Hilltop Camper & RV was named to RV Business's 2026 Top 50 Dealer list during its 75th year in business, a milestone that highlights the Minnesota dealership's longevity and its broad inventory of new and pre-owned recreational vehicles. The recognition comes as the company lists used campers for sale in Minnesota alongside new park models and other RVs across four locations.
For shoppers, the used market offers a lower-cost entry point into RV ownership, but the announcement emphasizes that comparing specifications is essential. Buyers can evaluate pre-owned travel trailers by length, weight, sleeping capacity, floorplan, and price. Current inventory includes compact trailers, family bunkhouses, and models with slide-outs or separate living areas. A Brainerd listing for a used 2013 Gulf Stream RV Innsbruck 279QBL Lite shows a length of 33 feet and a listed price of $8,799. A used 2014 Forest River RV Cherokee Grey Wolf 28BH is listed at 31 feet, 5,339 pounds, and $9,995, with a bunkhouse, one slide, a U-shaped dinette, and sleeping space for eight. Prices and availability may change as units sell.
Beyond the vehicle itself, the dealership stresses that ownership costs extend to parts, repairs, maintenance, and winterization over time. "Buying a used RV involves more than comparing asking prices; buyers should also consider access to parts, repairs, maintenance, and winterization over time," said Mr. Pearo, Owner of Hilltop Camper & RV. That perspective matters in Minnesota, where cold winters make seasonal storage and winterization relevant to RV ownership. The dealership offers winterization among its RV services, and owners can contact the dealership about service availability and requirements for their specific RV.
People researching used RV sales in MN can compare pre-owned travel trailers and motorhomes across the company's Minnesota locations. One listing on the company's RV specials page features a used 2016 Leisure Travel Unity U24MB motorhome at $89,995 against a list price of $135,649. The 25-foot diesel model is listed with one slide, sleeping capacity for two, and 57,597 miles. Advertised prices include a $350 documentation fee, while tax, title, and license costs are additional. Buyers should confirm final pricing and applicable inspection, preparation, and warranty terms for the specific unit.
For those planning seasonal campground use or extended stays at a permitted site, a Park model for sale in MN may provide more living space than a compact travel trailer. The company lists a new 2027 Elevation 5-122 park model in Brainerd at $89,995 against an MSRP of $189,434. The 39-foot model is listed to sleep six and includes a bunkhouse and kitchen island. Shoppers should check site dimensions, utility hookups, occupancy rules, and permission to place a park model or destination trailer at their campground.
Founded by Roy Pearo in 1951, Hilltop Camper & RV is a third-generation, family-owned Minnesota RV dealership. Its four locations serve Alexandria, Brainerd, Fridley, and Rochester/Oronoco, offering RV sales, financing, maintenance, repairs, winterization, mobile RV service, and parts. The company operates dozens of RV service bays and four parts stores, including what it identifies as Minnesota's largest RV parts store, and received RV Business Magazine's Blue Ribbon Award in 2025 for customer service and community involvement. The Top 50 Dealer honor and 75-year milestone signal stability in a market where buyers increasingly weigh long-term service support alongside purchase price.
