250 251 GIANT RECREATIONWORLD STILL ON TOP G iant Recreation World is a family-owned and operated RV dealership that was founded in 1976, by Don McNamara, who built the dealership into one of the strongest operations in the state of Florida. The company has a huge selection of new and used Class A, B, and C motorhomes, travel trailers, toy haulers, fifth wheels, truck campers, and folding campers from brands like Forest River, Holiday Rambler, Keystone, Newmar, Dutchmen, Jayco, Fleetwood, Gulf Stream, and Tiffin. In addition to RV sales, the dealership offers RV financing, expert service with RIVA-certified master technicians, RV parts and accessories, and RV rentals of current year models. Giant Recreation World’s original location was in the city of Winter Garden, and, over time, Mc- Namara added two more locations –one in Or- mond Beach and another in Melbourne. Recently, both locations were relocated to a 14-acre plot in Daytona Beach and 25-acre property in Palm Bay, allowing the company to significantly expand its footprint. The Winter Garden facility also added eight acres by acquiring a closed RV dealership next door that included frontage on Florida Route 50 so that Giant Recreation World now operates more than 14 acres of sales and service in Winter Garden, with additional service bays, a collision center, and spray-on bed lining and roof recovery systems.
