RV dealerships experienced a banner first seven months of the year selling highline fifth wheels, according to data collected through July from Statistical Surveys.

While overall fifth wheel sales improved 5 percent through July, units priced at $60,000 or greater retailed 92 percent ahead of last year’s tally. Among all fifth wheel sales, those 31 feet or longer increased 9 percent through July, while those under 31 feet long decreased by 4 percent.

SKOKIE, Ill. — Yesterday, Rand McNally introduced the RVND 7720, a new seven-inch RV GPS device with Wi-Fi connectivity allowing for real-time weather information and display, and new hardware with rugged casing, video input, and a brighter screen.

The new device – shipping now to stores, online retailers, and RV dealers and distributors – joins Rand McNally’s line of RVND GPS devices for RVers.

One of the new features of the RVND 7720 is Wi-Fi [...]

The firm, which operates in two buildings in North Liberty and has eight employees, had sales of $1.2 million last year, and owner Tom England expects to reach $2 million this year.

One of the North Liberty storefronts offers blades to homeowners and hobbyists and sharpening for chain saws, lawn mower blades and other cutting tools.

But Unique Tooling mostly supplies customers in the RV, aluminum-cutting, cabinet-making, marine and plastics industries in seven states as well as nearby towns including Elkhart, Shipshewana and Middlebury.

“We supply certain types of router bits and saw cutting items that they use in the RV market,” England says. “We diversified [...]
