I currently provide RV-related content to a number of resources including RVTravel, Girl Camper, RVTrader, RV Business and more.
As a child when my family would go to the Los Angeles County Fair when the others would be interested in the booths, the rides or the farm animals. Me - I was accosting the RV people going in and out of RVs and checking out all the different trends and designs.
I even fancied myself an RV designer and drew lots and lots of various RVs. I also wanted to be a car designer but I would have settled for RV designs.
For several years I worked at an RV dealership in Northern California - Redwood Empire RVs. At this smaller dealership I was responsible for both matching customers and RVs in a sales capacity but I also handled much of the warranty department. I learned a lot about how the RV industry works from the inside. I also learned how customers shop for and perceive RVs.
