ULTIMATE CAMP COOKING

Camping is one of America’s favorite past-times, a time to relax and let go of the stresses that life dishes out. Many people think of an excursion into the forest as “roughing it,” of leaving the comforts of civilization behind. While ditching the big screen TV back home is part of the camping experience, ULTIMATE CAMP COOKING leaves the hot dogs and freeze-dried pouches of powder behind as well in exchange for the choicest cuts of meat, the freshest vegetables and the most scrumptious fish. The good life, filled with mouth-wateringly delicious dishes prepared by the funniest chefs around! Your hosts, Ultimate Camp Chefs and Comedians Pat Mac and Mike Faverman, show you how to cook and grill with the right supplies, on a reasonable budget and create healthy yet delicious campground dishes. They will also demonstrate how to get the very best out of a Dutch oven, grill, foil wrap, and stove top cooking all with plenty of laughs along the way!

KLEENSPEED ELECTRIC BIKES
TO DEBUT AT RV SHOW

KleenSpeed Electric Bikes, called E-Bikes, will make their Minnesota debut at the Minneapolis RV Show. More RVers are using electric bikes because electric bikes are:

• Easier to use and more efficient. You can bike twice as far in half the time.
• Easy to transport and ready to go – No time spent unhooking your towed vehicle.
• Economic and Environmentally-friendly – Doesn’t use the fuel that towing a destination vehicle consumes, both on the way to a destination and while using at the destination (i.e., car, jeep, etc.)
• The perfect fit with RVers active, outdoor lifestyle.

KleenSpeed has teamed up exclusively with Quality RV, the Midwest’s Fifth Wheel dealer, to provide a special offer during the RV Show. When you purchase Montana or Cougar fifth wheels, Coachmen Class A and Class C motorhomes from Quality RV at the show, you will receive a FREE KleenSpeed E-Bike – a value worth more than $1,000! So be sure to visit Quality RV at Booths 1401 and 1423.

Ride the new KleenSpeed E-Bikes at the KleenSpeed Bike Demo area and learn about the future of electric vehicle technology during one of the KleenSpeed seminars. Once you ride the KleenSpeed E-Bike, you’ll understand why so many RVers are using electric bikes for transportation and recreation at their destinations!
