DELAVAN, WI (January 23, 2024) – In a bold move that challenges traditional norms in the RV industry, Kunes Auto & RV Group, a prominent automotive dealership with over 40 locations across the Midwest, is set to revolutionize the RV ownership experience with its groundbreaking Camp Critical Program. Spearheaded by Ron Baker, the new head of the RV division, this innovative initiative not only addresses common industry challenges but positions Kunes as a disruptive force in the traditionally conservative world of recreational vehicles.

Kunes RV's Camp Critical Program introduces three groundbreaking initiatives for 2024, each designed to redefine customer service standards and disrupt the status quo.

Kunes Auto & RV Group's revolutionary "No Drop" Express RV Service is a bold departure from the time-consuming practices that have defined traditional RV service. This groundbreaking initiative is designed to alleviate the inconvenience and frustrations that RV owners often face when their vehicles require maintenance. Unlike conventional methods where trailers are disconnected from the towing vehicle, the "No Drop" service allows for on-site repairs without the need to unhitch.

In essence, Kunes is redefining the rules of RV maintenance by challenging the status quo. This innovative approach is a game-changer for RV enthusiasts who, in the past, had to endure the cumbersome process of unhitching their trailers, leading to extended service times and disrupting their travel plans. With Kunes' mobile vans equipped for on-site repairs, the entire service experience becomes more efficient, minimizing downtime and maximizing the time owners can spend enjoying their RV adventures.

The traditional model of RV maintenance often involves transporting the vehicle to a service center, leaving owners without their cherished RVs for extended periods. Kunes RV recognizes that time is of the essence for avid travelers, and the "No Drop" Express RV Service aligns with their commitment to providing a service experience that is both swift and hassle-free. By offering the convenience of on-site repairs while the trailer is still attached to the towing vehicle, Kunes is setting a new standard for customer-centric service in the RV industry.

This forward-thinking initiative not only saves time but also enhances the overall customer experience. RV owners can now seamlessly continue their camping experience with minimal interruption, knowing that their maintenance needs are being addressed promptly and efficiently. Kunes Auto & RV Group's commitment to disrupting the conventional approach to RV maintenance through the "No Drop" Express RV Service demonstrates a dedication to putting the customer's convenience at the forefront of the RV ownership journey. With this innovative service, Kunes is not just servicing RVs; they are transforming the way owners experience and enjoy their recreational vehicles.

In an industry notorious for prolonged repair times due to the bureaucratic hurdle of waiting for manufacturer approval, Kunes RV boldly takes a disruptive stance with its unwavering commitment to addressing warranty issues upfront. This strategic approach not only aims to reduce downtime for RV owners but also challenges the conventional practice of attributing delays to external factors beyond the dealership's control.

The traditional model in the RV industry often involves a lengthy process of obtaining manufacturer approval before initiating warranty repairs. This bureaucratic step, while intended to ensure adherence to warranty terms, can inadvertently inconvenience customers who are left waiting for extended periods. Kunes RV recognizes the frustration and inconvenience this can cause and, in response, proactively addresses warranty issues without the need for prolonged approval processes.

By choosing to take responsibility for warranty repairs upfront, Kunes RV transforms the customer experience. This disruptive stance goes against the norm, where dealerships may pass the blame onto external entities such as manufacturers or industry challenges. Kunes RV challenges this narrative by acknowledging that, at its core, providing excellent customer service requires taking proactive measures and not relying on external factors as excuses.

The commitment to addressing warranty issues upfront aligns with Kunes Auto & RV Group's overarching philosophy of proactive customer care. This approach not only showcases a dedication to customer satisfaction but also builds trust and confidence among RV owners. Customers may now experience faster turnaround times for warranty repairs, minimizing the inconvenience and disruption to their RV adventures.
