My name is Dave Helgeson and I will be your host sharing my RV adventures (both good and bad) with you. I am the third generation in my family who has made their primary living from and through the RV industry. In fact, when I started RVing (at birth), the term RV hadn't even been coined. They were just called campers or travel trailers. Many people claim I was born in a travel trailer, but my mom tells me it's not true.
Through the blog, I hope to educate, enlighten, encourage and entertain you by sharing many of my RV experiences while exploring God's creation.
Please join me as we travel down the RV information highway together. Visit regularly, post comments on what you like, don't like and what you would like to see in the future.
I hope to hear from you soon!
Dave Helgeson’s many roles in the RV industry started before he even had a driver’s license. His grandparents and father owned an RV dealership before the term “RV” had been coined, and Dave played a pivotal role in nearly every position of an RV dealership. He and his wife Cheri launched their own RV dealership in the Pacific Northwest. The duo also spent 29 years overseeing regional RV shows. Dave has also served as President of a local chapter of the Recreational Vehicle Dealers Association (RVDA), worked on the board of advisors for the RV Technician Program of a local technical college, and served as a board member of the Manufactured Home and RV Association. Dave’s reputation earned him the title of “The foremost expert on boondocking,” bestowed by RV industry icon, the late Gary Bunzer (The RV Doctor). When he’s not out boondocking, you’ll find Dave in the spotlight at RV shows across the country, giving seminars about all things RVing. He and Cheri currently roam in their fifth travel trailer, with Dave doing all the service, repair and modifications to his own unit.
