Peterson Industries, manufacturer of Excel 5th wheels, recently announced that they are partnering with RV Armor, Inc. to be the exclusive manufacturer to offer the RV Armor® “Lifetime” roof on new RVs.

Excel’s President, Bryan Tillett, first met RV Armor President, Lee Thaxton at the PRVCA show in Hershey, PA. in September.  “At first we were reluctant to offer a new roof that promised to be the next “miracle roof” explained Tillett.  “But after meeting Lee and seeing the product being applied first hand, I was convinced RV consumers need a maintenance free roof like this.”

The optional RV Armor® “Lifetime” roof will come with a lifetime warranty, provided by RV Armor, Inc.  If the roof should fail, or a water leak occur, RV Armor will not only warranty it, including material and labor, they will come to the customer’s location to do the work.  What’s more, the warranty follows the VIN # of the coach, not the owner.

The RV Armor® “Lifetime” roof is available now on all new Excel 5th wheels.  For more information on the RV Armor® ”Lifetime” roofsystem, click [...]

We just had a BEAUTIFUL new 38RDE arrive on our lot. This floorplan is perfect for the full time RVer. This innovative floorplan is the first Excel to comfortably seat 7 for dinner! If you are the type of person who loves to cook and entertain, this is the RV for you.

Stop by to see it today or watch the website soon as we work on getting new pictures uploaded.

Today, Brian Tillet with Peterson Industries joined many Excel enthusiasts at RV Sales in Moriarty, NM.  For the first time in history, you can now purchase a 5th Wheel that has an entrance through the slide out.  This industry changing innovation will set the example for other manufacturers throughout the company.  Watch the recorded version of the unveiling online at http://www.ustream.tv/recorded/33592211

Peterson Industries has never been a company who rests on it’s laurels.  Why be content with the past when there are so many opportunities for innovation?   Each model year brings many improvements and 2013 is no exception!  

Being a small company can be a blessing and a curse.  On the one hand, we have the ability to make improvements on the “fly”, keeping our product fresh and current.  On the other, many of our ideas must be “phased in” because of our inability to use up inventory quickly, either on our floor or product dedicated to us at our vendors, thus causing many of our design ideas to not be implemented at the exact beginning of a model year.

Among the many improvements you will see in the 2013 models as they are phased in are:

  • Taller Slide-outs.  We have raised our slide rooms from 6′ to 6′ – 6″.  What an improvement that made!  Not only [...]

SKOKIE, Ill. — Yesterday, Rand McNally introduced the RVND 7720, a new seven-inch RV GPS device with Wi-Fi connectivity allowing for real-time weather information and display, and new hardware with rugged casing, video input, and a brighter screen.

The new device – shipping now to stores, online retailers, and RV dealers and distributors – joins Rand McNally’s line of RVND GPS devices for RVers. Rand McNally pioneered RV-specific navigation by launching the first GPS device designed specifically for RVers and campers, states a press release from Rand McNally.

RV-specific navigation is necessary to route large vehicles and towables around road restrictions, low bridges and other physical hazards. However, like all Rand McNally RV GPS devices, the RVND 7720 can be used as a car GPS as well – merely by changing a simple setting.

One of the new features of the RVND 7720 is Wi-Fi connectivity, [...]
