General RV Center can get pretty specific about the traveling homes it offers for sale. Operating through more than half a dozen locations in Michigan and Ohio that include more than 100 service bays, the #1 RV dealer in the nation (by volume) sells more than 5,000 new and used camping trailers, motor homes, RVs, travel trailers, and truck campers a year. It stocks popular brands, such as Dutchmen, Starcraft, Forest River, Monaco, Newmar, Fleetwood, and Winnebago. General RV Center also rents RVs at a handful of its locations. Online, RV shoppers may search its inventory and owners may apply for insurance. Founded in 1962 by Abe Baidas, General RV Center is still owned and operated by the Baidas family.
