Charles Hoefer
CEO, Chief Product Architect
Charles has a storied life in and around the RV industry. His father turned the North American industry on its head several times over from the 1980's to the 2000's. Charles' experience began in apprenticeship to his father, learning the industry from his youth.
Charles is a creative entrepreneur. He was a Presidential Scholar at Babson College, the USA's #1 entrepreneurship university. Charles prior served as CEO of two RV builders, and directed a waterpark, golf course, and pro sports event. He created the world's first carbon fibre RV.
Charles loves to tackle new challenges. Figuring out how to cut 50% of the weight from a conventional RV while keeping costs in line offered plenty of them. Charles is driven by an overriding principle that the RV industry needs to stop chewing natural resources, and reduce towing MPG.
