SARATOGA — Alpin Haus, the Northeast’s largest, familyowned outdoor recreation retailer, has been named one of the top 50 RV dealers in North America by RVBusiness magazine. Alpin Haus owns and operates RV stores in Amsterdam, Saratoga, and Port Jervis, NY. Representatives from Alpin Haus accepted the designation at the 2018 RV Dealers Association International Convention/Expo at the Paris Las Vegas on Nov. 7.
“The Alpin Haus team is thrilled be recognized as one of the RV industry’s leading dealers by RVBusiness magazine,” said Andy Heck, president of Alpin Haus.
“Alpin Haus is honored to continue helping families find the right outdoor recreation vehicle for their needs and we are proud to provide them with outstanding customer service and a full lineup of state-of-the-art vehicles,” he added.
Alpin Haus has been in business for more than 50 years and deals, rents and services everything from recreational vehicles (RV), snowmobiles, skis, boats, pools and spas. In June, Alpin Haus celebrated the ending of a multi-year project, which created a brand new sales office and customer lounge at Alpin Haus RV of Saratoga. The expansion added 3,600-square-feet and cost close to $500,000.The Expansion follows a 68 percent growth in RV sales since 2014.
To identify the list, RVBusiness magazine began harvesting qualified nominees in early summer from RV manufacturers who nominated dealer partners based not just on sales volume but whom they felt exemplify RVB Top 50 qualities and practices.Those dealers were invited to complete the program’s extensive application and an expanded panel of independent industry insiders met in early September to review all the applications and select the RVB Top 50.
RVBusiness Publisher Sherm Goldenberg said the RVB Top 50 award continues to gain momentum and value among North American dealers, contributing to the program’s mission to elevate the industry as a whole.
“We’re pleased with the increased recognition that these awards are garnering in both the U.S. and Canadian recreation vehicle markets, and it also provides a unique benchmarking tool for a wide array of retailers to examine their own operations and see how they measure up to industry standards and their own expectations on the brink of the 2019 model year,” said Goldenberg. “For their laudable achievements and ongoing excellence, we congratulate this year’s RVB Top 50 dealers.”
