Travelcamp RV: Keeping Camping A Family Affair

Salem Hassan has spent his life in and around RVs. His father ran an RV dealership, Suncoast RV, in Jacksonville, Florida, and Hassan spent over 20 years learning the ins and outs of the industry from him. His father sold his company in 2010, but that wasn’t the end of Hassan’s time working with RVs. Armed with industry insights gleaned from his family’s business and a marketing degree from Jacksonville University, Hassan started his own company, Travelcamp RV, in 2014. In just under a decade, the Jacksonville-based company has become one of the largest RV dealers in the southeastern U.S. with 15 locations in six states.

Family First

Throughout all that success and growth, one thing remains at the center—family. “Travelcamp RV is a family-run business,” says Hassan. “I learned from my father and now I am a father who enjoys spending time with my family in our RV. That’s what I want for our customers, to make more memories together, and our company reflects that. Our team is dedicated to customer service and growing the business as a family, not just a corporation.”

Options For Any Size & Any Budget

Travelcamp carries a large selection of RVs from manufacturers such as Forest River, Keystone RV, Palomino, Riverside RV, and more in a variety of sizes from motorhomes to pop-up tent campers to accommodate any need. In addition to sales, Travelcamp also offers rentals as well as an expert parts and service staff to keep its customers on the road so the memories they make are from the fun of camping, not hours spent on the side of the road with a breakdown.

Quality Advertising Brings Quality Leads

Travelcamp RV has had a successful advertising partnership with RVUniverse for five years. The company uses its spreads in RVUniverse magazine to spotlight units that also appear online, along with the rest of Travelcamp RV’s inventory, at RVUniverse.com. “RVUniverse allows us to aggregate all our units online for no additional charge with options to upgrade listings,” says Hassan. “Their client-friendly AdBase interface is easy to use and will automatically alert us to any price mismatches as well as giving us an option to replace inactive inventory and letting us adjust copy in our ads. We get high-quality leads and have received a great return on our investment.”

A Big, Bold Future

As Travelcamp RV continues to grow, Hassan’s goal is to expand to even larger markets across the United States. Hassan also plans to keep cultivating an engaged team dedicated to developing a great company, one that will help more families spend time together bonding and making lifelong memories on trips in their RV.
