RV/MH Hall of Popularity consists of Brevard camper in display

The GO Camper, the front runner product of Brevard-based SylvanSport, joined a display at the RV/MH Hall of Popularity in Elkhart, Ind.

. This is the first time the museum for recreational vehicles as well as motor homes has consisted of a product from the regional outdoor gear business. “We were all extremely fired up,” states Tom Dempsey, founder as well as CEO. “It’s an unanticipated honor. Normally, we believe those points happen after a whole job’s worth of job and also initiative.”

The GO Camper debuted in 2008 as SylvanSport’s initial item, which Dempsey designed with employees Kyle Mundt and Tom Reeder. In developing the camper, Dempsey prioritized the “toys,” such as kayaks or canoes, that adventure-seekers bring along, which he claims the RV industry had actually typically treated as a second thought.

The GO Camper will be featured in the Go RVing exhibit, which is sustained by the Rv Market Association as well as will compete six months. Along with the Go RVing exhibition, the RV/MH Hall of Fame presents motorhomes and also trailers from the last century, including a 1913 Earl Trailer that is believed to be the earliest nontent trailer out there.
