Transportation Transformation
Could the RV industry finally have a real contender to transform
the way RVers transport themselves around RV resorts,
campgrounds and the local neighborhood?
Many RVers don’t really like towing a vehicle behind their
motorhome. It is a practice long endured because they need basic
transportation once they have arrived at their destination. If they
really dislike the idea of a car behind a motorhome, they may actually
opt for a pick-up truck and fifth wheel or a car/trailer combination
that may be more to their liking.
A small Rhode Island company, eGO Vehicles, Inc., may have
finally provided the long awaited solution for a transportation
transformation in the RV and campground industry.

Heritage
Herb Reeves, Jr.
"He just couldn’t hold a job!"
While Herbert M. Reeves
Jr. was still in the U.S.
Army at the end of
World War II, he bought a
small travel trailer. In a very
few trips he fell in love with the
entire travel trailer lifestyle.
When he was discharged, in
1946, he returned home to
Kankakee, IL and opened
Reeves Trailer Sales to provide
his friends and neighbors with
the opportunity to enjoy the RV
experience as he had in the
short time he had to experience
the freedom. His retail
experience grew and was successful,
but in 1950, he
demonstrated an industry
"wanderlust" much like the
early pioneers of our country.
He left Kankakee, moved to
Elkhart, IN, and started up the
Florence Stove Distributing
Company. In 1958, Reeves
changed horses again and he
reestablished the Covered
Wagon brand as a travel trailer
manufacturer. In 1965 totally
changed directions again and
opened the Arrowhead Park
Campground in southern MI.

Full-Length
RV-SuperSlide™
Introduced by RBW & SkyDeck
The RBW SuperSlide moves the sidewalls of an RV apart to
form true home-like spacious interiors nearly the full length
of the RV.
Moreover, when two SuperSlides replace four or five conventional
slideouts in an RV, costs, complexity, and weight goes down.
SkyDeck Industries LLC, a high-technology vehicle design firm,
announced the multiple pending patents and development of the
SuperSlide last year. SkyDeck licensed RBW Industries, Inc. as
the exclusive technology partner in bringing the new SuperSlide
System into the market. The SuperSlide is an element from the
multiple patents for Comprehensive RV Construction Systems,
which include the rooftop SkyDeck,
