New products/services

1. Sustainable “Off‑Grid Adventure Bundles”

Camping World could introduce integrated outdoor bundles that combine solar‑power systems with activity‑specific gear. With sustainable RVs projected to reach 10% market penetration by 2028 (Moreau, 2026) and nearly 90% of Canadian campers participating in secondary activities such as hiking (60%), fishing (50%), and canoeing or kayaking (30%) (Bush, 2026), these curated packages would appeal to eco‑conscious, adventure‑driven consumers. This approach aligns with the company’s “unique and comprehensive assortment of RV products” (Camping World Holdings, Inc., n.d.) and strengthens its position among active outdoor enthusiasts.

2. Expanded Certified Pre‑Owned (CPO) and Budget Tier Strategy

Camping World should broaden its used RV inventory and establish a clearly defined budget category featuring units priced under $30,000. Used RV sales are expected to grow 7% faster than new RV sales through 2025 (Moreau, 2026), and households earning $40,000–$100,000 represent the core camping demographic (Bush, 2026). Prioritizing this segment aligns with projections that budget‑tier RVs will maintain a 45% market share through 2028 (Moreau, 2026), making a CPO‑focused strategy both timely and profitable.

3. Unified Good Sam Lifecycle Subscription

The Good Sam brand could launch a consolidated subscription that bundles major ownership expenses—specifically insurance and maintenance into a single monthly payment. For Canada’s 2.1 million RV‑owning households, insurance (36%) and maintenance (28%) are the largest non‑travel annual costs (Bush, 2026). A unified plan would support the company’s mission to make “RVing fun and easy” by simplifying recurring expenses and reducing financial friction for customers (Camping World Holdings, Inc., n.d.).

4. eRV and Autonomous Service Infrastructure Upgrades

Camping World should begin upgrading its service centers with dedicated bays for electric RVs (eRVs) and autonomous‑vehicle diagnostics. With eRV adoption projected to reach 5% of sales by 2030 and autonomous RV technology expected as early as 2027 (Moreau, 2026), early infrastructure investment ensures the company remains the leader in RV maintenance and repair as high‑tech units become more common (Camping World Holdings, Inc., n.d.).

5. Managed Peer‑to‑Peer (P2P) Rental Platform

Leveraging its “industry’s most extensive online presence,” Camping World could launch a Good Sam‑managed peer‑to‑peer rental marketplace (Camping World Holdings, Inc., n.d.). The RV rental sector is expanding at 9% annually (Moreau, 2026), and Canadians made 1.3 million RV rental trips in 2022 (Bush, 2026). A managed platform would create new income opportunities for current owners while attracting younger consumers—particularly millennials, who are projected to represent 40% of RV owners by 2026 (Moreau, 2026).
