About Longview RV

The business moved to a 5 acre site in Northampton, MA in 1984 and they moved again in 1993 to their current location in Windsor Locks, CT. In 2009, the Northampton site was sold and inventory was consolidated to the Windsor Locks location. Located adjacent to Bradley International Airport, Longview RV boasts a 5 acre RV sales display lot, a huge RV parts and accessories store, and a busy RV service department. Longview RV is a family owned business about to enter into its third generation. Fran’s son Frank Roberts is now in charge of the business with over 30 years of experience and Frank’s daughter Lexi is set to graduate from college in 2024 and complete her MBA in 2025. Once Lexi is finished with her education, she will join the family business that she has been involved with since 2016 in a variety of roles and ensure that Longview RV remains a family owned business for another generation.
