On this week's episode of Requity Inisghts, we got to sit down with the CEO of ARVC, Paul Bambei.

During this episode we speak briefly on OHCE and ARVC as a whole before going into a more in-depth presentation by Paul about the state of the RV Industry. We were able to get an inside look at the outdoor recreation economy, what percentage of GDP it accounts for, and camper demographics.

In Episode 98 Eric Stark promotes the 100th Episode that will be hosted live on Youtube. He also promotes the “Come to Montana in July” promotion. This is a great opportunity to come by the store in Victor and meet all of us and see what we do. And while you are in Montana you can explore the awesome places there are to visit in your RV. Living the RV Life: Eric asks the question is all of the new technology found in today's RVs Impressive or Unimpressive? With central command centers that look like an iPad and more electronics than ever before is it impressive? The RV industry doesn't track like the automotive industry when it comes to getting electronics right the first time. It seems that it can be an expensive and time-consuming learning curve. Eric is passionate about technology but he expects it to work for years to come. Eric also hints at the new LifePo Battery that should take the RV Industry by storm. Battle Born?  Staying On The Road: Eric believes that RVers should carry spare parts for their RV but he also believes that there should be limits to what is carried. Some parts such as RV Appliance Circuit Boards could get destroyed if not stored properly before they ever get used. Circuit boards can get expensive and might exceed budgetary constraints. He explains what you should carry and why and not to go overboard without shortchanging yourself. The Next Stop: Death Valley, California is on the Hot Spot for this episode of “The Next Stop”. Alexis joins Eric in the conversation. Alexis is https://thesmartrver.com/ (The Smart RVer's) in-house RV Destination Guru.

The pandemic may be on the wane but the state of the RV industry as the second quarter of 2022 starts rolling is one of catch up, a slightly easing supply chain situation, and continued record demand for the products they build. Those are some of the things we're learning this week as we visit the Elkhart, Indiana region, the RV Capital of the world. We're here to observe the production and get our first hands-on look at the brand new 2022 Keystone Arcadia 3250 RL Fifth Wheel that we're buying later this week.

Earl B. Hunter, Jr is an experienced business leader across multiple industries. He has been widely recognized for his ebullient personality, hard work ethic and non-traditional approach to building relationships and closing deals. Mr. Hunter is driven by success and he always plays to win at whatever challenge is presented to him. Mr. Hunter is the Founder and President of Black Folks Camp Too — a marketing-driven business whose mission is to increase diversity in the out-door industry by making it easier, more interesting and more fun for Black folks to go camping. Black Folks Camp Too is a business that combines all of Mr. Hunter's previous sales leadership roles, but especially his most recent position as Vice President of Sales at Sylvansport. While at Sylvansport, Mr. Hunter grew the business from $1 million to $17.5 million in sales in 4 years, primarily by going on the road to build a network of over 100 RV dealers locations. In doing so, he put over 400,000 miles on the road across North America to work personally with dealership owners and sales teams at their outdoor/ RV events to “drive the business.” Mr. Hunter also developed a national sales relationship with Gander Outdoors/Camping World that helped establish a significant retail presence for the brand. The idea for Black Folks Camp Too began when Mr. Hunter was introduced to camping for the first time in 2015 while serving as Vice President of Sales for Sylvansport, one of the world's most innovative outdoor industry companies. The idea didn't fully form, however, until Mr. Hunter and his son, Dillon, went on an epic camping road trip across the USA and Canada. They traveled for 3 months visiting 49 campgrounds in 20 states/provinces and saw precisely ONE other Black family camping. At that moment, Mr. Hunter was on a mission. He began sharing stories of camping ad-ventures across his network of friends, family and followers — quickly becoming a top influencer for Black folks looking to give camping a try. KOA Campgrounds was so in-spired by the Hunters' trip, they invited Mr. Hunter and his son to the KOA headquarters in Billings, MT and wrote an article called A BUCKET LIST FATHER-SON ROAD TRIP which was posted on the KOA website. Mr. Hunter was also featured in a recent Recreational Vehicle Industry Association (RVIA) article as an outdoor leader who is “Shaking Up the RV Industry” — highlighting Mr. Hunter's ideas for expanding marketing efforts to be more inclusive of the African-American community.Find our more information, and get involved, by visiting https://www.blackfolkscamptoo.com/
