The RVIA says the rousing event offered attendees a fun-filled festival, reception
and barbecue, an entertaining one-hour program saluting the industry’s
history and its workers, and a stirring fireworks display to cap the
evening.

“This was a fantastic way to honor the history of the industry and
look forward to the future of RVing,” added Joe Hosinski, marketing
director at Dutchmen Manufacturing.

An especially inspiring highlight of the RV Centennial Celebration
was RVIA’s “Salute to Workers” during the one hour RV Centennial
Program. RVIA President Richard introduced a specially produced video
segment that featured RV workers explaining why they enjoyed working in
the industry and RV industry executives expressing their gratitude for
the service of the workers.
