stocks rose 219.2 to 221.6 million barrels, and gasoline production decreased last week, averaging 9.4 million barrels per day. Tumbling gasoline demand and oil costs will likely keep pump prices sliding.
Today’s national average for a gallon of gas is $3.24, 20 cents less than a month ago and 59 cents less than a year ago.
Oil Market Dynamics
At the close of Wednesday’s formal trading session, WTI rose by $1.56 to settle at $67.31 a barrel. The EIA reports that crude oil inventories increased by 0.8 million barrels from the previous week. At 419.1 million barrels, U.S. crude oil inventories are about 4% below the five-year average for this time of year.
