Riding High

With state-of-the-art RVs and a fun and informative podcast, Giant Recreation World is helping customers embrace a new lifestyle.

At Giant Recreation World, it’s not just about the destination. The journey is an equally important part of the adventure.

A family-owned and–operated business since 1976, the company boasts three locations in Winter Garden, Ormond Beach and Palm Bay. Those decades of experience combined with a highly skilled team allow customers to rest assured that they’re dealing with industry experts, no matter which location they are visiting. And whether you’re in the market to rent or buy, you’ll be in good hands thanks to an extensive range of options to choose from, in both brand and class.

But, the experience at Giant Recreation World doesn’t end once you drive off in your new RV. In fact, it’s quite the opposite as you enter into this new lifestyle.

One of the biggest benefits of dealing with Giant Recreation World is that the company is fully transparent and there are never any hidden costs. Too often, a customer will head to a bigger dealer who appears to have better pricing only to find out the cost is significantly more when all is said and done. That’s because these bigger dealerships will add fees for delivery, cleaning and more. Ultimately, customers can wind up paying thousands more then original sticker price.

Also, at some RV dealerships, there is a limited selection of products. However, at Giant Recreation World, customers can expect to find a wide range of RV options to choose from, in both brand and class. In addition, the company also houses its own service department and offers a lifetime warranty.

It’s all part of the dedicated approach that has solidified Giant Recreation World’s reputation for excellence over the past four decades.

“We are a recreational dealership. We have RVs—the difference here is we are a destination dealership, meaning people will take a trip just to get to us,” CEO Larry McNamara says. “When customers come in, they get a really warm feeling. They feel like they’re part of the family.”

To help further connect to the recreational vehicle community, McNamara hosts RV Hour, a weekly podcast that launched in 2021 and has steadily grown with a strong YouTube viewership across its 124 episodes. Joined by Giant Recreation World’s Dwayne Adams (marketing manager) and Brandon Plummer (finance manager) as co-hosts, the trio discuss the latest trends in the industry and offer inside information to help customers gain an edge in what has become a very competitive market. More recently, the format of the show has been revamped to include live call-ins, reaction videos, rapid-fire Q&As and travel tips as well as fun, recurring comedic segments.

With its approachable, light and informative tone, the show connects with audiences on multiple levels, whether that is learning about the latest inventory and discounts available to informative budgeting and financing insight.

“Whether you are an avid traveler, a novice newcomer or just starting to dive into the RV community, you can learn a lot by tuning in. We cover a wide array of topics, tips, tricks and advice. The show packs a lot of punch in an hour,” McNamara says.

The show not only appeals to families in the Central Florida area, but it’s also relevant for road-trippers everywhere. In addition to YouTube, the podcast is widely available and featured on Apple Podcasts, Spotify and iHeartRadio.

For those considering the RV life, stopping in at one of Giant Recreation World’s three locations is the first step. The experienced sales team doesn’t pressure customers, but they will ensure they feel comfortable while introducing them to all the RV world has to offer.

It’s just further evidence of the company’s focus on making lasting connections.

“We often hear from our customers that the RV lifestyle is all about reconnecting with family and revisiting a time where wholesome fun is at the forefront of their agendas,” McNamara explains. “And as a local business, we are proud to help support families in creating those memories and build strong family values.”
