Who is Family RV Group?

Family RV Group began in Cincinnati as a single family-owned dealership in 1968. Since then, the family has grown to twelve locations across five different states. With recognitions as a Deloitte Cincinnati Top 100 Company and RV Business Magazine's Top 5 Blue Ribbon Dealer, Family RV Group continues to "treat both emplyees and customers like family."

The reports I ran showed that our sales associates who used Kenect sold more units. The highest performing locations were the ones using Kenect the most.
