Greg Gerber

Greg Gerber founded RV Daily Report on April Fools Day 2009. He has been involved in the RV industry since January 2000 when he started work as editor-in-chief of RV Trade Digest, based in Fort Atkinson, Wisc. In 2007, he left that position to launch a new publication called RV Industry News. When that magazine folded at the beginning of the Great Recession, he opted to start over, this time focusing solely on digital publication.

Being ultra conservative and very pro-business, Greg was the RV industry's first business-to-business blogger. He was also the first journalist to publish a biweekly newsletter, and then a daily newsletter.

A native of Wisconsin, where he was born and raised, Greg fled that state in August 2009, shorly after the snow finally melted. He currently resides in Sun City, Ariz., where he enjoys endless opportunities to camp, bike, hike and bask in the heat. He has a bachelor's degree in public relations from the University of Wisconsin - Whitewater. He is a loyal Packers fan who would walk across the desert on his knees for an In-N-Out Burger Double Double.

Greg is a DODO -- dad of daughters only -- who recently gained his first son when his baby got married. Greg is active in Scouting and mentors a young man through the Big Brothers Big Sisters program. In his spare time, Greg leads 70-plus fourth and fifth graders every week in helping them to develop a closer relationship to Christ.

Greg can be reached by calling 602.910.4400 or by e-mail at editor@rvdailyreport.com.

It's Tax Day -- Let's party like we work for GSA!
by Greg Gerber on Tuesday, April 17, 2012
(April 17, 2012) -- Here it is, April 17, Tax Day in America. It's the day working Americans have to settle their accounts with the government who already gave out a boat load of money and other entitlements to people who chose not to work. In December, Senator Tom Coburn (R-Okla.) issued a paper that outlined the most wasteful examples of government spending of the year. More importantly, are you paying your "fair share?"
The Chinese even knock off websites
by Greg Gerber on Thursday, March 22, 2012
(March 22, 2012) -- This morning, I received an e-mail from a company in Anhui, China. They claimed to be a network service company representing another company called TianHua Company. TianHua was planning to register a domain I once owned, but with the .cn extension. They were staking claim to www.americasrvmall.com.cn.

Although I no longer own the domain www.americasrvmall.com, the fact that the Chinese are seeking to register similar names with a .cn extension leads me to believe they are going to start holding American companies hostage in cyberspace. Imagine the chaos that would be created if a Chinese company registered www.blueox.cn or www.fantasticvent.com.cn.

Should the RV industry embrace China?
by Greg Gerber on Monday, March 19, 2012

A few weeks ago, the RV Industry Association announced it was opening an office in China.

According to an official press release submitted by RVIA March 6, "The office will coordinate the association’s efforts to work with Chinese governmental agencies and the country’s developing RV and campground industries to remove regulatory barriers impeding the United States RV industry’s growth in China."

Impeding the RV industry's growth in China? For some reason, I think it will work the other way around. The office will be a communications portal to ensuring that Chinese goods and services find their way into American RV dealerships.

Feds seek jail for 65-year-old campground polluter
by Greg Gerber on Friday, March 16, 2012
(March 16, 2012) -- Today, the Environmental Protection Agency is seeking to sentence a 65-year-old Iowa campground owner to up to 14 months in jail. Her felony? She disturbed a protected "wetland" by discharging harmful pollutants. This story just reeks of government abuse and regulatory overreach.

What pollutants would demand more than a year in jail? In this case, dirt and rocks.  Excuse me, but aren't creek beds made of dirt and rock?  If so, how in God's name could they ever be considered a pollutant, let alone a pollutant worthy of a felony conviction and more than a year in jail?

Should RV manufacturers mark up RVIA seals?
by Greg Gerber on Wednesday, March 14, 2012
(March 15, 2012) -- News last week that the RV Industry Association would lower the price for its inspection seals prompted one RV dealer to compare the stated prices to his actual invoices. He discovered that several RV manufacturers mark up the cost of the seals and pass that cost on to RV dealers -- something he doesn't think is right.
