Think of MEC, without the Granola and Birkenstocks but with an RV section too. I would stay away from the the hardcore mountain climbing gear and apparel, and just stick to the stuff 90% of campers are looking for.
I know Crappy Tire and Walmart do a lot of this stuff... but would you prefer to go to a one stop, dedicated place with a rewards system in place?
Looking for some feedback.

Great idea. I've been shopping for camping supplies and have had to visit a bunch of different places already - Wholesale Sports/Bass Pro/MEC.
Keep in mind Cabela's is opening up in a few months. If their store in Calgary will be anything like the superstores in the US, it would be my ideal place. I guess the differentiating factor for your idea is the selection of RV specific camping supplies as well.
I'm in the market for a canvas tent for car camping, like a Kodiak Canvas or Springbar like they have in the states. Can't find anything close to that here.
