Peer group, and who names Camping World as a peer
Companies that benchmark against CWH
3 companies name CWH as a compensation peer
- AMERICAS CARMART INCCRMTFY2026
- OneWater Marine Inc.ONEWFY2024
- Titan Machinery Inc.TITNFY2026
Each company listed discloses CWH in its own benchmarking peer group, as disclosed in each company's most recent proxy statement within the last two proxy seasons. Two companies are therefore absent by design: one that named CWH in an earlier year and no longer does, and one whose own most recent disclosure is older than the last two seasons.
