About Us

George Dodd, Founder (Retired)

Our Humble Beginnings

In 1956, a gallon of gas was only 19.9 cents when George Dodd took over the Texaco station that would form the beginnings of the family business. George had a gift for dealing with people, and customers just naturally sensed that this was a man they could trust. He worked hard to build a reputation for honesty and fairness as he expanded into used car sales and eventually RVs.

In January 2001, George's children, Jamie Dodd, Jennifer Moore and Susie Dodd, assumed the business operation at Dodd RV & Marine. In June of 2004, they expanded the family business by opening a second location in Newport News, VA. Building upon the lessons they learned from their father, Jamie, Jennifer, Susie and the Dodd RV & Marine Team are working hard to make Dodd RV & Marine the preferred RV dealer in Southeastern Virginia and Northeastern Carolina. The Marine store opened in 2022.

We've created a reality that benefits YOU, our customer. At Dodd RV & Marine, we provide you with an exceptional experience! You won't find high pressure sales tactics here. And because we really care about helping people, you get the best service with lots of smiles... NO EXCUSES!

In this day and age, most of us prefer to deal with someone we can trust. We're nice, honest folks who love our work. We know RVs like no one else, and we know you: "the experienced RV enthusiast" or "the newcomer." You may already know how we do business, either first hand or from a friend's recommendations. Our reputation, spanning more than 50 years, has been built on one thing... TRUST! Come in and visit us and check out our large selection of Forest River, Grand Design, Keystone, Thor Motor Coach RVs as well as our huge selection of Boats! We also have a large selection of used RVs. If you are looking for a certain used RV, let us know and we will try to get it for you!
