Forest River Rogue Launches ‘Folds of Honor Special Edition’ – RVBusiness – Breaking RV Industry News

For the 2024 new model year, the Rogue and Rogue Armored lines of travel trailers, fifth-wheels, and toy haulers is the new Folds of Honor Special Edition.

Folds of Honor is a national organization that provides scholarships to families of America’s fallen or disabled military and first responders. Since 2007, Folds of Honor has awarded abut 44,000 scholarships, an impact of nearly $200 million.

For each Special Edition that is sold, Forest River will donate $1,000 to Folds of Honor in the customer’s name. In turn, Folds of Honor will supply a placard with the name and description of a fallen or disabled military and first responder to the owner to proudly display on their coach.

Among other things, the optional package features Folds of Honor graphics on the exterior and a number of accessories, such as patriotic bedding, linen and signage, that carry the theme through on the inside.

The partnership came about when Sales Manager Bradley Short came across Folds of Honor and was struck by their mission.

“It hit me like a brick,” he said, “so I looked into it a little deeper. Look, there’s a bunch of charities out there that are doing a bunch of good work. But the thing that got me about Folds of Honor was the fact that 91 cents out of every dollar goes to the intended recipient. Their message and their mission is pure. And it’s something that I could really get behind.

“So, I went to them and said, ‘Would you be interested in partnering with our division on building a coach?’” Short said.

Three days later, the agreement was in place and the Folds of Honor Special Edition package for the Vengeance Rogue brand was launched.

“We were able to get this done in such a short amount of time because it’s pure,” Short explained. “We absolutely support what these guys are doing and we want to help them through building our RVs, and we want people to look at this and know that they’re making a difference in the family members’ lives of a wounded or fallen service member.”

Short and the rest of the team at Vengeance Rogue – including Product Manager Jerry Sell, who gets emotional when describing the partnership – are excited at being able to support such a worthy organization.

“We’re really good at building RVs and we’re really, really good at building toy haulers,” Short said. “But now we’re not just building toy haulers anymore. We’re building toy haulers and helping an organization out there with pure hearts, and they’re making a huge difference for the families of our fallen and disabled heroes – the people who make this nation great through their service to this country.”
