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.

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.
