About

The idea for Hit the Road RV Summit was born during the early days of the pandemic, with millions of people looking for their safest and best travel options in 2020 and beyond. The answer was clear – an RV! Marc and Julie Bennett of RV Love recognized the urgent need for newbie RVers to get a ‘fast track’ education to help them hit the road safely. They quickly brought together some of the best RV lifestyle and industry experts to share their collective expertise and advice at the first Hit the Road RV Summit to help  prepare people for what it’s really like to live, work and travel in an RV. The first summit attracted over 4,500 people and was a huge success. In 2021, the summit event and speaker lineup doubled in size, and attracted sponsorships from several leading RV industry companies. The goal for the 2nd annual Hit the Road RV Summit is to help empower new and seasoned RVers alike with useful information, advice and tools on topics like: RV systems and safety, maintenance and repairs, working from the road, how to RV affordably, finding the best camping spots, and generally support RVers around making the lifestyle sustainable in the longer term. It is our collective mission to help as many people as possible avoid common mistakes, save money, stay safe out on the road, and have a positive experience in their RV life and travels.
Thank you very much for all the effort and time you put into the Summit, it was definitely worth it. Keep up the great work!
