It all started on Wednesday February 14, 2018 when John and Bob took to the airwaves with a new Internet show that was created over drinks at the bar on a little white napkin. John came to the industry as an experienced RVer after retiring from a career in radio advertising sales and some local television shows in Springfield and Worcester, Massachusetts. Bob, also an experienced RVer, began writing, speaking and consulting in the RV industry in 1996, while building one of the most respected document conversion companies in the Northeast. His RV hobby became his passion after leaving the corporate world in 2013.

You have probably seen articles in the media or heard stories around the campfire that say large motorhomes can not be sold in CA starting next year. Five other states, including MA, will be right behind in the next year or two. There are new rules on motorhomes based on weight, emissions and ZEV (Zero Emission Vehicles), and other factors around The Clean Air Act. We have asked our good friend Chris Dougherty, The RV-PhD and industry consultant to explain this issue in an understandable manner for average consumers. This is an evolving story and there will be many changes, so don’t panic. Chris will provide us a high-level overview of the laws and what the RV Associations are doing to delay implementations and get exemptions for chassis and RV manufacturers. See you at 7PM ET.

Our focus tonight is on the wonderful women you get to meet at many of our NERVDA dealers as you interact with them when buying an RV and the various services and support after the sale. Join us as we have an informal discussion about their career path that brought them into this great industry. It will be fun hour getting to know them better and appreciating the role they play in meeting customer expectation for a great RV experience.

Not when it involves RV dealers and the education, networking and workshops that are the highlight of this event!
The very best dealers in the country assembled in Las Vegas last week for the RVDA Convention/Expo. This is the most important meeting of the year for RV dealers. Especially our NERVDA dealers who were in attendance.
The investment of time, money and resources at this event confirm the importance of training that will allow these dealerships to deliver outstanding sales, service and support to their customers when they get back to the dealership.
Chris was the Chairman of the Convention Committee. A dedicated RVDA volunteer through the years, he and his team delivered an incredible program. Chris, along with cameo appearances from other NERVDA dealers that were in Las Vegas, will explain why this is the best investment they can make each year to make your RV purchase and experiences fantastic in 2025.
