At the head of the class, selected by a panel of industry experts that convened in September for some rather intense deliberations gaveled by BJ Thompson Associates at the RV/MH Hall of Fame in Elkhart, Indiana, are five Blue Ribbon dealers tabbed for their well-documented commitment to best practices in most every professional aspect of their retail stores—profitability, employee relations, technician training, charitable giving and especially for placing a high priority on consumer care.
