Welcome to Our RV Advocacy Website
We’re excited to welcome you to our new RV Advocacy website—created for the RV community, not the RV industry. We’re Pete and Lisa, also known as @WestsOnTheMove. We began our full-time RV journey in 2022, knowing almost nothing, and we’ve learned a lot since then.
While we’ve found the RV community to be incredibly warm and supportive, our experiences with dealerships and manufacturers have often left us frustrated, discouraged, and even angry. And we know we’re not alone.
Sound familiar?
Have you ever known more about the RV you were shopping for than the salesperson?
Have you had to fight tooth and nail just to get your RV repaired through a dealership or directly from the RV assembly / manufacturing company?
Have you felt like your RV manufacturer was gaslighting you?
Have you ever had your RV manufacturer not honor your repair warranty?
The list goes on! If so, you’re in the right place.
This website is here to offer:
Encouragement for those feeling overwhelmed or disheartened
Education about the realities of the RV industry
Resources to help you thrive in your RV lifestyle
Advocacy to push for better standards and accountability
Strength to stand up for yourselves against the RV industry
We believe that only by coming together can we create meaningful, lasting change.

To the RV Community: It’s Time for Honest Conversations
Across the RV industry—regardless of brand name, price point, or how “premium” the marketing looks—the same patterns continue to surface. Emotional advertising, influencer partnerships, and carefully curated online communities are used to build loyalty and trust. Too often, that trust is tested only after the sale, when serious issues arise and support falls short.
We currently operate three RV consumer advocacy platforms under different names, and we see the same issues repeated again and again. New brands with polished images and higher price tags are not immune. In fact, they often follow the same playbook as legacy manufacturers: rebranding, aggressive marketing, and positioning themselves as “different,” while underlying quality, service, and accountability problems persist. Buybacks and forced resolutions are not signs of innovation—they are evidence of failures that reached a breaking point.
This is not about a few bad units or isolated complaints. It is a systemic industry problem. Safety concerns, build quality defects, and prolonged service delays are routinely minimized or normalized. Warranty processes are slow and inconsistent, communication is poor, and the financial and emotional burden often lands squarely on the consumer.
When these practices are excused or defended, the cycle continues. More buyers are misled. More families lose time, money, and confidence in equipment they relied on. And the industry has little incentive to change.
The encouraging news is that more RV owners are speaking up. Stories are being shared, patterns are being documented, and consumers are beginning to compare experiences instead of marketing claims. That awareness matters—but real change requires more voices and sustained pressure.
RV ownership should not require navigating gaslighting, uncertainty, or avoidable safety risks. It’s time to demand meaningful accountability, clearer standards, and stronger consumer protections—including federal construction and safety regulations comparable to those long established in the housing and automotive industries.
You deserve transparency.
You deserve reliability.
You deserve better—and so does the RV community as a whole.
