MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT & CEO
Where MARVAC Lives
Roughly 2,000,000 RVs purchased the last three years. More than 10 million first-time campers in 2021 and 2022. Millions discovering what many of us already knew – the RV and camping lifestyle, or as I like to call it “the original social distancing,” is a truly remarkable way
to travel and recreate. With so many new faces joining seasoned veterans at RV parks and campgrounds throughout the country, the need for quality, reliable information has grown. That’s where MARVAC lives.
• “I want to upgrade (or downsize) from my current RV – what do I need to know, and where should I go?”
• “I bought an RV – now what’s next? What should I expect at from the dealership when I take delivery?”
• “We’re ready to go camping – what types of supplies are “must-haves?”
• “We want something new for a campground – what recommendations do you have on RV parks in a certain area?”
• “We need some service done to our RV – who should we call?”
For these questions and more, MARVAC is the go-to source for information on RVing and camping in Michigan. By flipping through the information in this directory, by coming to one or more of MARVAC’s six industry-leading RV & Camping shows throughout the state, by reading through our extensive library of articles and blog posts, or by engaging MARVAC on social media platforms, consumers can be confident they’ll find the right answers with MARVAC.
MARVAC...the ultimate resource for beginning your Michigan adventure.
