As I said in the interview with RV Business, our company succeeds based on their talents and abilities and our future expansion will depend on finding more good people."

Discussing the company's strategy, RV Business wrote that, "Lemonis' management team melds Camping World Inc.'s aftermarket accessories stores and FreedomRoads LLC's retail RV sales outlets into one conjoined entity through a new concept that some have likened to a Bass Pro Shop-style approach." In addition to the national RV dealer network, today there are some 80 Camping World Stores with plans to have 100 retail outlets by 2008. Since 2006 Lemonis has been leading the integration of the Camping World RV accessory stores with FreedomRoads RV retail dealerships toward the national brand Camping World RV Sales.

This figure indicates a 58 percent rise in RV ownership since 1980. This study also anticipates similar growth in the future, thus providing the catalyst for additional stores across the country.
