How did a former Wall Street businessman get into taking groups on desert trips in their off-grid vehicles?

“I love the outdoors. I love travel, and when I bought my Storyteller Overland van, I had spent 30 years working for a big Wall Street bank running an asset management business for them. I bought my van in September, and in October they said ‘Your job was eliminated'," said Joel Hempel, owner of Fernweh Guided Expeditions.

“Give the boy a shot!”

That’s all it took when Fran Roberts tried to get a bank loan to open an RV dealership selling tent campers at just 19 years old. As Roberts faced a possible denial, someone called out from the back and told the loan agent to reconsider, changing the course of Roberts’ life — and that of his family members for generations.

Now, 66-year-old Long View RV SuperStores is going strong and training a new generation to take over.

Why buy an RV at an auction?

RV auctions attract a diverse pool of buyers with one common goal: value. Auctions frequently offer RVs at prices well below retail. For dealers, this means higher margins. For private buyers, it’s a chance to access motorhomes, travel trailers and fifth wheels at a reduced cost.

So, what do you look for before bidding? Find out here: https://ow.ly/eib750WFmp5

From adaptable garage spaces to innovative features like LiftSuite, Grand Design RV's Momentum toy hauler offers flexible floorplans to fit a wide range of RV lifestyles.

“The toy hauler of the past was rugged, with more aggressive interiors,” says Product Manager Chase Booth. “Maybe you don’t have side-by-sides, and maybe in the future you will want to have such a thing, but right now you are using it as a camping fifth wheel or travel trailer. Maybe you are using it full time. They are intended to be used all the time if you want to.”
