The 19th episode of TSN Conversations Unplugged circles up two RV dealer-experts with an RV/boat storage consultant and operator to strategize ways the two businesses can benefit 
by working in tandem.
Participants in this session include Phil Ingrassia of RV Dealers Association, Bob Been of Blue Compass RV and Greg Ellsworth of Self Storage Consulting Group.
Led by TSN President Amy Bix, the conversation reveals some interesting points that many industry insiders might find surprising.
For example: Did you know that some RV purchases are stalled at the dealership because the buyers have had difficulty securing a space to store the vehicle?
Possible solutions:
- Storage operators can communicate with dealerships to let them know where their facilities are located, how much space they have for RVs and what types of services/amenities are available.
- Dealerships could create a list of nearby storage locations and offer solutions to potential buyers.
- Dealerships with existing land could potentially operate storage facilities onsite or on a nearby property.
Much more is discussed throughout the podcast validating the existing need for more RV storage and the benefits of both dealerships and facility operators to have open communication.
