RV enthusiasts all over the U.S. are discovering the RV Art Gallery! With a purchase from an RV’ing Alaskan, The RV Art Gallery added a 44th state to their tally of states with a ship to address.
According to Jerry Bergman, General Manager of the RV Art Gallery, California leads in sales with the NYC metro area and the Greater Washington D.C. close behind. The Dallas-Ft. Worth metroplex and Atlanta, Georgia round out the top 5.
The newest items available at the Gallery are RV theme cloth, an RV Quilt and a 2010 calendar featuring vintage travel trailer art.
The RV Art Gallery unveiled an RV theme quilt today. RV’ers that enjoy the RV Lifestyle will love this “56 x 70″ quilt handmade by Cathy Nelson. Mrs. Nelson is a charter member of the Heartland Quilter Guild, and past member of the board of Directors of the Missouri State Quilting Guild. She has been making quilts for 30 years.
According to Jerry Bergman, General Manager of the RV Art Gallery,”This is the completion of a 2 year effort to create a quilt celebrating RV’ing.”
In 2007, Bergman contacted Clothworks Textiles, a Seattle, Washington Fabric designer and wholesaler. Clothworks specializes in creating high quality cotton fabric especially for quilters and distributes to fabric stores all over the nation.
Artist Richard Neuman, already known for his RV Artwork, utilized existing RV themes and created new ones just for the “Happy Camper” Theme.
According to Clothworks, response to the theme greatly exceeded expectations. After the first production run sold out, a 2nd run was required to meet the additional demand.
Interested Quilters download the RV Quilt Pattern and sewing instructions from Clothworks and order the material from the RV Art Gallery. Additionally, this fabric lends itself to other sewing projects, shirts, aprons, place mats, drapes and curtains; literally any project that utilizes high quality cotton fabric.
The RV Art Gallery announced today the availability of “The Happy Camper” fabric collection. Featuring RV themes by artist Richard Neuman, the cloth is high quality 100% cotton sheeting, ideal for quilt making, and other custom, handmade fabric items.
The collection is produced by Seattle, WA based Clothworks. Clothworks is a fabric design and wholesaler distributing to independent quilt shops nation wide. The RV Art Gallery is pleased to retail the “Happy Camper” collection of RV theme designs.
Quilt makers can download the RV Quilt Pattern from Clothworks, or interested customers can order the completed quilt from the RV Art Gallery.
In addition to the quilt, The RV Art Gallery is producing custom made to order, Hawaiian style shirts, kitchen aprons, and pot holders.
According to Jerry Bergman, General Manager of the RV Art Gallery, “Today is the culmination of a phone call to Clothworks almost 2 years ago. I suggested that Clothworks produce a collection to appeal to those enjoying the RV lifestyle.”
According to Clothworks, orders for “Happy Camper” have exceeded expectations. The entire collection was sold out to pre ordering retailers by delivery in April 2009. Clothworks has reordered to meet continued demand. Delivery of the second production order is slated for June 2009.

Jerry Bergman, General Manager of Texarkana (Texas) KOA, added 25 sites to his park since last March for a total of 63 in anticipation of a continuing construction boom in the area that includes a new oil pipeline, a $120 million road project and an anticipated 600-megawatt electric generating plant.
“That added up to a lot of construction workers needing monthly RV sites,” said Bergman, who converted the RV sites from vacant mobile home pads that were on the same property. “It was pretty easy to covert them because the electric was already there,” he said.
Even with an increase in monthly rentals to construction workers, overnight travelers aren’t being pushed aside. “We still have plenty of sites for them,” Bergman said, noting, though, that RVers in transit are “slightly less than last year.”
“We usually get a lot of snowbirds going back and forth, but we haven’t seen as many this year,” he said.
Bergman also oversees what he calls the nation’s largest RV art gallery with more than 200 objects, including 88 prints – some that he commissioned – miniatures, clothing and other items. “We think it’s an interesting way to celebrate the RV lifestyle,” said Bergman, who opened the gallery in 2005.
