The Happy Daze RV Dealership, one of the City of Ripon’s Development Projects, is now under construction and scheduled to open in Fall.
DeGraff Development is handling the construction of the building, which is just under 40,000 square feet with a 20-bay service department with a full Collision Center and extensive parts department for all recreational needs, according to a report.
The new building will be the fourth location of the family-owned business. Happy Daze RV Owner RJ Lemke said the dealership first opened in San Jose, California in 1974. They later moved to Sacramento, expanding into Livermore and Gilroy.
Happy Daze RV will round out the Ripon Crossing shopping center area near Jack Tone Road at Garrison Way, between Boat Country and Alpine Climbing Adventure Fitness.
The other under-construction projects in Ripon Crossing on the City of Ripon list include the Jack Tone Road, Canal Street gas station with a convenience market, car wash, and electric car charging stations, and finally, the Burger King and Popeye’s Chicken drive-thru restaurants.
Moreover, the proposed upscale liquor store, a 7,498 square-foot retail building between Tractor Supply Co. and Popeye’s, will go before the Ripon Planning Commission at the July meeting.
Commissioners, in August, could look at the proposed Ride 209, a 25,554-square-foot fitness facility at 720 N. Jack Tone Rd. behind the Jack Tone / Canal gas station.
