Requity Insights

On this week's episode of Requity Inisghts, we got to sit down with the CEO of ARVC, Paul Bambei. We recently visited the Outdoor Hospitality Conference and Expo and found our experience there to be extremely valuable, so we thought "Why not sit down with the individual who created it all", to get the full inside scoop. During this episode we speak briefly on OHCE and ARVC as a whole before going into a more in-depth presentation by Paul about the state of the RV Industry. We were able to get an inside look at the outdoor recreation economy, what percentage of GDP it accounts for, and camper demographics. Paul also touches on where the market is expected to head in the future and what to expect in the industry.
