Mountaineer RV & Outdoor Center, LLC is West Virginia’s newest RV Dealership. It is expanding to be the largest RV Dealership in the state, moving to its new location right along I-79, near Exit 105 in Jane Lew, by the summer of 2021.
Mountaineer RV sprung up just two and a half years ago from a passion and pursuit of adventure; Joe and Gina Starett, along with their two children, have come to love. Their desire to share their love for the RV lifestyle with everyone around them has turned into a successful business venture as they roll out the Mountaineer RV difference to all their customers, near and far.
Mountaineer RV currently houses sales, financing, parts and accessories, service and collision at their current location in Weston.
As they prepare for the new move to their I-79 parallel home, the reality of the goal of becoming WV’s largest RV Dealership is near on the horizon. This new location will bring the most oversized sales lot, most extensive parts store and selection and the largest service center in the Mountain State.
As they see their clientele grow beyond WV and all over the East Coast, Mountaineer RV invites you to experience the Mountaineer RV difference and become a part of our growing Mountaineer RV family!
