We’re honored. We’re grateful. And yes — we’re still a little speechless.
This year, Gib’s RV Superstore has been named one of RVBusiness Magazine’s 2025 Top 50 RV Dealers in North America — for the seventh time. That alone is something we never take for granted. But this year brought something even more extraordinary:
We’ve been selected as a Blue Ribbon Dealer, a distinction awarded to just five dealerships across the U.S. and Canada. It's one of the highest honors our industry offers — and for a locally owned dealership on the Oregon Coast, it’s a big deal.
What is a Blue Ribbon Dealer?
Each year, RVBusiness honors the Top 50 Dealers in North America based on customer care, training, community involvement, innovation, and overall dealership operations. After those 50 are selected, a panel of industry judges identifies five dealers who stand out above the rest.
To be recognized not just among the best — but as one of the very best — is deeply humbling. It’s a reflection of the heart we pour into every walk-through, every service appointment, every off-site event, every nonprofit partnership, and every decision we make as a team.
“This award reflects more than just business performance — it’s about the way we show up for our customers and our community. Being named a Blue Ribbon Dealer is one of the highest honors in our industry, and I’m incredibly proud of the team we’ve built and the values we stand for.”
— Lisa Larkin, Owner & General Manager
Our Values Are the Foundation
At Gib’s RV, our work is guided by five core values: Community, Integrity, Balance, Safety, and Solutions-Based Thinking.
These aren’t just words on a wall. They’re the compass behind every part of our business — from the way we train our staff to how we treat customers, solve problems, and serve our hometown of Coos Bay and the surrounding region.
Community is at the Heart of Everything We Do
Our customers know we care about RVs. But more importantly, they know we care about people.
At Gib’s RV, community involvement isn’t an afterthought — it’s part of our identity. Whether we’re donating life-saving defibrillators to protect wildland firefighters, raising funds for local child advocacy, or sponsoring events at the Coos County Fair & Rodeo, we show up because it’s the right thing to do. We’ve helped provide warm clothing and hygiene supplies for families in crisis, gifted RV rentals for local fundraisers, and stepped in to fund accessible transportation for holiday light displays so everyone can take part in local traditions. We’ve supported athletic programs, 4H auctions, first responder trainings, food banks, and educational events — and we’ve been proud to stand alongside our local K9 organizations as they serve and protect our communities. These aren’t PR moves — they’re personal commitments. They’re part of how we give back to the community that has given so much to us.
“What sets Gib’s apart is not just their commitment to their customers, but their deep investment in the people and organizations around them… They’re not just a business in Coos Bay—they’re a valued partner and community leader.”
— Casey McCord, Athletic Director, Marshfield High School
Excellence That Extends Beyond Sales
Our Blue Ribbon award isn’t just about community involvement — it’s about how we do business.
From service to parts to delivery to follow-up, we pride ourselves on doing things right — even when it’s hard. And that effort doesn’t go unnoticed by our industry partners.
“Gib’s RV consistently demonstrates a proactive, customer-first mindset... I’ve never received a complaint or escalation related to this dealership — a rare and noteworthy track record in this industry.”
— Jon Jackson, Grand Design RV“You truly go above and beyond to assist our mutual customers.”
— Ryan Stratton, Forest River“They act with integrity and make the RV industry better at every level.”
— Markus Alexander, Forest River“Gib’s RV has proven to be a model customer and has set expectations for other RV dealers under the HDF umbrella to follow.”
— Marcus Palmer, Huntington Distribution Finance
A Legacy of Recognition
While we’re excited to add the Blue Ribbon to our shelf, it joins a growing list of meaningful recognition. In 2023, we were honored with the Arthur J. Decio Humanitarian Award, recognizing our longstanding community impact and charitable giving. We’ve also been named Favorite RV Dealer and Favorite Repair Facility by our customers in local Readers’ Choice and Toast of the Coast awards — not just once, but time and time again. And last year, we were proud recipients of the Motility Trailblazer Award for innovation in dealership operations and customer service.
These aren’t just trophies — they’re affirmations that putting people first works. That doing the right thing makes a difference. That being deeply rooted in our community matters.
Thank You, Coos Bay
From our family to yours — thank you.
To our team, who makes this recognition possible through the work they do every day.
To our customers, who trust us with their adventures.
To our community, who supports us year after year.
And to the manufacturers and partners who lift us up — thank you for believing in us.
We’re honored to represent Coos Bay on a national stage, and we’re even more excited about the future we’re building — together.
We’ll be heading to Las Vegas this November to accept the award in person at the RVDA Convention, but in our hearts, this win belongs to every person who has walked through our doors, partnered with our team, or stood beside us in our community work.
Here’s to 7 Top 50 wins… and one unforgettable Blue Ribbon.
