RV Trader and Harvest Hosts Partner for a Seamless RV Experience
In an exciting development for RV enthusiasts, a strategic partnership has been formed between
RV Trader—the leading online marketplace for buying and selling new and used RVs—and
Harvest Hosts, the country’s premier RV camping membership network. This collaboration is designed to enhance the RV experience, taking travelers from their initial purchase all the way through to their adventures on the road.
Creating a More Connected RV Experience
As the RV lifestyle grows increasingly popular and community-oriented, this partnership aims to address the needs of RV owners by providing a comprehensive solution that spans the entire RV ownership journey. According to Roger Dunbar, CMO of RV Trader, “Traveling in an RV represents freedom and possibility... It’s about making the road ahead feel as limitless as the lifestyle itself.”
By merging
Harvest Hosts' extensive network of handpicked campsites with
RV Trader's robust marketplace, users will find it easier to plan their travels with confidence. The integrated approach promises to reduce the often-overwhelming friction in planning and booking RV stays, allowing travelers to focus on what truly matters: enjoying their journey.
Key Benefits of the Partnership
- - Integrated Data for Smarter Planning: The partnership will introduce intelligent planning tools that enable users to match their RV specifications with compatible Harvest Hosts campsites. Features like filtering options for length restrictions and hookup needs will facilitate seamless travel planning.
- - Expanded Access to Peer-to-Peer Sales Tools: This partnership extends the reach of RV Trader’s established consumer-to-consumer marketplace to members of Harvest Hosts. This means a more straightforward process for RV owners to list and promote their vehicles within a trusted community.
- - Upgrade-Friendly Features for Seasoned Travelers: Enhanced browsing features will allow users to search for new RVs tailored to their travel habits while also identifying suitable campsites. This integration ensures a smoother progression as their needs change.
- - Curated Travel Content: Users will gain access to valuable travel resources, including expert guides, inspirational destination ideas, and practical tips to enhance their travel experience beyond just the vehicle and campground.
Growth of the RV Community
The RV community is evolving, driven by factors such as digital nomadism and the desire for flexible travel options among remote workers and retirees. Evidence of this trend can be seen in the significant rise in RV ownership and the flourishing of the peer-to-peer RV sales marketplace. For instance, RV Trader has reported a remarkable
111% year-over-year increase in used listing search results and a
27% increase in total used listings, indicating an upsurge in demand for smarter solutions and more transparent selling platforms.
The integrated features of the RV Trader and Harvest Hosts partnership are set to roll out within this year, providing users an opportunity to seamlessly navigate listings, engage directly with other travelers, and plan smarter stays, all accessible through either platform.
Conclusion
RV Trader and Harvest Hosts are not just enhancing the RV ownership experience; they are pioneering a new era of RV travel that emphasizes community and support. With innovative tools and curated resources at their fingertips, RVers can set out on their adventures feeling more connected to both their vehicles and the destinations they visit.
