Monika Geraci, director, PR and communications at the RV Industry Association (RVIA); Shane Devenish, executive director of the Canadian Camping and RV Council; and Dick Grymonprez, the PMRV representative on RVIA’s board and director of park model sales for Skyline Champion, all joined the show, along with cohost Ben Quiggle, editor of Woodall’s Campground Management magazine and administrator of WOODALLSCM.com (WCM), a publication focused on providing relevant news and information to RV park and campground owners; Brian Searl, CEO of Insider Perks, a marketing firm that is focused on serving the outdoor hospitality industry; and Cara Braeutigam, from the Canadian Camping and RV Council. 

The show focused on the recently-released numbers, supply chain challenges, what the outlook is for the future and much more.
