Company Profile
La Mesa RV Center is one of the largest multi-location recreational vehicles (RV) dealers in the United States.

La Mesa RV started as a single location in a suburb of San Diego, California known as La Mesa, California. The company was founded in 1972 during the height of the energy crisis and very few people were interested in purchasing a “gas guzzling” RV. Today, thousands of people visit La Mesa RV locations in San Diego and Davis, California; Phoenix, Yuma, Mesa, Tucson and Quartzsite, Arizona; Albuquerque, New Mexico; Sanford, Port Saint Lucie, Fort Myers and Sarasota, Florida.

Each La Mesa RV location sells a unique mix of new motorhomes, travel trailers or 5th wheels from leading manufacturers such as Winnebago, Tiffin, Fleetwood, Itasca, Thor Motor Coach, Four Winds, Heartland, Evergreen RV, and Lifestyle Luxury RV. La Mesa RV is highly known for its incredible selection of late-model certified pre-owned motorhomes from top manufacturers such as Winnebago, Monaco, Fleetwood, Tiffin and others. All inventory can be view at the company's website, www.lamesarv.com.

La Mesa RV is uniquely situated to move inventory and personnel to markets of greatest activity. During the winter months, the Arizona and Florida stores have additional personnel and inventory added to accommodate the influx of winter visitors from northern states and Canada. During the summer, some of these same personnel can be found working in California stores.

La Mesa RV acquired a property known as the Silver Buckle or Four Corners in the desert community of Quartzsite, Arizona. This community blossoms with activity and visitors each winter as consumers look for rocks, gems and RV bargains. Quartzsite grows from a population of around 1,200 people year-round to over 250,000 during January. Most of the visitors are camping in RVs in Bureau of Land Management areas. La Mesa RV has the “welcome” mat out at the Quartzsite location, serving breakfast and lunch, often seeing hundreds of people taking advantage of the free food daily.

La Mesa RV services what it sells at several modern RV designed service centers that are staffed with highly trained RVIA/RVDA certified and master certified service technicians and service advisors.

Community Involvement
La Mesa RV employees are actively involved in their local communities raising money or supplies for a variety of charitable organizations and schools.

On October 31, 2003, La Mesa partnered with several San Diego-area campgrounds that were providing sites for the RVs while they are being used by fire victims. The participating campgrounds are: Campland On The Bay; De Anza Harbor Resort and Chula Vista RV Resort.

On November 5, 2003, La Mesa RV partnered with the Thousand Trails RV campground and resort in Riverside, Calif., to help victims of the wildfires in the San Bernardino area.
