Chassis to Classy represents everything RV Women’s Alliance stands for — collaboration, opportunity, and the power of community,” said Susan Carpenter, President of RVWA. “This project showcases what’s possible when our industry comes together with a shared purpose, while creating meaningful impact that extends far beyond the vehicle itself.”
