RVTV Network Launches ‘RVer’s Top Talent’ Reality Show – RVBusiness – Breaking RV Industry News
Dan Dominski, co-founder and creator of RVTV and vice president of sponsorships, content and programming for the network, launched its newest show on May 19. “RVer’s Top Talent” is a talent competition for campgrounds and campers across the U.S., according to a press release.
Working closely with OHI, the new show will be dedicated to discovering talent in campgrounds over the next year, featuring the best “RVer’s Top Talent” on seven episodes over 14 weeks nationwide, with the premier episode launching Sept. 8 at 9 p.m. EST.
The show offers sponsorships for campground owners looking for an easy way to engage guests and earn national recognition for their RV parks or campgrounds. RVTV invites campgrounds and parks to take part in the “RVer’s Top Talent” competition launch by showcasing campers’ musical, singing, comedy, juggling, dancing, or any other talent that lends to family fun.
The initial submissions for the contest can be uploaded at https://www.rvtv.tv/submit, with an easy-to-use form online on the RVTV website. Complete rules for the contest are on the site.
If a guest from an RV park or campground wins or places in the national contest, the campground gets a $1,000 referral bonus and a $5,000 RVTV advertising credit. If the campground donates the referral bonus to a local cause or employee helping-hand initiative, RVTV will double it.
“There’ll be seven bi-weekly winners and there’s a new episode every other week for a total of 14 airings,” said Dominski. “As soon as the episode ends, people can start voting, and then they vote for almost the entire two weeks up until that following Sunday night. Then each winner moves on to the finals.
“The eighth episode will be the final one,” he added. “There will be seven winners, and then we have celebrity judges as well who will pick three more winners for a total of 10.”
“RVer’s Top Talent” will be hosted by Broadway star Dave Thomas Brown. Winners will also be announced during the Tampa Show in January 2026 at the Lippert Components Inc. booth.
RVTV was founded in 2023 and went live on DIRECTV last September. Dominski stated that it now has about a million unique viewers per quarter and has been watched by over two million RVers who subscribe to DIRECTV alone. The network is also on Roku, Amazon and local platforms as well.
“We just hope to find campgrounds and campers who know somebody who has award-winning talent,” he said. “Whoever that referrer is gets $1,000, and it’s super easy to upload. They can do it on their iPhone or simply go to our website, upload and fill in basic information. We have a 12-second video that’s Instagramable, and then we have a static image with a QR code where people can click on it to go right to the entry page and the contest rules.”
