Hilltop Camper & RV is marking its 75th anniversary in 2026 by highlighting its current inventory of Class C motorhomes for sale in MN and other recreational vehicles across its four Minnesota locations. The dealership, which operates in Alexandria, Brainerd, Fridley, and Rochester, is positioning itself for the fall camping season with a mix of new and used units, including selected remaining 2026 models offered through current RV specials. The timing matters because RV shoppers in the region are actively comparing options before cooler weather sets in, and Hilltop's broad inventory gives them a single source to evaluate multiple categories.
The update comes as the company celebrates a significant milestone. Founded by Roy Pearo in 1951 in Hilltop, Minnesota, the business has grown into a third-generation, family-owned operation with four locations, dozens of service bays, and four RV parts stores. In 2025, it received the Blue Ribbon Award from RV Business Magazine, recognizing it among the top five RV dealerships in North America for customer service and community involvement. That recognition, combined with the anniversary, underscores the dealership's staying power in a competitive market.
Shoppers searching for hilltop campers in Rochester, MN can review recreational vehicles at the Rochester location in Oronoco, which lists motorhomes, towable RVs, and folding campers. Current inventory includes a used 1993 Starcraft Starlite STARFLYER folding pop-up camper in Rochester and a used 2015 Starcraft Comet Hardside H1232SB in Brainerd, though the latter is marked sale pending. The online inventory search allows comparisons by location, type, and listing details, with model year, exterior length, weight, sleeping capacity, and floorplan helping narrow choices.
For those considering Class C motorhomes, Hilltop lists a 2027 Jayco Redhawk SE 22CF at about 25 feet, sleeping four with one slide, powered by a 7.3-liter V8 engine rated at 325 horsepower. A larger 2027 Jayco Greyhawk 29MV measures 32 feet, sleeps six, and has two slides. These specifications give shoppers concrete points for comparing layouts, towing needs, and campsite limitations. "RV shoppers are paying close attention to how a camper fits their travel plans, including sleeping space, towing needs, vehicle size, and interior layout," said Mike Pearo, Owner of Hilltop Camper & RV. "With different RV types and floorplans available across Minnesota, comparing these practical details can help shoppers identify a recreational vehicle that fits weekend travel, family camping, or longer road trips."
Fall travel in Minnesota brings shorter daylight hours and cooler overnight temperatures, making heating systems, sleeping arrangements, and storage capacity important considerations. Motorhomes combine driving and living spaces, while towable campers require a compatible tow vehicle. Hilltop's advertised special prices carry no extra dealer fees, though taxes, title/registration, and other costs remain separate. For shoppers researching older models, such as a 2000 StarCraft pop-up camper, the current online inventory does not list that specific model, but the 1993 Starlite STARFLYER provides a comparable example of an older folding camper.
The broader implication is that Minnesota's RV market remains active heading into the shoulder season, with dealerships like Hilltop using inventory updates and anniversary messaging to attract buyers who may be planning next year's trips or seeking end-of-season deals. With multiple locations and a deep service network, Hilltop is well positioned to serve both first-time buyers and experienced campers across the state.
