| What is it? |
RVDude.com is a real-time "how-to" web
resource and on-line community to be developed during a two year, 60,000
mile non-stop outdoor adventure odyssey from the Arctic to
Mexico, maybe even Panama, in a LUXURY RV coach!
RVDude.com is a lifestyle change that many have not even considered; until they think about it. The Adventure and all that is learned will be published using the latest technologies live on the web resulting in an interactive how-to resource and an on-line community. This is not another travel blog. It is hands on how-to. It is developing a like-minded community. It is high-tech, high-media using video webisodes, social networks, GPS, and every Web 2.0 mashup we can think of. Yes, you can have it all while roughing it! |

| Rationale |
RVDude.com is quite different than current
luxury RV travel. This is not the average 7,000 mile per year RV journey
to visit friends and family. Typically, a luxury RV coach is
not seen far from the interstate enjoying the northernmost golf course in Canada,
or SCUBA diving the southernmost waters of Mexico, to hiking, climbing, biking
and what-have-you everything in between! This is what makes
RVDude.com unique and interesting. It is all about luxury and
high-adventure together through an RV.
The real-time chronicle coupled with webisodes and other interactive technologies make the "how-to-do-it" useful and educational. The stigma is that the high-line active forty/fifty something market considers luxury RVs as the senior's exclusive domain. As a result, baby boomers demanding luxury and adventure have never considered a luxury mobile-active RV life-style. This high-line active market is completely untapped. Through RVDude.com I’ll blaze the trail and document how to take a luxury RV off the interstate - how to have an aggressive and active experience surrounded with luxury. How to take it from the Arctic to, yes, maybe even Panama. This kind of adventure has never been documented, if it's even been done. And this will be real-time, interactive, and high-tech. It isn't easy to take a 45 foot, tag axle, 20 ton rig off the interstate. RVDude.com will blaze that trail and document it on this quest to show how to have it all while enjoying the most pristine lands. It is all about how-to and community. |

| Conclusion |
If RVDude.com can help one person pursue their
adventure dream (maybe even an RV adventure), RVDude.com will have been successful.
Luxury coaches typically don't stray far from the interstate---this one will. Current owners of these coaches are typically not outdoor active---I am and so are my peers. The stigma of these coaches is that they belong to your grandparents---not any more. I like amenities and especially the ability to have all my toys while out there---these coaches allow that. You Can Have It All While Roughing It! The market for outdoor active baby boomer age luxury coach buyers is completely un-served. There are many folks, like myself, who might take-the-plunge if they could see how. Or maybe they simply lack the courage or the knowledge. RVDude.com explores that courage and creates the knowledge through real-time example. In a high-tech medium we expect. RVDude.com - experience it in real-time on-line or in-line! |

| Who Am I? |
I am an outdoor/travel active forty-something guy with a desire to learn
how and then do what many of my friends and peers continue to dream of:
that is to go from dreaming-at-work to working-at-a-dream. I am well
into working-at-a-dream with RVDude.com being my next dream.
Sometimes we forty-somethings get a little stuck in our ways. I hope to demonstrate one way out and chronicle it using the latest on-line technologies for everyone to learn from and be motivated by. Having completed many major adventures already, I have set my sights on RVDude.com as a full-time outdoor-active mobile RV experience. I will expand upon my previous RV experiences to embody – to the extent possible – a luxury approach to full timing with the outdoor immersion experience boon-docking affords. You Can Have It All While Roughing It! For press releases and bio details: www.zoominfo.com/JeffPeterson. In a nutshell, I am a retired until-I-get-bored-of-retirement former corporate officer of DuPont and technology executive at General Electric and Quebecor World. |
