The Cleveland RV Show Taught Us Something Important

We didn’t come to the Cleveland RV Show to “sell stuff.” We came to test a belief.

A belief that families are tired of scrolling and ready for stories. A belief that people want experiences, not clutter. A belief that slowing down might actually be the new luxury.

We also came with a 20-foot tipi, a glowing astronaut, a Bigfoot who somehow became a celebrity, and a brand-new concept most people had never seen before.

And we came tired. Really tired.

Trying to explain what we do has been one of the sneakiest challenges of this whole adventure. We don’t fit neatly into any familiar box. We’re not a campground, not an RV dealer, not a gear shop, and not a travel agency—so people kept looking for the label before they could understand the experience. But here’s the simple truth: we make getting outside easy, beautiful, and meaningful. We design complete, ready-to-go outdoor experiences—whether that’s a cozy glamping night, a family camping weekend, or a backcountry escape—so you can arrive, light the lantern, and start making memories instead of unpacking stress. We don’t sell stuff. We hand you the front door to your next story.

This Was Not Easy

Let’s be honest — this booth didn’t roll in on cruise control.

Concrete floors fought our earth-built tipi. Poles were hoisted inch by inch. Lights were rewired. Displays were rebuilt. Sleepless nights became early mornings became “coffee is now a food group.”

We learned that dreams weigh more than they look. We learned that hope needs logistics. We learned that faith still requires extension cords.

But we also learned something far more important…

People Get It

They stopped. They smiled. They lingered.

They didn’t ask, “How much is that cooler?” They asked, “What is this place?”

We heard:

• “This is what we’ve been looking for.”

• “I didn’t know something like this existed.”

• “You’re not renting gear… you’re giving people a way back to each other.”

Parents imagined unplugged weekends. Couples pictured campfires instead of notifications. Kids wanted to find Bigfoot again tomorrow.

People didn’t just see products. They saw permission.

Permission to slow down. Permission to leave the noise. Permission to create stories worth telling.

Worth It

Was it hard?

Yes. Was it exhausting?

Also yes. Would we do it again?

Absolutely — because we didn’t just bring a booth to Cleveland. We brought a why.

And Cleveland answered.

Not with clicks. Not with algorithms. But with handshakes, laughter, long conversations, and eyes that lit up when someone realized:

“This could be our thing.”

So to everyone who stopped by. To everyone who took a selfie. To everyone who told us your camping story, your family story, your “we need this” story —

Thank you.

You didn’t just validate a concept. You lit the fire.

And we’re just getting started.
