In 1993 Norm and Kim Snider wanted a different RV. They owned a 1991 Jamboree 26' Class C and wanted a Class A. Unfortunately, they were "upside down." So, they decided to place their RV in a consignment rental program to generate extra revenue to right the situation. However, after evaluating the available companies to help them, they concluded, "We can do that!"

After months of preparation, the first ad was placed in the San Diego Union, offering their Jamboree for rent. Kim regularly recounts Norm's concerns of whether or not people would actually rent an RV. Needless to say, people do.

With one RV parked in the driveway it became Norm and Kim's goal to offer the cleanest, best maintained RVs available on the rental market. To this day Norm's RV continues to keep this goal clearly in sight.

Once the fleet grew to five RVs the operation was moved from Norm and Kim's driveway to a local RV storage facility in Rancho Bernardo. The neighbors were no doubt happy to see that change. By 1996 the fleet had grown to twelve units and Norm's RV moved to its current location on Poway Road. By that time, several of the other consignment rental operations in the San Diego area had closed up shop.

With the sudden increase in drive by traffic afforded by the move to Poway Rd., Norm's RV's rental fleet grew to roughly fifty consignment rental units. This number was bolstered by a glowing article in Motorhome Magazine that sang the praises of both our rental customers and our consignment owners. We had proven that a rental RV didn't have to be a dirty, abused, worn out vehicle that had to be sanitized by the customer before they could use it.

While the rental operation blossomed, Norm and Kim decided in 1997 to begin offering pre-owned RVs. With a talented crew of technicians and detailing personnel, Norm's RV quickly became known for the condition and quality of the select pre-owned RVs they offered.

In 2002, after a year of serious deliberation, Norm's RV became Southern California's exclusive Titanium dealer. This was a decision that wasn't taken lightly, but has proved to be a great addition to the quality offerings already available at Norm's RV.

With the addition of the Titanium product line the service demands became such that the seams were bursting at the Poway Road location. So, in the spring of 2004 Norm's RV expanded to a second location in the South Poway Industrial Park. Both the Rental and Service departments were moved to the new store. Plus, the Parts department was significantly expanded. This left considerable space at the Poway Road location to expand the Sales department.

In 2005 Norm's RV was invited to be San Diego's Route 66 RV Network dealer. As an invitation only network covering forty-five states with over a twelve hundred service bays nationwide, joining the Network made Norm's RV part of the largest network of dealers in the nation, which gives our customers tremendous support as they travel about the country.

Today, as it has been from the beginning, Norm and Kim continue to focus on offering the newest, cleanest, best equipped, most thoroughly maintained rental RVs. Also, Norm's RV offers certified pre-owned RVs and the nicest towing fifth wheel on the market. All of this is accomplished due to the dedicated staff who make it happen.
