REV Fire Group, which includes REV Group Inc. manufacturers of E-ONE®, KME®, Ferrara™, Spartan Fire Chassis™, Spartan Emergency Response®, Smeal™, and Ladder Tower™ fire apparatus brands, is proud to announce its all-electric Vector fire truck is one of four REV Fire pumpers that will be part of the firefighting fleet used at Daytona International Speedway (DIS) in 2023. The exclusive partnership is now in its second year.
The zero emission and zero greenhouse gas Vector fire apparatus aligns with Daytona International Speedway sustainability initiatives, including a project to plant more than 100 trees within view of the track’s grandstands in April 2022. Similar initiatives championed by NASCAR and its partners include a blended biofuel, in-venue recycling efforts, and the recycling of racing oils and race-used tires.
“We are excited to provide the all-electric Vector for our Florida neighbor, Daytona International Speedway, to protect its employees, NASCAR drivers and the many fans and spectators who attend “The Great American Race” and other events,” said Mike Virnig, Vice President of the REV Fire Group, which is headquartered in Ocala, Fla. “Vector also protects the environment, making this a perfect collaboration with DIS and NASCAR and their many green initiatives designed to reduce the track and sport’s carbon footprint and promote sustainability.”
With its 327 kilowatt-hours (kWh) of proven automotive-grade batteries, the Vector delivers the longest electric pumping duration in the fire industry, accomplishing all driving and pumping tasks exclusively on electrically generated power. The design also features low battery cell placement, offering a safer, lower center of gravity for enhanced stability while operating at the Speedway.
Vector and the other REV Fire apparatus will be used at the Daytona 500, the Rolex 24 at Daytona and the Coke Zero Sugar 400.
This past December Daytona International Speedway hosted a two-day test session for the Grand Touring Prototype (GTP) class, new hybrid-powered race cars set to debut in the Rolex 24 At Daytona which kicks off the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship on Jan. 28-29.

Overall, REV Recreation Group, Inc. plans to showcase approximately 45 models from its industry-leading brands spread across nearly 43,000 square feet of display space.
“2023 is shaping up to be another great year for all of our brands, and we’re thrilled to showcase our award-winning lineup as well as some of our new products and features with the world at the Florida RV SuperShow,” said Don Gephart, Marketing Manager with REV Recreation Group, Inc. “This year’s display of American Coach, Fleetwood RV and Holiday Rambler products will offer plenty for RVers to get excited about – whether they’re looking for adventure, family fun or the best the luxury RV lifestyle has to offer.”
Highlighting Innovative 2023 Models
Widely known for its proven track record of product innovations and features across its motorized RV brands, REV Recreation Group, Inc. will be highlighting several 2023 Class A models:
American Coach will once again set the tone for innovation in the luxury RV space with the debut of its all-new Diesel American Dream® 45P Designed with full-time RVers in mind, the 45P offers an incredibly spacious and luxurious layout, including both a full and a half bath – making the space ideal for entertaining, lingering, and living RV life to its most luxurious.
Fleetwood RV will be showcasing its brand-new – and award-winning – Diesel Frontier® GTX that features an industry-first dedicated office via its 37RT floorplan. The 37RT’s optional The Corner Office™ has been designed to deliver the space, technology, convenience, and privacy needed by those working or learning from the road, all while strategically located at the rear of the coach so it’s away from daily life activities. The space is cleverly arranged and includes an L-shaped desk with a built-in monitor and multiple nearby outlets, while a large window tops the desk to bring in natural light and deliver a view of the outdoors.
The Frontier GTX 39TA floorplan offers plenty of innovative and family-friendly features itself, starting with both slide-outs being located on the driver’s side. This enables the passenger side of the coach to be completely free for outside patio entertaining under the RV’s large awning and its luggage bays are easily accessible. The 39TA’s 1-½ bath configuration places the full bath mid-ship – providing family members and guests easy access – with a half-bath situated in the rear of the coach off the master bedroom.
Ready for families of all sizes, the 2023 Holiday Rambler Armada® 40P makes its debut at the 2023 Florida RV SuperShow. This luxurious diesel pusher offers serious power, safety, and stability to get RVers where they are going. This incredibly spacious new floorplan can sleep up to eight thanks to bunk beds mid-coach. Additional sleeping can be found in the sofa-bed, dinette, and an optional Hide-A-Loft drop-down bed.
Must-See Models and Test Drives
These are just a handful of the most anticipated new models on display in Tampa. Other “not to be missed” RVs will include the American Eagle® 45E, and its “resort-living” design style, which features a show-stopping galley kitchen with a center island and wine chiller. Other must-see models include the Fleetwood RV Flex®, and the brand-new Holiday Rambler Eclipse®, which features a striking, distinctive exterior design and three distinct floorplans. Also making a debut at the show in Tampa is the all-new Fortis® 36Y from Fleetwood. This family friendly coach features the exclusive Kid Kave™ at the rear of the coach with a half-bath.
“From corner offices to resort-style layouts, our incredible product display at the Tampa SuperShow will once again demonstrate why we lead the way in innovative floorplans that fit the needs of any RVer,” said Doug Miller, Product Manager for REV Recreation Group, Inc. “We can’t wait to showcase all of the amazing product features and highlights to RVers from around the country.”
In addition, and thanks to its dealer partner, General RV, SuperShow attendees will have the unique opportunity to view and test-drive REV Recreation Group RVs.
“With so many amazing products from American Coach, Fleetwood RV and Holiday Rambler on hand to experience and test-drive, it’s obvious our display will be the place to be throughout at the Supershow,” Gephart added.
