"Days of our Lives" star Peter Reckell continues his support of all things green through appearance at, and purchase of Livin Lite Recreational Vehicle
Emmy-nominated actor, Peter Reckell single-handedly changed the face of daytime television with his creation of “Bo Brady”, the motorcycling rebel on NBC’s number one, longest running daytime program “Days Of Our Lives”. Reckell will greet fans, sign autographs, pose for photos and support the environmentally-friendly CAMPLITE travel trailer line by LIVIN LITE Recreational Vehicles, as he take possession of a CAMPLITE model custom built for him on Sunday, June 26th. Reckell will help raise awareness for the all-aluminum constructed trailer at the appearance which will run from 1:00 p.m. until 3:00 p.m. at the LIVIN LITE factory in Wakarusa, IN.
A devout environmentalist – bicycles, electric cars, conservation and recycling are a daily part of Peter’s life, and he can often be seen pedaling to work. His love of nature and concerns for the environment motivated him and his wife, singer Kelley Moneymaker to tear down their home and build and eco-friendly, fuel-efficient, solar-powered home, shipping the remains of their previous home to Mexico for reuse by Habitat for Humanity.
The LIVIN LITE eco-friendly CAMPLITE trailer is unique in that it is made entirely of aluminum and composites and contained no pressed woods or wood of any kind, making it 98% recyclable. One of the best features of the CAMPLITE trailer is that it is actually so light that it saves an exorbitant amount of gas because it can be pulled by almost any vehicle.

Thor Motor Coach’s A.C.E. 3rd Best Selling Gas Class A in April
Elkhart, IN – Today Thor Motor Coach released the latest Gas Class A model rankings from Statistical Surveys that named the single floor plan EVO29.1 A.C.E. Motorhome as the 3rd best selling motorhome for the month of April 2011. This follows the “Best of Show” award it earned at its debut a few months ago at the Louisville RV show. This is a clear sign that dealers, as well as retail customers, are pleased.
The EVO29.1 A.C.E. Motorhome was built with a focus on how a customer would use their coach. It offers the best features of a Class A and a Class C motorhome with an entry level price point. Retail customers are drawn to the clever features and innovative design. In short, it’s the answer to what many Class A and Class C shoppers want. President and CEO of Thor Motor Coach, Bill Fenech, responded to the A.C.E’s success stating, “It is very gratifying to see the retail success of the A.C.E. Motorhome. We took the blinders off in designing the A.C.E., and it’s a homerun. Our dealers love the product and many are commenting that it’s the best turning motorhome on their lot. Being #3 is encouraging; however we are more focused on building great products with great support. The numbers will follow.”
This same innovation and customer driven design is carried into the other Thor Motor Coach products. Thor Motor Coach strives to provide these “hot products” with a great emphasis on what retail customers are shopping for. This includes intelligent floor plans, a clever use of space, as well as industry leading exterior storage as illustrated by the Mega Storage feature offered on several products. Thor Motor Coach also offers an abundance of standard features at entry level price points and provides superior “after the sale” support. “We want to be everything to everybody, by offering an extraordinary value for your family.” Explained Dana Simon, Vice President of Gas Sales for Thor Motor Coach. He continued with what’s next, “Building on the success of the EVO29.1 with the EVO29.2.”
Thor Motor Coach will continue the evolution with the EVO29.2 A.C.E. Motorhome, which is set to be introduced in the coming weeks. With many territories left undefined and recently partnering with several new dealerships; Thor Motor Coach believes the evolutionary features of the “open concept” EVO29.2 floor plan with its enclosed bathroom will push the A.C.E’s success even further.
