Our mission is to build community and help new and experienced campers get more from their RV. RV on Call The mission of RV on Call is to build community and help make RV life more safe, efficient, and fun. Serving Raleigh - Durham - Chapel Hill In-person and Online RV on Call is a mobile RV services business in the North Carolina Triangle (Raleigh - Durham - Chapel Hill) that supports RVers in person and online. The company launched in March 2022 and offers mobile RV maintenance, inspections, cleaning, and instruction services. In addition to direct in-person services, the company is also aimed at creating a safe and supportive local learning community through a blog, digital products, and member's-only forum. The forum is a place to share RV tips, reviews of local services and campgrounds, and also list RVs and accessories for sale by owner. The mission of RV on Call is to build community and help make RV life more safe, efficient, and fun. Serving a Diverse and Growing Metro Area RV on Call’s base of operation in Durham, North Carolina, is at the epicenter of strong population growth and abundant RV camping opportunities. The company is led by Pete Sullivan, who for 16 years worked as an urban planner before deciding to launch RV on Call. Pete now holds a day job in IT and decided start a part-time RV business to develop his own RVing knowledge and skills and respond to the area’s growing demand for mobile RV services. “The more I studied the local RV market and our physical proximity to great parks, natural areas, and campgrounds, the more it seemed like a good time to give this RV services business a go,” said Sullivan. “This is a part-time nights/weekends operation - I still have my day job and I love what I do professionally . RV on Call is my way of branching into something totally different as a side gig. What I tell people is that I have a full-time passion for this part-time business.” North Carolina is the ninth-largest state and had the sixth-largest population gain over the last decade, right behind Texas, Florida, California, Georgia and Washington. The state added 112,000 people between 2020-21 , and now clocks in at 10.6 million people. Most of this growth has occurred in just six counties, either in or near RV on Call's service area. North Carolina is also becoming older and more diverse . The over 65 population is growing by 16 percent, and projections indicate that 41 percent of the NC population will be Black, Hispanic, Asian, American Indian, or multiracial by 2030. “The RV and camping demographic is changing , and we see this awareness promoted in the Go RVing rebrand , and by organizations like NC-based Black Folks Camp Too ,” said Sullivan. RV on Call's customers have included young and non-traditional families, first-time RVers, retirees, and people of color. According to Sullivan, “Getting to know local RVers has been a very rewarding aspect of the job. I hope to run into my customers at the campground or the grocery store and strike up an RV chat”. North Carolina and Triangle Region Has a History of Business Growth and Innovation The Triangle region has long been a standout for its strong economic base of manufacturing, technology, biosciences, health care, and academia, along with a highly-educated workforce . “Innovation and evolution is in our DNA, starting with Research Triangle Park (RTP) , then tobacco warehouse redevelopment , and now the technology sector . This favorable business climate continues to gain attention .” Sullivan thinks this will intersect more with the RV and camping industry over time. RV Retailer , a national chain, now operates eight dealers in NC, most recently purchasing Bill Plemmons RV in Raleigh in 2021. In addition, Encore/Thousand Trails, a national membership-based camping club now operates twelve campgrounds across the state. And at least three new coastal campgrounds development projects are also in the works in tourism-heavy Carteret County near Beaufort , Dare County near Manteo , and New Hanover County near Wilmington . “I think these developers see that NC is a bright spot,“ Sullivan said. From 2020-2021 the rate of population growth declined in 31 of 50 states including DC, and of those, 18 states saw absolute losses in terms of population numbers, according to Brookings . While COVID-19 clearly played a role, growth began to plummet before the pandemic. From 2010 to 2020, the U.S. registered the second-lowest decade growth in its history—a consequence, in large part, of its aging population. According to the RV Technicians Association of America North Carolina does not have nearly the same concentration of RV technicians and inspectors as popular RV destinations like Florida or Texas. And while people may not associate North Carolina with RVing in the same way as fast-growing and scenic states like California or Arizona, Pete believes this perception will evolve over time. “I think as NC continues to be a sought-after location to live and work its reputation as an RV market will move up in the rankings . We have tech companies like Apple , Google , and Epic Games expanding here, as well as Toyota , Fidelity Investments , and Boom Supersonic . It’s unlikely NC will ever come close to an Indiana-like RV hub , Sullivan said. “But why not expand the presence of east coast RV manufacturing and join NC-based producers like Sylvan Sport , Spevco , and Golden Gait ?” Sullivan continued, “Being an east coast state, North Carolina has nowhere near the same acreage of public recreation lands like western states. But we are blessed with lovely weather, fewer natural disasters, relative affordability, and high quality of life. For many RVers with traditional fixed location jobs, striking a balance of where you live and where you recreate is really important.” Sullivan added, “My family moved to Durham from Seattle, Washington, in 2014 and we always imagined we would end up back in the Northwest because it is simply gorgeous and we have a community there. But compared to NC, Western Washington is grey, cold, expensive, and congested. We are settled here in Durham. This is now feeling like home. Of course, that's the advantage of RVing. Home can be where you park it.” NC Camping Opportunities Abound While it may not boast the scenic grandeur of the West , North Carolina does have a surprisingly well-developed infrastructure for RV camping from the Smokies to the Outer Banks. Within Central North Carolina there are 19 private campgrounds according to Camping Carolinas and 17 dealers according to the NC RV Dealers Association . Sullivan continued, “The infrastructure is here, and yet there is still a lot of demand. When I purchased a Winnebago travel trailer in 2021 I had to go to a private seller in Virginia - none of the local dealers could keep the units we wanted long enough for us to go look at them.” “The Triangle is nestled within an outstanding state park system, so not only do you have the combination of high growth and quality of life, good-paying jobs, and a robust RV support industry, you have people living within easy access to prime RV camping opportunities,” Sullivan said. The North Carolina state parks system manages 21 parks from Charlotte to Rocky Mount, and utilizes an easy online reservation system through Reserve America. In total, there are more than 2600 vehicle-accessible campsites within a two hour drive of Raleigh - Durham - Chapel Hill, many including water and electrical hook-ups and within close proximity to lakes, rivers, and trails. Falls Lake and Jordan Lake reservoirs are within a 30 minute drive of these population centers and under state law they are protected from private development to protect drinking water supplies. Between these two lakes there are eight RV-accessible campgrounds with more than 1300 sites on or adjacent to serene, forested shoreline offering access to swimming, fishing, and boating. Sullivan added, “There is lots of concern nationally about the difficulty of securing campsite reservations . RVing is at at all-time high thanks in part to the pandemic spike in RV and camping demand , but the Triangle is a rare exception.The fact that we can head out camping spontaneously during the busy season without a reservation and still find a site is a gift of flexibility I don’t take for granted. It makes the entire camping experience more enjoyable because it doesn’t require you to lock in rigid plans months in advance .” Supporting RVers and Building Community RV on Call’s target market is new RVers and working families who might be able to perform basic cleaning or maintenance on their own, but just don’t have the time and need help. Or maybe they rent their RV to others and need help with turn-around and upkeep. Sullivan further describes how his business aims to serve this demographic. Many articles on the web cover the full-time RV lifestyle . There is an allure of being on the open road, and it is very impressive that people find ways to make that lifestyle work. People are curious and want to know what it takes to live the nomadic life. But I’m also interested in knowing what busy families are doing to make the RV lifestyle work. What are the tips and tricks of the family of dual working parents that have an RV, but also really demanding careers that challenge their ability to pack up and fully unplug for a camping weekend? The details that need to come together to execute a camping weekend - planning, food shopping, and packing beforehand, and the clean-up afterward - they aren’t trivial and keep some folks from camping as much as they would like. You can’t cut corners with an RV or you will compromise safety and/or your rig. RVs offer the convenience of home, but they also require a lot more care and feeding than a tent. You need to have a good system - or soft skills - otherwise it becomes more work and less joy. RV on Call therefore focuses on both the hard skills and soft skills (specifically one's mindset, routines, and planning habits) so that people can enjoy their rig but also the journey itself. We call it ‘getting more from your RV.’ If I help a customer with a maintenance or cleaning job, I would then like to hear how it went during the camping weekend that I helped them prepare for (if they are so inclined to share). I want customers to feel that they are a part of a supportive community. We are offering a lot of discounts for new and local customers because we want to make it easier for folks to join this community and become active. Due to the nature of the part-time business, Sullivan can’t commit to being ‘on call’ in terms of physically driving to someone’s location on short notice, and he routinely refers customers to other local technicians. “RV technicians are in demand , and I am happy to refer a customer to a competitor if my schedule is booked or the work is beyond my capacity. So while I cannot physically be everywhere at once, I am on call in terms of communication. 100% of my customers have gotten a response within 24 hours, and often it’s the same day,” Sullivan said. “The expectation for fast and direct communication and customer service support will only increase as we become accustomed to anywhere/anytime connectivity with our smart phones, and to that end, the RV on Call web site is fully optimized for mobile devices.” With the RV on Call forum Sullivan hopes the business will grow beyond direct RV repair and maintenance services and become a gathering place for Triangle-area RVers. There are many existing online RV forums, but few that focus specifically on the Triangle. “The forum can be a place where people offer tips on how to snag the best camping spot at Jordan Lake, where to find live bait on the drive there, and which local RV dealers have the best selection of accessories,” Sullivan said. Another goal with the forum is to ensure it remains a safe and supportive space for both new and experienced RVers. It is moderated, and members need to agree to a Code of Conduct with zero tolerance for intimidation or harassment. There are three membership plans that allow for increasing access to forum categories, including for sale by owner listings, as well as digital products like RV tips, local service listings, and service discounts. “By requiring people to register and pay a nominal one-time fee we hope the forum will generate a more positive and productive atmosphere and filters out any trolls,” Sullivan said. “No one should feel like they can’t ask a basic question - we were all new at this at one time.” In the future RV on Call plans to expand to social media and offer online booking. “The initial interest has been more than I expected with very little advertising,” Sullivan said. “I’m excited to see where this goes and hope the service helps local RVers find resources and connect with others.”

We also maintain a blog and publicly viewable listing of RVs and gear for sale. We focus on both hard and soft skills to help folks get more from their RV. Our Services and Passion RV on Call is a direct service provider, information platform, and community. We are North Carolina’s only hybrid RV community, meaning we offer a mix of both in person (mobile) and online services. Yes, we can fix and maintain your RV, but we are not only interested in keeping RVs running - our aim is to build community and make RV life more safe, efficient, and fun. Let's face it: RVs are complex. Choosing the right one, knowing how to use it, keeping up with maintenance, all the care and feeding. But the physical aspect is only half the playbook. At RV on Call we think of the RVing as having two main components: hard skills and soft skills. Hard skills are about managing the rig itself; soft skills are about managing yourself, your travel companions, and the journey . We believe mastering both is critical to the RV experience, but most guidance in books and online skews toward hard skills. RV on Call is not your typical mobile RV service because we focus on a mix of both. We like getting our hands dirty with RV repairs and maintenance, but are also fascinate by the RV industry and lifestyle . We love discovering tips, mods, hacks and planning tools related to the RV mindset + routine + planning. These soft skills cover attitude and expectations, packing checklists and physical modifications, travel routines and route plans, campground etiquette and communication techniques. We are constantly training and researching to improve our techniques and recommendations. We share what we know, amplify the contributions of others, and promote discussion. Above all, we are customer-focused and welcoming. Discover our mobile RV services , learn about our membership plans , browse the forum and engage with other RVers, or enjoy articles on the blog . More details on everything can be found in the FAQ . All RVers have a perspective worth sharing. We invite you to explore our site, join the conversation , and get more from your RV. The Need for Mobile RV Services In 2020 RVs were having a moment. The COVID-19 pandemic added fuel to an already-expanding industry, and rental services like Outdoorsy and RV Share allow tentative owners chance to try before they buy. According to the Recreational Vehicle Industry Association (RVIA) Survey of Manufacturers , 55,014 units were sold in September 2021, an increase of 32% compared to September 2020, setting a new all-time high for the number of RVs shipped in any previous month and quarter. A record number of rigs are on the road and owners can now manage units with the ease of an AirBnB. Despite its remarkable the growth (or perhaps because of it) of RV industry suffers from a languishing support sector. In his article, The State of RV Repairs (11/30/21), Marc Bennett described six reasons why it is so hard to get into an RV Repair Shop, citing supply and demand, the nature of RVs themselves (rolling earthquakes), and the shortage of RV technicians. In Episode 262 of The RV Podcast (2019), Mike and Jennifer Wendland discussed the causes and potential solutions for addressing the 21-day delay to get an RV repaired at an RV dealership or service center. And that was pre-COVID. Highly skilled RV repair technicians cannot keep up with demand. RV repair shops charge high hourly rates for premium services. So where does that leave the rest of us that just need help with routine tasks? You wouldn’t hire a contractor to maintain your yard, so why go to an RV shop for general upkeep? RVing is fun, but let’s face it: a house on wheels requires constant attention, and moving thousands of pounds of weight down the highway is serious business. The joy of RVing is the journey as much as the destination. Some call it a chore-cation, but RVers know that the more love you give your rig the more it loves you back. But life gets busy some times. Does that mean you should you still take those trips? Yes, but we shouldn't neglect our rigs. It’s almost like the RV industry needs the equivalent of a property manager. This is how RV on Call was born. Some folks might need help because they are new. Some folks might just not have the extra time to do the job. Some folks might just not want to deal with the aftermath of the trip. RV on Call exists to support busy RVers juggling work and family and play time, or those who are frequently renting their units to others and don't have time to handle the clean-up and turnover themselves. Whether it's fixing your RV or teaching you how to use it, we are here to help you get more from your RV.

Some features that make RVs well-suited for tailgating and music events include: Amenities: RVs typically have a kitchen, bathroom, and sleeping quarters, which can be useful for tailgating and music events where there may not be many facilities nearby. Comfort: RVs provide a comfortable and private space to relax and take a break from the event, as well as a place to get ready and change clothes. Entertainment: Many RVs have built-in entertainment systems, such as TVs and sound systems, which can be used to watch the event or listen to music. Convenience: RVs can be parked close to the event, eliminating the need to find lodging or drive back and forth. Tailgating: RVs can have outdoor spaces, like a patio or awning, which can be used to set up a tailgate party. Group events: RVs can also be used by a group of friends or family to attend events together, providing a shared space to hang out and enjoy the event. 1 4 9 Looking for Motorhome Storage Any suggestions In NC Triangle Camping + Services February 25, 2024 Hi Pete thanks for the questions. 1.

Businesses that display the Unity Blaze campfire symbol pledge to Invite and Welcome folks regardless of their race, age, gender or abilities. Contents About the Unity Blaze Credential Black Folks Camp Too Mission and History RV on Call's Commitment to All Customers About the Unity Blaze Credential Based in Western North Carolina, Black Folks Camp Too offers various products and services that promote inclusivity within the outdoor industry. One of its main services is the Unity Blaze Academy, a self-paced learning platform offering comprehensive courses that help businesses and their staff develop knowledge and skills around equity and inclusion. The company also maintains a related map on its website of Unity Blaze Certified Partners, where people can discover businesses and organizations that have received the Unity Blaze credential and are committed to creating a welcoming and inviting atmosphere. The map includes 10 categories including campgrounds, manufacturers, RV dealers, and outdoor retailers. As reported in RV Pro (March 4, 2024) and RV News (March 5, 2024), RV on Call has become the first mobile RV service to join the “RV Partners” category, expanding the Unity Blaze program to a new partner within the outdoor industry. Black Folks Camp Too Mission and History The mission of Black Folks Camp Too is to change the world one campfire at a time, by inviting and welcoming more folks to camp and enjoy the outdoor industry and lifestyle. Black Folks Camp Too was founded in 2015 by Earl B. Hunter Jr. Mr. Hunter is an experienced business leader across multiple industries, and has been widely recognized for his ebullient personality, hard work ethic and non-traditional approach to building relationships and closing deals. The idea for Black Folks Camp Too came to Earl while serving as Vice President of Sales for Sylvansport, one of the world’s most innovative outdoor industry companies. In 2015 he and his son traveled and camped across the US and Canada for three months, visiting 49 campgrounds throughout 20 states and provinces. However, they only saw one other black family camping along that journey. He became inspired to break down barriers to the outdoor lifestyle and create more inclusive communities and stronger relationships, and Black Folks Camp Too was born. RV on Call's Commitment to All Customers I had the pleasure of attending one of Earl’s talks at the Raleigh RV show in 2023. He spoke very clearly to the misperceptions many people have about why people of color have lower rates of participation in the outdoors, and did so in a moving, honest, and beautiful way. Earl has an incredible ability to make a very difficult subject entertaining and enlightening. He avoids loading his approach with any finger-pointing or shaming, and instead pulls his audience in to his story, which is both personal and generational, and shared amongst many people of color. His sincere approach helps the audience remain engaged and hopefully inspires meaningful change to everyone in the outdoor industry fortunate enough to hear his message. After his talk I went to the Black Folks Camp Too booth and Earl and I spoke for about 20 minutes. While we talked I appreciated that he was not trying to give a fast sales pitch or convince me to enroll in the Unity Blaze program (his talk accomplished that). Instead, he was genuinely interested in hearing about my new business called RV on Call, and he provided some helpful words of encouragement. The North Carolina Triangle is a diverse region, and RV on Call customers come from a broad array of backgrounds and ethnicities. Moreover, learning to RV can be overwhelming, with so much to know about RV trip planning, safety and maintenance procedures, and essential vs elective products and accessories. The learning curve for new RVers can be downright intimidating. Since Day 1, the goal with RV on Call has been to reduce any barriers people may encounter with RVing and aim to create a safe and supportive learning community - one where all RVers feel invited and welcome, regardless of skill level, ethnicity, background, or political views. Certifying with Black Folks Camp Too helps reinforce this philosophy and we now display the Unity Blaze with pride. ****** Enjoy the read? There's more for you at RV on Call - join our Community!

In short: Let's go RVing! Try these RV trip planning tips - planning is a critical RV soft skill that will help make your trip safe and efficient and avoid bumps in the road. Contents 1. Choose Your Destination 2. Make a Plan that Fits Your Budget 3. Plan an RV-Friendly Route 4. Follow the 2-2-2-2 Rule 5. Be Flexible Choose Your Trip Destination The first step to creating a well-planned trip is to choose your destination well in advance. Do some research and find RV-friendly places to stay. When you’re choosing where to stay, make sure the campsite or park has the amenities you’re looking for, which may include things like clean restrooms and outdoor features you want to check out. Book your campsite in advance so that you know you have a place to stay and make note of the cancellation policy terms. Make a Plan that Fits Your Budget When you’re planning your trip, consider your budget. The RV lifestyle can add up quickly, with the costs of food, gas, campsites, and vehicle maintenance. Write out your budget for your trip, calculate how much gas money you will need, and allow some extra funds for miscellaneous expenses that come up. Plan an RV Friendly Route Once you decide on your destination, you can book your route. Plan a route that includes places where you can camp your RV, and make sure you research any low clearance restrictions for bridges and tunnels, plan your gas stops, and be aware of any steep grades that you may want to avoid. Follow the 2-2-2-2 Rule Some people refer to the 2-2-2 rule of the RV lifestyle, but we like to say the 2-2-2-2 rule and offer room to modify it to the 3-3-3-3. This rule helps you with planning your trip and means: Stop for breaks every 2 hours. Limit driving distance to 200 miles per day. Arrive at your destination by 2 pm. Stay for at least 2 days. If you have more stamina or are planning a longer trip, try following this rule with 3 - and 300 for the second point - instead of 2. Be Flexible When you’re planning your RV trip, the most important thing is to be flexible. Obstacles inevitably arise, and having a positive attitude and being flexible will help you and your family roll with the challenges and enjoy your trip more. Planning your RV trip will help you make the most of your experience. You’ll be able to see and do the things you want while sticking to your budget and avoiding common pitfalls that can arise. Of course, some roadblocks inevitably come up with any RV trip, and staying flexible and planning ahead will allow you to still enjoy your adventure. Enjoy the read?
