Hilltop Camper & RV, a family-owned RV dealership in Minnesota with a 75-year legacy, has implemented internal adjustments to service scheduling and parts coordination across its four locations in Alexandria, Brainerd, Rochester, and Fridley (Twin Cities). The update, announced on April 27, 2026, affects how RV service and parts in Minnesota are scheduled and routed between departments, particularly during seasonal maintenance periods when appointment volume increases.
The updated scheduling process impacts the operations of the RV repair shop network across the dealership system. Service appointments are now distributed based on system type and technician availability across locations. Service departments continue handling RV repair categories including electrical system diagnostics, water system maintenance and winterization, propane system inspection and appliance repair, roof inspections and leak detection, and slide-out and leveling system adjustments. With 49 service bays across its Minnesota locations, Hilltop Camper & RV can allocate service work based on capacity and technician assignment.
In addition to service updates, the company continues RV sales in Minnesota across all four dealership locations. Inventory includes travel trailers, fifth wheels, motorhomes, toy haulers, and compact RV units available for customers searching for an RV for sale in Minnesota. Selected units are moved into RV specials inventory based on incoming shipments and inventory balancing, including clearance and surplus units.
Hilltop Camper & RV operates as a multi-location RV dealership in Minnesota with facilities in Alexandria (5701 MN-29 South), Brainerd (7324 Novotny Road N), Rochester (1240 Lake Shady Ave S), and Fridley (Twin Cities, 7810 University Ave NE). Each location provides recreational vehicle sales, service intake, and parts access. The Brainerd location serves as a main contact point for scheduling and service inquiries, allowing RV dealers in Minnesota within the organization to coordinate inventory and service operations across all sites.
The dealership maintains a centralized parts system supporting RV parts in Minnesota, with the Fridley location serving as the primary parts inventory hub. The system includes OEM and special-order components for multiple RV categories. Parts inventory covers electrical system components, plumbing fittings, water system parts, appliance replacement parts, structural repair hardware, and camping accessories. If parts are unavailable at one location, orders are processed through supplier channels serving all Minnesota branches.
Certified RV technicians, including RVIA and RVDA-trained staff, continue handling diagnostics and repair services across all locations. Work assignments are distributed based on the technician's skill set and system category. Warranty processing is managed through internal coordination with manufacturers to handle approvals and repair authorization requests across service departments.
Founded in 1951 in Hilltop, Minnesota, by Roy Pearo, Hilltop Camper & RV approaches its 75-year milestone in 2026. The dealership's operations include service facilities with multiple bays and certified technicians handling repairs and maintenance across different RV systems, covering travel trailers, motorhomes, fifth wheels, and related categories. Key highlights include four Minnesota locations, certified RV technicians, parts distribution including the largest RV parts store in Minnesota at the Fridley location, and recognition with the Blue Ribbon Award from RV Business Magazine in 2025. The adjustments aim to enhance service efficiency and parts availability for customers across the state.
