NeXus RV will be selling through an exclusive and limited RV dealership network. NeXus RV, a full-line motorhome manufacturer founded in 2010 by Claude Donati and Dave Middleton, announced it will partner with dealerships beginning in September of this year.
“In 2010, we were looking for a way to continue to do what we love to do, which is build motorhomes. The Recession made selling through the dealers impossible, so we sold units direct to retail customers,” said Donati, co-founder of NeXus RV. “As we continued to grow the company, we expanded our portfolio and we built everything from Class C to diesel pushers. Our products have been super competitive and now that the market has consolidated, we believe the time is right to give dealerships an alternative product which has been proven in the market.”
NeXus RV has several production facilities on the north side of the city of Elkhart, totaling about 220,000 square feet of manufacturing space.
“Our motor homes have some exclusive features such as our high strength low alloy steel framing throughout, which provides a 72 percent stronger structure than all other motor home products. We also do not use any wood products in our sidewalls or roofs,” said Dave Middleton, president of NeXus RV. “We have already signed several premier motor home dealerships in the market and expect to have around 40 to 50 dealerships selling our products.”
NeXus RV plans to close all of their company-owned dealerships in August and no longer sell any units directly to the retail public after August 30.
“We thoroughly enjoyed working with the retail customers, but our experience and history is selling through the dealership network as we worked with many of the great dealerships for nearly 20 years prior to starting NeXus RV,” Donati said. “After selling directly, we learned the value of having an exclusive brand that allows you to work with customers and invest the time needed to build value and pro t in your sales.”
NeXus RV will have a large display of products at their showroom at 3400 Reedy Drive, Elkhart Ind. — one half mile North of County Road 6 among all the manufacturing displays.
