In a message to aftermarket supplier companies that are members of the RV Industry Association (RVIA), committee chairman John Tinghitella of RV Designer, announced the addition of four new members to the RV Aftermarket Committee: Mike Boyer, of GE Appliances Kurt Forsman of the Derema Group, John Hawkins of BAL Norco and Laura Petee of Thetford.

“This group brings a wide spectrum of background, insight, new ideas and passion to our leadership efforts, and the team’s collective background touches all aspects of the segment from wholesale distributors and suppliers to media and manufacturer agents,” Tinghitella said.

The complete RV Aftermarket Committee includes:

  • Tracy Anglemeyer, RV Technical Institute (staff liaison)
  • Mike Boyer, GE
  • Chris Cieto, RVBusiness Magazine (media liaison)
  • Kurt Forsman, Derema Group
  • John Hawkins, BAL Norco
  • Mike Hesse, Blue Ox
  • Steve Johnson, Northern Wholesale

The Aftermarket segment features nearly 100 RVIA members, all dedicated to a great consumer parts and accessories outcome for RVers, Tinghitella continued.

“Back in 2017 when the former RVAA was absorbed into the RV Industry Association, we re-wrote our charter to reflect the paramount importance of focusing on the RV consumer and working our way back through the supply chain,” he said. “Our signature moment each year is the RV Aftermarket Conference in August that brings our membership together for three full days of private and large group meetings, informational Industry sessions, and networking.”

“If you would like to get more involved or have partners interested in joining our membership, please reach out to me or Tracy Anglemeyer,” Tinghitella added.
