FAIRFIELD - Camping World has pitched its tent at a new site in Solano County.
The company, a longtime tenant of the Cordelia area, recently opened the doors to a prominent, freeway-facing new facility at 5065 Quinn Road in eastern Vacaville.
Camping World didn't outgrow its Cordelia location as much as it expanded its focus to more space-intensive niches, said Paul Inman, regional vice president for the company.
Historically, Camping World focused on selling accessories for recreation vehicles.
'We wanted to add and offer our customers not only RV accessories but to be able to offer them a value on RV rentals and a value on RV sales,' he said.
In recent years, the company has also been expanding the number of stores it operates. However, the store in Vacaville on the Leisure Town Road exit on Interstate 80 will remain the only one in the region. The next-closest store is in Rocklin, Inman said.
Employees from the Cordelia site shifted to the new location, which is now fully staffed, he added.
The new site will allow the company to expand its offerings, although the store itself is not much larger than its previous site on Central Place in Cordelia.
'The acreage is really what is bigger,' Inman said. 'It was more suited to have an all-in-one shop. You will have RV sales, RV spas and details and . . . we also plan on having RV rentals.'
