Colerain RV Alternative | Truly Factory Direct vs. Multi-State Corporate
For decades, Colerain RV was a well-known name across Ohio, Indiana, and Kentucky. Today, as part of the massive Blue Compass RV corporate family, they have more locations than ever—but more locations often mean higher corporate overhead and "Big Box" pricing.
While Colerain/Blue Compass has expanded into a multi-state network, Wana RV has stayed right where the trailers are built. By staying small and staying local to the factories, we offer a level of transparency and savings that the corporate giants simply can't match.

Why Wana RV is the Smarter Choice for Midwest Buyers
1. The Corporate "Overhead" Gap
When you buy from a dealer with dozens of locations like Blue Compass/Colerain, a portion of every dollar you spend goes toward supporting a massive corporate infrastructure, regional managers, and expensive multi-state advertising campaigns. At Wana RV, we are a single-location, family-owned shop. We keep our overhead to a minimum so we can keep your price as low as possible.
2. True $0 Freight Savings
Colerain has lots in Cincinnati, Columbus, Dayton, and Indianapolis. Even their Indianapolis location has to pay to have units hauled from the northern Indiana factories. Because Wana RV is located in Shipshewana—the epicenter of RV manufacturing—our freight cost is zero. We don't have to "hide" shipping fees in our prices because we don't have them.
3. Specialized Brand Knowledge
Colerain carries a massive breadth of brands, from motorhomes to pop-ups. At Wana RV, we choose to specialize. By focusing deeply on brands like Forest River Rockwood, Palomino Puma, and Keystone, we know our products inside and out. You aren't just talking to a salesperson hitting a quota; you’re talking to experts who live and breathe these specific units.
4. No "Big Box" Sales Tactics
The bigger the dealership, the more "layers" you have to go through. From high-pressure finance offices to aggressive add-on pitches, the corporate experience can be exhausting. Wana RV offers a straightforward, "No Games" buying process. We provide our best price upfront, with no hidden prep fees or surprise charges at closing.
