About Becker Autos & Trailers in Beloit, KS - Becker Autos & Trailers Announces Going Out of Business
Biggest Sale EVER at Becker Autos & Trailers
On the final push for camper sales in their journey to close out, Becker Autos & Trailers Camper SuperCenter in Beloit announces biggest sale ever! Inventory in the RV & Sporting Goods store is being sold at 50% or more discount but will only be available in the store through early November.
“Usually At this time we would be in the middle of our biggest sale of the year,” said Housh general manager of Becker Autos & Trailers. “But this year being our last it’s not only our biggest sale of the year, but the biggest sale we’ve ever had. On an urgent quest to clear out all our remaining camper inventory, we have listed it for sale to the public at wholesale auction prices.”
In the spring, when Becker Autos & Trailers announced they were to be going out of business they had nearly 140 campers on the lot. Down to about 30 campers, they have made a dent in their camper inventory numbers. Currently, Becker has no plans to maintain their dealership in Beloit after the first of the year. If their camper inventory is not sold, most will likely have to be taken to dealer auction prior to the end of the year or will put the business in an even tighter spot. Their 7 new campers must be sold on the lot or wholesaled to other Keystone dealers.
“Unfortunately, we currently don’t see any change of plans for our dealership being able to continue the business. Several factors play in, and we are very sad that we can’t just continue to operate as we have over the last several years and serve our customers and our local area. But, we do really need your help in continuing this close-out process on a positive note. We are still here to get you the best deal around, nationwide best on most; we have great finance and extended warranty options and great training in place for when you buy! We have plans in place to ensure, that even after we are gone you are still taken care of in the ways you want to be with your camping journey!”

Becker Autos & Trailers Announces Going Out of Business
It’s hard to imagine Beloit without highway 24’s Becker Autos and Trailers. A 10 acre lot full of campers, vehicle, and trailer inventory. But, very soon you won’t have to imagine it, as it is with heavy hearts that the decision has been made to close Becker Autos & Trailers, and to liquidate the camper and trailer inventory immediately.
Becker Autos, Trailers and Campers, Inc. is owned by Alvin and Debra Becker, as well as their son-in law Blake, and daughter Lydia Housh.
Lydia, General Manager of Becker Autos & Trailers Camper SuperCenter states, “Dad or ‘Big Al’, has finally decided that he wants to slow down and take a step back from ownership. We’ve been in Beloit for over 15 years, and we love what we do. Thanks to your support we grew quickly, but it’s been a struggle to keep up.
With over 175 vehicles, trailers, and campers currently for sale on the lot in March, plus the service for hundreds of customers who’ve bought from us, it would be too much for Blake and I to take over without Mom and Dad’s partnership, so we have made the decision to dissolve the corporation.
It’s time for them to relax and just enjoy life instead of helping to carry the responsibilities of a large business.
We will be open for normal business through Labor Day, but the goal is to downsize as quickly as possible! We are currenlty still taking trade ins, but will not add any new campers to the list! When they're gone, they're gone!
As of the end of June 2024 Close-out inventory consists of just under 70 campers including New Keystone campers and several used campers. Trailers, new and used, including several models of utility, stock, dump, enclosed and heavy-duty trailers from brands consisting of Titan, Big Tex, Carry-On, and a Hillsboro Aluminum pick-up bed. Becker’s plans to continue to carry and replenish their used vehicle inventory through the going out of business process.
While planning to completely sell out of the current trailer and camper inventory immediately, Becker Autos & Trailers Camper SuperCenter will continue to offer several financing options for most credit on all qualifying inventory, as well as extended service contracts and other products and services related to the purchase and aftercare of your vehicle or camper. We have also confirmed with Excel Service Center in Smith Center Kansas that they are able to take on our customers wanting Keystone warranty work as well as any Keystone dealer nationwide.
With it being camper season in Kansas, Becker’s service department is already in a back-log, and with the addition of an anticipated influx of close-out sales, they are only taking VIP customers who have purchased or are purchasing their units from Beckers. So, if you have work you want done for this Kansas summer camping season, it’s suggested that you make your service appointments early, and before the close-out process is completed.

Becker Autos & Trailers Camper SuperCenter in Beloit Celebrates 15 years
It’s hard to believe, but Becker Autos & Trailers will be celebrating their 15th year in Beloit on September 16th, 2023. The store will be offering extra discounts for all past customers and will have a huge inventory clearance and sale in the RV & Sporting Goods Store. The sales will run through September 22nd and the store will be closed for camper training the last week of September (September 23rd thru Oct. 1).
“We are incredibly thankful for the past 15 years in Beloit!” said Lydia Housh, General Manager of Becker Autos & Trailers. “We couldn’t do it without the support and word of mouth referrals from our local customers. It’s been a whirlwind with several ups and downs. We just go with the flow! Just like any other retail business, we never know what cards we will be dealt so we keep a positive attitude and hope to continue to share the value of what we offer!”
Several things have changed over the last almost 40 years of business. Becker Autos was originally founded in Downs, KS by Alvin and Deb Becker. The focus was quality used vehicles at affordable prices. The Downs lot usually had 15-20 vehicles and a few random things “Big Al” would add to the collection.
Fifteen years ago, the Beloit location was added. It started as only used vehicles, but within a few years added trailers to their inventory. They began to carry Kansas brands such as Titan and Hillsboro Heavy and stock trailers, as well as Aluma, a quality aluminum utility trailer brand, and steel utility trailers such as Big Tex. After the trailers were part of the inventory, Becker Autos & Trailers added a 3rd location to the mix in Salina focusing on mainly trailer sales on Old Hwy 40.
As time went by, the complexities of managing all 3 locations became overwhelming. An offer to buy the lot in Salina was made and it was sold. Becker Autos & Trailers expanded their operation in Beloit and hosted all trailers as well as the used vehicles. The original Downs location was also eventually closed and the business incorporated into their SuperCenter location on Hwy 24 in Beloit.
In 2015, Blake and Lydia Housh, current co-owners and managers of the Beloit location, were approached by a Keystone RV Hideout sales representative. “Campers were one thing that in the beginning we didn’t plan to take on. But, after visiting with the rep and seeing the quality of the new campers at an unbelievable price point, Keystone campers became a new offering for our business. Never did we think we would have the inventory you see on our lot today or have more campers than vehicles. But we found them to be selling not only locally but nationwide with our competitive pricing and family-owned business ethics” said Housh.
Several additions have been made to the service shops as well as more office space for the growing staff. The RV & Sporting Goods store was added and includes everything you would need to go camping with your RV, as well as several other novelty items.
To show gratitude for their loyal customers, a VIP program was implemented in 2021. It applies to anyone who has purchased and still owns their vehicle, camper, or trailer from Becker’s. Becker VIP’s receive discounted and priority service plus 20% off items in the RV & Sporting Goods store at all times.
The staff at Becker Autos & Trailers have played a huge role in the success of the business. The team is stacked with camping experts that have real experience in both the sales and service side. They have a text line that they regularly monitor for any urgent situations or if it’s the customer’s preferred way of communication.
Normal business hours are 9:30-5:30 Monday thru Friday and usually the 1st and 3rd Saturdays of the month 9-noon, and by special appointment. You may contact Becker Autos & Trailers by call or text at 785-534-1227, visit their website BeckerAutos.com or email sales@beckerautos.com.
