Camping World Holdings screens as deeply undervalued with steep analyst-implied upside, but a quality score far below the engine's floor, a failed momentum gate with a hard death-cross block, elevated short interest, and a flagged dividend yield trap drive the engine's exit recommendation.

About Camping World Holdings, Inc.
About Camping World Holdings, Inc.
Camping World Holdings operated 196 RV dealership and service-center locations as of December 31, 2025 and generated $6.4 billion in total revenue for the year, with new-vehicle sales contributing 43.4% and used-vehicle sales 30.9%. The company's Good Sam brand runs a roughly 1.6 million-member paid loyalty club alongside RV protection plans, insurance, and roadside assistance, operating across two reportable segments: Good Sam Services and Plans, and RV and Outdoor Retail.
Camping World sources new RV inventory directly from manufacturers under location-by-location dealer agreements, with Thor Industries and Forest River supplying approximately 58.4% and 34.4% of new RV inventory, respectively, as of December 31, 2025. The company earns commission income by facilitating third-party financing on approximately 80.0% of new and 73.5% of used vehicle sales, and by selling manufacturer- and insurer-underwritten protection plans, while its roughly 2,800 RV service bays generate repair and maintenance revenue that helped push 2025 finance-and-insurance revenue to 10.0% of the total at essentially 100% gross margin. Because RV usage peaks in warmer months, the business is seasonal, with the second and third quarters together generating roughly 58% of annual revenue over the trailing three years.
Show full overview
Camping World's new-vehicle supply is concentrated in two manufacturers that together account for more than 90% of new RV inventory — Thor Industries at 58.4% and Forest River at 34.4% — so a disruption to either manufacturer's production or a change in dealer-agreement terms would directly constrain the new-vehicle sales that made up 43.4% of 2025 revenue. On April 7, 2026, the compensation committee approved amended employment agreements for CFO Thomas Kirn and Chief Administrative and Legal Officer Lindsey Christen extending their terms through March 2029, a retention-oriented governance update rather than an executive departure.
