The Folding Kayak That Sells Itself To RVers — and Why Every RV Dealership Should Carry It
About six years ago, the founder of Tucktec Folding Kayaks reached out to me — back when he was still hand-building each kayak out of his garage. Folding kayaks weren’t even on the radar yet. But he’d noticed something fascinating: most of his early customers were RVers.
He knew he needed someone who understood the RV world — someone who could connect with his prospects and the outdoor lifestyle market — and that’s when he called me (back when I was still a full time RVer).
A lot of people in our industry know, I’m the guy who’s written more Facebook ads for the RV industry than anyone else and have helped hundreds of dealerships consistently increase their sales with my paid ads. But what most people don’t know is that I’ve also helped sell over 75,000 Tucktec Folding Kayaks, mainly to RVers and almost exclusively online.
And now, this same amazing folding kayak that’s we’ve sold to tens of thousands of RVers, we’re offering this incredible in-store wholesale opportunity for dealerships to make extra revenue and add more value to their customers’ adventures.

The Most Sold Folding Kayak in the World — and a Perfect Add-On for Your Dealership
If you sell RVs, boats, or powersports units, there’s a new way to add value for your customers while generating extra profit with almost zero effort.
Meet the Tucktec Folding Kayak — the #1 best-selling folding kayak in America, proudly made in the USA. It’s a full-size, high-performance kayak that folds down small enough to fit in a car trunk, truck bed, RV storage bay, or even a closet at home. At only 21 pounds, it’s easy to carry, rugged on the water, and sets up in just two minutes.
For RVers, that’s a game-changer. No roof rack. No storage problems. No hassle. Just grab, unfold, and paddle within 2 minutes.
Why Your Dealership Should Carry the Tucktec Folding Kayak
RV, Marine, and Powersports customers all share one thing in common — they love adventure. And a large percentage of RV buyers are already shopping for kayaks as part of their lifestyle. By offering the Tucktec Folding Kayak at your dealership, you:
- 💰 Create a new revenue stream.
Earn additional margin by offering kayaks that your customers are already buying elsewhere online. - 🎁 Add more value for your buyers.
When someone purchases an RV, boat, or toy hauler, the Tucktec is the perfect complementary upsell — lightweight, durable, and ready to go wherever their adventures take them. - Offer a U.S.-made product your customers will love.
Proudly built in South Carolina, Tucktec kayaks combine innovative design with real American craftsmanship.
I Personally Use These Kayaks All the Time
I’m not just promoting this product — I personally use Tucktec kayaks all the time with my family. We’ve taken them across the country — in lakes, ocean bays, rivers, and even small streams. I’ve caught countless fish and had incredible experiences with friends and family along the way.
Everywhere I go, people are shocked when I pull up to a body of water with what looks like a small suitcase, unfold it in two minutes, and start paddling away in a full-size kayak that performs just as well as any traditional model.
It’s that moment of surprise — and freedom — that makes this product so special.
Affordable for Every RVer — Without Sacrificing Performance
Here’s one of the biggest selling points for your dealership and your customers: the price.
The average kayak today easily costs $1,000 or more — especially ones that perform well on the water. But the Tucktec Folding Kayak delivers the same performance and quality at a fraction of the price.
It’s stable, smooth, and tough enough for up to Class 3 rapids — and I can personally say, after using it in just about every type of water, I’ve never dumped it. I can even stand up and fish in it.
This isn’t a “budget” kayak — it’s a smart buy that opens up the kayaking experience to anyone, not just seasoned outdoorsmen.
That means your customers who buy a budget-friendly travel trailer or entry-level RV can now also afford to enjoy life on the water. It’s truly a kayak for everybody — couples, families, retirees, and weekend adventurers alike.
You can even offer a bundle discount or special package deal when customers purchase an RV — giving them more value and giving you more margin.
How It Opens Up a Whole New RV Experience
For your customers, having a Tucktec opens up a whole new level of adventure in their RV lifestyle.
Many RVers can’t (or don’t want to) carry a traditional kayak because:
- They don’t have a roof rack or storage space for a full-size kayak
- They can’t lift heavy kayaks due to shoulder or back issues or have limited strength
- They don’t want to deal with hauling gear or strapping things down
That means they’re missing out on some of the most incredible experiences while traveling — like gliding across glass-like water at sunrise, fishing from a secluded lake next to their campground, or paddling through a quiet river with friends at sunset.
With a Tucktec Folding Kayak, all of those experiences become instantly possible. It fits anywhere, sets up fast, and lets your customers explore water wherever their travels take them — from national parks to private RV resorts.
It’s Not Just for the Road
Even when your customers aren’t traveling, the Tucktec adds year-round value.
Here’s a photo from my own garage — eight Tucktec folding kayaks stacked neatly in a corner, taking up almost no space at all. I live across from a lake, and I can literally grab a kayak, set it up in two minutes, and be paddling.
Even my seven-year-old can assemble one easily. That’s how simple and user-friendly this product really is.
The Opportunity for Dealerships – Walmart Said Yes
Here’s the deal:
The Tucktec Folding Kayak retails for $439, but as a Shorelooksnice partner, I can get you wholesale pricing at $299 per unit.
That gives you healthy margins while still letting you offer customers a discount off retail pricing.
That means every time someone buys an RV, you can easily upsell them with something they’ll actually use and love. It’s also a great fit for your existing customer base — people who already own an RV or boat and would jump at the chance to grab a folding kayak that takes up virtually no space.
Walmart recently took us up on this wholesale deal and you can see we already have incredible 5 star review ratings on our kayaks. Your customers will love them too!
Real Performance, Proven Demand
This isn’t a gimmick. The Tucktec performs beautifully on the water — stable, smooth, and tough. I’ve personally proven its durability; in fact, I once set a world record, kayaking 32 bodies of water in 24 hours while traveling in Minnesota using only a Tucktec.

It’s been tested in lakes, rivers, and coastal waters, and it holds up — all while folding flat in minutes.

Pro Tip for Dealerships: Buy at Least Two
Here’s the strategy that makes this product practically sell itself on your showroom floor:
Order at least two units.
Why? Because the visual contrast is what blows people’s minds.
Set one up in your showroom as a fully assembled kayak, and keep another one folded up next to it. When customers see a full-size, rigid kayak sitting beside what looks like a 21-pound suitcase, they cannot fathom that it’s the same product.
It instantly grabs attention, sparks conversation, and gets people talking about your dealership — and not just about the kayaks. They’ll associate your store with innovation, adventure, and fun.
You won’t have to “sell” it like a typical kayak. The demo display does the job for you — it stops people in their tracks, gets them asking questions, and helps them visualize all the new experiences they could have while RVing.
It’s the kind of thing that gets their imagination going: picturing themselves launching at the lake near their favorite campground, exploring hidden rivers, or fishing before breakfast while their RV sits nearby.
