AUGUSTA, KS
54 Auto and RV started as a small car dealership over 20 years
ago.  Today, 54 Auto and RV is a strong, growing RV dealership
in the Wichita area.  Dave Pirtle, owner of 54 Auto and RV,
bought seven trailers just to see what kind of business they might
bring.  When those seven sold in a short time Dave decided to
sell the remaining cars and start a RV dealership.  Over the years
54 Auto and RV has grown with a new  3,000 s.f. office/parts
facility in 2000 and a 5,000 s.f., 5 bay service facility in 2003.  
They are planning to build a new 5,000 s.f. covered building to
house new and used units. Steadily increasing inventory and
giving customers superior service over the years has made 54
Auto and RV one of Wichita's longest standing dealers in the
area. 54 Auto and RV has had the same ownership and location
longer than any other dealer in Wichita.  Jarod, Dave's son,
general manager of the dealership has worked there since he
was 10 years old. Starting out washing and detailing trailers,
Jarod knows every aspect of the RV business.  Jarod can help
customers with parts, service, sales and financing.
