Traveling with an RV opens a world of endless possibilities — the freedom to wander, the comfort of taking home with you, the chance to commune with nature and an opportunity to make new connections…experiences that will last a lifetime.

One doesn’t just wake up one morning and say, “I want to be an RV dealer.” Michael Moutzalias, owner of East Coast Campers and More in Frankford, made that decision seven years ago, but not without a lot of preparation.

A Sussex County native, Moutzalias enjoyed many camping trips with his family while growing up, particularly in the mountains of Virginia and West Virginia. He developed a great love of nature and a sense of what people want and need while enjoying the great outdoors.

He had a knack for selling, too, and worked in real estate sales, car sales and new home sales before launching a business of selling homes on wheels. He and his wife Jennifer built the company completely from scratch. He acknowledges, however, “a lot of people have been very helpful in building what we have.”

East Coast Campers and More specializes in towable RVs — new and used campers. The company also sells some of the best state-of-the-art travel trailers from Crossroads RV and Keystone RV, top-of-the-line fifth wheels, destination trailers and customizable Park models that measure up to 37 feet in length. The Great Outdoor Cottages park model RVS are built right in Georgetown.

Utility trailers include equipment haulers from CAM Superline, Look cargo trailers and cargo and dump trailers from NexHaul Trailer Company.

East Coast Campers also offers a wide variety of Amish-built outdoor structures from barns to storage sheds to pergolas and gazebos. Keep your animals safe and happy with horse barns, dog kennels, chicken coops and rabbit hutches. You can help design your structure, choosing doors, windows and shutters, materials and colors and all the accessories that will make your building uniquely yours.

Their team of experts also can take care of moving or removing any of the above for you. If you are looking for shed movers or need to relocate your camper or park model, call 302-604-0640. 

“We move campers, fifth wheels and Park models anywhere in the U.S.A. We have experience relocating and setting up any and all models. Whether you purchase from us or someone else we make it easy and hassle-free for you,” Moutzalias said. 

“We don’t just want to sell you a camper,” he continued. “We want to sell you a camper and provide you with the services you need…before, during and long after the sale. Our client commitment is what makes our customer service team better, and a big part of what sets us apart from other RV dealerships in the region. Our experienced team of Mobile RV Medics provides the highest quality of services and repairs that can be found anywhere on the Delmarva Peninsula and beyond.”

The experienced folks at East Coast Campers and More take the time to welcome every buyer, whether it’s your first time doing business with them or your fifth. No matter what sort of RV you are looking for, they will help you select the perfect camper to meet your needs and budget. Their friendly team will always take the time to understand you and properly address all of your questions, concerns and related needs.

They ensure your camper is in excellent working order after it is delivered to the dealership and before confirming your sale.

After you purchase your RV, the team will go over every detail of your new camper with you, taking as much time as you feel is necessary to familiarize you with all of the features and components.

The company’s professional RV service technicians can set, level and tie your camper. 

“Whether your adventurous ride of choice is a camper, a travel trailer, or a park model, we have the tact, the tools and the certified technicians to take care of your RV service needs,” Moutzalias said.

Customer service like theirs is one reason East Coast Campers and More was a finalist in the Best RV Dealer in Southern Delaware category in the 2023 First State Favorites Official Community Choice Awards.

East Coast Campers and More is a family-run business, with 20 employees and help from the couple’s three children: Demetreus, 16; Talia, 14, and Nicco, 12.

The family has additional enterprises that help keep the kids busy: Sea Level Designs, Ocean Air Produce, Seabreeze Produce Market, Ocean Breeze Produce Market and East Coast Family Foods (a Dietz and Watson franchise).

Now is the time to find your perfect RV or camper. At East Coast Campers and More, the main goal is to help every client experience the great outdoors without sacrificing any of the comforts they enjoy at home. Moutzalias said, “Let our family help your family enjoy the great outdoors!”
