308. Noovo's Story, Lippert & Patrick Break Up, Trails Covered in Dog Poop

From Zion National Park after our first night in a Noovo Plus camper van, we discuss the termination of merger talks between Patrick Industries and Lippert Components, we interview with Paul from Noovo Vans, covering the company’s Skoolie origin as “My Bus Hotel,” its pivot during COVID into manufacturing, its production process and quality control approach, listening to owner feedback, and its simplified model/option strategy and pricing philosophy.  *Get links and more in the show notes at https://RVMiles.com/408 *Support RV Miles and independent RV journalism 👉 https://rvmiles.com/milemarkers *Curated, not Regurgitated.
