Big Country RV , owned by Gary and Kay Craven, has been named as one of RV Business Magazine’s “Top 50” dealers for 2010. The top dealers were selected by an independent panel of industry experts to comprise an annual list of both U.S. and Canadian RV dealers and North American park model dealers. Members of the top 50 have businesses that are unsurpassed in overall business operations, customer service, professionalism and charitable contributions. The Cravens purchased Big Country RV in 1997, then based in Redmond, and soon afterward expanded operations to include a location in Bend. The Bend location features the only indoor RV showroom in Central Oregon.
