About General RV

General RV was founded when Abe Baidas converted a Detroit gas station into a small RV sales and manufacturing facility in 1962. From those humble roots, we’ve grown into the nation’s premier RV dealer. We’ve helped millions of families experience the RV lifestyle. With the support of our talented employees, General RV now operates multiple Supercenters across the country in addition to an inspection facility in Indiana. We are proud of our history and are now in the third generation of family ownership. Since 2014, General RV Center has been named by Crain's Detroit as one of Michigan's largest and fastest-growing privately held companies.
