Let's Flip an RV to Promote Women in the RV Industry - Episode 3!

Today, we’re working on the RVWA Drab to Fab rehab, trailer rehab. Thetford has been on the ground floor of developing the RVWA so to help support women in the industry and also to get more women into the RV industry. And when they came up with this idea to do this project, it’s sort of like a mobile Habitat for Humanity. And we’ve been involved with RVWA and the Habitat for Humanity, women build here in Elkhart, Indiana.  And also it’s for a great cause, and it’s going to be raffled for charity.

I really like this feature and decided to add it to our central vacuum system. Let’s take a look at what’s involved with the installation.
