We offer award-winning RV sales, and we are proud to have been the RVer’s Trusted Resource for over 50 years. ![ArtandFran\_scan2 crop.jpg](https://blog.campersinn.com/hs-fs/hubfs/ArtandFran_scan2%20crop.jpg?width=1024&name=ArtandFran_scan2%20crop.jpg) Our company [began in 1966](http://www.campersinn.com/about-us) after founders Art and Fran Hirsch had a poor experience at an RV dealership. After years of camping in a tent, the Hirsches saved up some money and decided to find something more comfortable. They gathered their three kids and headed to a local dealership. But when they arrived, the salespeople were more interested in playing cards than helping them find an RV. Art was furious. He was wearing clothes from his job as a mold maker, and he felt the salespeople judged him by his appearance. They left angry and empty-handed. On the way home, they decided they could do a better job themselves. They pooled all of the family’s savings and began selling RVs out of their front yard in Acton, Massachusetts.   Our company continued to grow over the next five decades, and we are now one of the largest retail outlets for RVs in the United States. We are still operated by the Hirsch family, and we remain dedicated to connecting families of all backgrounds with the RV lifestyle. **Incredible deals on your dream RV** **![photo15-1.jpg](https://blog.campersinn.com/hs-fs/hubfs/photo15-1.jpg?width=1024&name=photo15-1.jpg)** Campers Inn RV offers [incredible deals](http://www.campersinn.com/clearance-center) on RVs for every budget.
