Featured In RV News — August 2026
Seven years ago, Clear Creek RVs opened in Abilene, Texas with four employees and a small lot of RVs. Today, we're proud to be recognized statewide for the training-first culture that got us here.
Owner Jason Calkins started Clear Creek RVs on a 10-acre lot with a rolling inventory of about 30 units. Since then, the dealership has grown more than sevenfold in staff size and, this past May, posted its best monthly sales volume to date.
Calkins says that growth didn't happen by accident. Early on, he pursued formal dealership management training and joined a dealer peer group to benchmark performance against other stores, using those lessons to build sales and service reporting into the daily routine.
"if we never lost sight of making things a little better every day" — Jason Calkins, Owner
