Fleetwood RV is a brand within REV Recreation Group, Inc., which is a subsidiary of REV Group, Inc.
The ‘transformed’ RV is owned by TJ and Heather Bedacht of Cincinnati, Ohio, and the family of five is heading south to spend Christmas at Disney World in Florida. Conveniently, the Bedachts own GCI Digital Imaging, which makes large-scale vehicle wraps.
“We bought our Fleetwood this summer and for this trip we wanted it to look different,” explains TJ. “We talked about a bunch of ideas and came up with the ‘Cousin Eddie’ look because my uncle is a huge fan of the 1989 film National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation. Originally, we planned to keep it a secret but just couldn’t hold back, so my uncle does know it’s going to pull up in front of his house sometime soon.”
Photo caption: The pristine 2014 Fleetwood RV Discovery 40G model in the midst of its ‘Cousin Eddie’ transformation.
The family had talked about buying an RV for the last five years and this June found a 2014 Fleetwood RV Discovery 40G model that was in amazing condition. It had been stored inside and had just 17,000 miles on it.
Two days after purchasing their very first RV, the family packed up their Discovery and headed to Dallas for a soccer tournament. During the past seven months, the Bedachts have traveled 10,000 miles and have become huge RV fans.
“We love the fact that we’re able to continue with our daily life while going down the road,” says TJ. “Heather and the kids can watch TV, play games, or have lunch and the miles just zoom by.”
The Discovery 40G model is a 41’ Class A Diesel luxury motorhome with a Cummins engine and a XC-Series Freightliner chassis. The 40G can sleep up to six with a set of bunk beds, pull-out sofa, and king bed. It has a spacious kitchen with a free-standing dinette, full bathroom with a shower, stacked washer and dryer, and two LED TVs.
Fleetwood RV is one of the most-established brands in the motorhome industry and is known for its quality, innovative features, and family-friendly design options. In fact, the Fleetwood Frontier was named a “Best New Model for 2022” by RV Pro magazine.
“It’s obviously not a traditional look for one of our RVs but it shows how families can have fun and make lasting memories in all sorts of ways,” says Deb Stapel, Director of Marketing for REV Recreation Group’s Class A products.

The Bedacht Family’s Christmas Itinerary
The family pulled out from Cincinnati the evening of Dec. 17 and are arriving at the Wilderness Lodge at Disney World after a few days on the road. The Bedachts are also stopping in Fort Myers to share the RV with their uncle Jack and other family members.
If you spot the infamous RV, go ahead and snap a pic and tag Fleetwood RV on Facebook and Instagram.

REV Group, Inc. (NYSE: REVG), with subsidiaries that manufacture Horton®, AEV®, Road Rescue®, Wheeled Coach® and Leader®brand ambulances, announces the opening of a second REV Ambulance Remount Center, in Grove City, Ohio. The investment in the new center reaffirms REV Group’s commitment to support emergency vehicle customers and extend the life of their ambulance purchase with state-of-the-art remount services. In addition, the facility is equipped to handle advanced service work, including body, paint, and accident repairs.
“The addition of our second REV Ambulance Remount Center allows us to better support our dealers and customers across the Midwest and Atlantic Coast, said Anoop Prakash, President, REV Ambulance Group. “We are thrilled to have the opportunity to provide this sustainable service option to our customers so they may extend the life of our high-quality ambulance bodies.”
The REV Ambulance Remount Center in Grove City is a new 63,000 square foot facility backed by years of REV expertise in manufacturing, remounting and repairs. All remounted vehicles adhere to our factory specifications and industry safety standards, such as Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS), to provide customers and state regulators with peace of mind when it comes to safety for their crews. Each remount comes with a workmanship warranty and, for REV brand ambulances, keeps intact the ambulance brand’s original structural warranty. The REV Ambulance Remount Center is focused on current and retired REV Ambulance Group brands and will also accept non-REV emergency vehicle brands on a case-by-case basis.
Remounting an ambulance provides an alternative to the purchase of a new vehicle when faced with budgetary constraints. It is also a cost-effective way to extend the life of an existing vehicle and provides the opportunity to make upgrades. In addition, REV Financial Services offers financing to facilitate remount and repair investments.
The first REV Ambulance Remount Center was opened in Jefferson, North Carolina, in 2015.

A REV Group Company Delivers Electric Ambulance to Hamad Medical Corporation in Qatar
Additionally, Hamad Medical Corporation (HMC), Qatar’s premier not-for-profit health care provider, which operates the national ambulance service, is conducting an operational trial of a state-of-the-art, zero-emissions Battery Electric Type II ambulance.

“Hamad Medical Corporation operates one of the most advanced ambulance services in the world. We are excited to bring ground-breaking technologies to their fleet in support of the Qatar 2030 vision for a sustainable society”, said Prakash.
GSA Modifies Contract with a REV Group Company to Include Electric Ambulances
In addition, REV Ambulance Group Orlando, Inc, a subsidiary of REV Group, Inc., announces its contract with the GSA has been amended to include zero-emissions Battery Electric ambulances from Wheeled Coach® and Leader®.
The addition of zero-emissions ambulances to the GSA contract is well-timed, with the recent passing of the federal infrastructure bill that contained significant investments in support of electric vehicles. GSA is the only source for non-tactical vehicles purchased by federal agencies in the United States. Agencies with access to this contract include the Department of Defense, the Department of Energy, the Veterans Health Administration, the National Park Service, and the Indian Health Services.
The ambulances for the above agreements are High Roof Ford T350 Transits, powered by Lightning eMotors, with 86kWh of battery capacity that can be charged via Level 2 AC charging or DC fast charging. The high roof and added length of the T350 increases the patient care space.
“We’re thrilled to partner with REV Group, combining their best-in-class ambulances with our best-in-class zero emissions powertrains,” said Tim Reeser, CEO and Co-Founder of Lightning eMotors. “We share REV’s vision that electric vehicles which transport our first responders and patients are a vital part of the future of pre-hospital care.”
