RV Business magazine is launching the Third Annual RV Business Top 50 Dealer Awards.  A gala reception and dinner at the Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas will announce the winners October 6. This is a separate event from the RV Dealers International Convention/Expo and requires separate registration.

This year, RV Business expanded the awards to include recreational park model manufacturers, reflecting how significant their contributions have become in a rapidly changing marketplace. The awards name 10 Blue Ribbon retailers, and one organization receives the Dave Altman Award, the equivalent of RV Business' "Lifetime Achievement Award."

RV manufacturers nominate dealers for AfterMarket parts stores, sales lots, service work, F&I departments, and personnel matters in addition to civic and charitable contributions. Nominated dealers are invited to submit applications, which are independently reviewed by a panel of industry experts, none of whom are directly associated with RV Business or Affinity.

RV Business recognizes the Top 50 award winners in the October edition, on RVBusiness.com, and in dealers' local and regional newspapers.

Supporting the RV Business Top 50 Dealer Awards this year are the following "Leadership Alliance" sponsors: ADP Lightspeed, Bank of the West, Blue Ox, Cummins Onan RV Generators, Freightliner Custom Chassis Corp., RV America Insurance, RV Trader Online, and Protective.

RV Business also announces special celebrity guest, conservative Republican columnist and bestselling author, Ann Coulter, as the keynote speaker during the award ceremony. Coulter will talk about a variety of hot political topics including the "Tea Party" movement and related conservative themes.
