Dave Helgeson has been around travel trailers his entire life. His grandparents and father owned an RV dealership long before the term “RV” had been coined. He has served in every position of an RV dealership with the exception of bookkeeping. Dave served as President of a local chapter of the RVDA (Recreational Vehicle Dealers Association), was on the board of advisors for the RV Technician Program of a local technical college and was a board member of the Manufactured Home and RV Association. He and his wife Cheri operated their own RV dealership for many years and for the past 29 years have managed RV shows. Dave presents seminars at RV shows across the country and was referred to as "The foremost expert on boondocking" by the late Gary Bunzer, "The RV Doctor". Dave and his wife are currently on their fifth travel trailer with Dave doing all the service, repair and modifications on his own unit.

They may be strong enough but I think I’ll keep the wheels on the ground! To many things get moved around going down the road, I’d hate to think of what it’d look like flying through the air. Lol

That’s why we haven’t purchased a Gulfstream G550 RV.

Heck yes! If strong enough to overcome gravity than certinly strong enough to pull a sleigh with an over stuffed Santa.
