Marketing, websites and offroad lead generation built for powersports and RV dealers.
Powersports and RV dealers sell on the calendar.
Riding season opens in spring, hunting UTVs move in the fall, camper shoppers start researching in winter, and every month the floorplan clock keeps ticking on units that have not sold. We build websites that list your inventory well, run campaigns that follow the season and your OEM programs, and route every lead to a salesperson with the unit, trade and financing interest attached. Parts, service and accessories get their own program, because P&A margin carries the store between unit sales. Finance offers carry Regulation Z disclosures, advertised prices follow your state rules on freight and setup, and co-op claims are built to OEM standards.

Where growth is won or lost in powersports and rv.
Powersports and RV buyers are enthusiasts, and they research for weeks. A hunter compares side-by-sides from Polaris, Can-Am, Honda and Yamaha all summer, then buys in September. A family studies floor plans from Forest River, Thor and Winnebago through the winter and wants the camper by spring break. Most of them trade something in, most of them finance, and most of them will spend real money on accessories if someone asks at the right moment.
The store runs on floorplan. Every unit on the lot costs interest until it sells, and last year's models get harder to move once the new model year lands. OEM programs, rebates and promotional financing change constantly, and co-op money only pays if ads follow brand rules. Meanwhile parts, service and accessories quietly produce much of the margin. Prior vendors sold template websites, ran the same ads all year, and let Cycle Trader and RV Trader become the whole lead strategy.
Theory Road builds the calendar first: riding season, fall hunting, boat launch, camper research, and your aged units by category. Then we rebuild the website around inventory and use cases, route every lead with the unit and trade attached, and track sales, parts and service calls separately. Campaigns follow the season and the floorplan, marketplaces are judged by sold units, and owner programs grow accessory and service revenue after delivery.
The problems we fix in powersports and rv dealers.
Floorplan units aging out
Last year's side-by-sides and travel trailers sit on floorplan while ad spend goes to whatever the OEM promotion calendar says. Nobody connects inventory age to the budget until curtailment payments start hurting.
A template website that sells nothing
The OEM-approved template site loads slowly, buries inventory under brand banners, and treats a UTV shopper and a camper shopper the same. Leads arrive with no unit, no trade details and no source.
Marketplace leads shared with every dealer
Cycle Trader, ATV Trader and RV Trader leads cost more each season, and the same shopper is sending identical inquiries to three dealers across the state before your salesperson calls back.
P&A and service left unmarketed
Parts, accessories and service carry the margin, yet they get almost no marketing. Buyers leave with a new machine and never hear about upgrades, winterization or their first service again.

What we run the account by
Cost per unit sold.
Total marketing and marketplace spend divided by units delivered from those sources, using DMS deal data.
Aged inventory turn.
Units over your aging threshold sold each month, tracked against the budget pushed toward them.
Lead response time.
Minutes from lead arrival to first real contact by a salesperson, during and after store hours.
P&A revenue per unit sold.
Parts and accessories revenue attached to each unit delivered, including sales from post-delivery owner campaigns.
Service bookings from marketing.
Service and storage appointments created by retention campaigns, service search and online booking each month.
Rules we respect
Regulation Z in finance ads.
Stating a payment amount, down payment or number of payments triggers required credit disclosures including APR, so every promotional financing ad carries them.
Advertised price and fees.
Many states require advertised prices to include charges like freight and setup, excluding taxes and government fees. Rules vary by state; we build to the strictest that applies.
OEM co-op and MAP rules.
Manufacturer brand guidelines, minimum advertised price policies and co-op documentation are followed, or reimbursement is denied and dealer agreements can be put at risk.
Safety in ride imagery.
Creative shows helmets and protective gear, no passengers on machines not designed for them, and no reckless riding, in line with OEM and industry safety guidance.
The powersports and rv playbook.
Map the season and the floorplan.
We review inventory age, floorplan exposure, OEM program dates and last year's sales by month, then build a calendar that moves the right units before curtailment and model year change.
Fix the site and lead flow.
Inventory pages, category landing pages and trade and finance forms get rebuilt, and every lead source is routed with unit details, tracked by department and matched to DMS deals.
Launch seasonal and offroad campaigns.
Search, Meta, video and marketplace campaigns go live on your inventory, weighted toward aged units and in-season categories, with co-op compliant creative and complete finance disclosures.
Grow P&A and service, then tune.
Owner programs for accessories, service and storage go live, and we review cost per sold unit, P&A revenue and service bookings with your managers every week.

Hiring an agency for a powersports and rv business.
- Who should run marketing for my powersports dealership?
- A team that plans around the riding and camping seasons, works from your inventory and floorplan, and measures sold units and P&A revenue from your DMS. That means a fast inventory website, seasonal paid media, marketplace oversight, lead routing and owner retention, all compliant with OEM co-op and finance ad rules. We run that full program for powersports, marine and RV dealers.
- Are you a powersports website design company?
- Yes. We design and build dealer websites around inventory, category landing pages, trade and finance tools, and parts and service booking. We can build a custom site or improve an existing platform such as Dealer Spike, keeping inventory feeds and lead delivery to your DMS intact, and we preserve existing URLs so search rankings carry over.
- What does offroad lead generation look like for a dealer?
- Campaigns aimed at riders by use: trail riding, hunting, ranch and farm work, overlanding and family recreation. Each audience lands on a category page for the machines that fit, and the lead reaches a salesperson with the unit, use case, trade and timeline attached. Budgets rise ahead of spring riding and fall hunting seasons.
- Should we keep paying for Cycle Trader and RV Trader?
- Usually yes, but judged by sold units. Marketplaces reach shoppers actively comparing units, so we track each listing's leads through to DMS deals, keep the categories that sell, and trim the ones that only produce tire kickers. At the same time we grow your own site traffic so marketplaces become one channel rather than the only one.
- How do you handle freight and setup fees in advertised prices?
- Carefully, because rules vary by state and by OEM. Many states require advertised prices to include charges the buyer must pay other than taxes and government fees, which can include freight, prep and setup. We follow the strictest rule that applies to your store and your OEM pricing policies, and clearly state what an advertised price includes.
