“We’re thrilled to bring Gene on board at Lazydays, and we look forward to his success here,” said Lazydays Vice President and General Manager Ron Fleming. “This is especially exciting because it represents an expansion of the sales management team here. Gene’s hiring is aligned with our growth strategy, as well as our efforts to increase our growing market share.”
Taylor comes to Lazydays with a variety of experiences and skills. Taylor was General Manager of the Camping World site in Byron, Georgia for two years before assuming the post of General Manager at Camping World in Panama City, Florida. Prior to joining the RV business, Taylor spent 20 years in construction management.
“The sales team at Lazydays has a well-deserved reputation as the best in the business,” Taylor said. “It’s an honor to join the team.”
Taylor will work from the expansive Tampa location of Lazydays, the largest single-site RV dealership in the world. Lazydays is experiencing broad sales growth amid a series of outreach initiatives, including new partnerships to host tailgating lots with the University of Florida Gators and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Just this month, Lazydays announced the expansion of its product selection to include a wide range of trailers produced by Featherlite, the leader in towable trailers for both the auto and equestrian markets. The Travel Channel feature show “Big Time RV” now highlights a range of customers touring Lazydays dealerships in Florida and Arizona to choose just the right RV for their needs. This summer, Lazydays announced the acquisition of RV America, a transaction that includes three RV dealerships in the Denver, Colorado area.
