>As park hosts at Memory Lake Campground in Grantsburg, Dave and Diane Engstrand park their RV in the prime spot for the summer and enjoy all of the benefits. The same is true for Pat Busch and Richard Groves at the Crooked Lake Park in Siren.

They are two sets of the many working campers that serve as hosts at campgrounds throughout the United States and Canada.

>It was just over six months ago when Fresno businessman Dan Gamel returned to the helm of the corporation that carries his name and the company’s six RV sales and service centers that he had sold off in 2005. Today Gamel announced that he will begin liquidating the inventory of all recreational vehicles in his remaining RV dealerships and he will close the doors for good once the inventory is sold off.

Gamel’s current locations are in Bakersfield, Modesto, Rocklin, Anderson, and two locations in Fresno: his original RV sales center on Central Avenue and the flagship Camp America store that he opened in a former Super K-Mart on Shaw Avenue in 2004.

Gamel has been a pioneer in the RV industry. At the age of 27, he was the youngest person to serve as President of the California RV Dealers Association and delegate to the national association from 1977 to 1981. In the nineties, Gamel was the first dealer to sell RVs on the internet, and in 2007 his Project 4 software and central desk system made it possible for his team to sell RVs from anywhere there’s an internet connection, even at campgrounds.

We do not have the funds available to bring the current system up to code, so Greer residents came up with an innovative solution that enables the campground to open this summer.

“They actually purchased portable toilets to place in the campground and provided funds to help with the maintenance costs of these toilets,” Rivera added.
