LINCOLNSHIRE, IL--(Marketwired - Apr 15, 2015) - Camping World, the nation's largest RV and outdoor retailer, and Good Sam, the world's largest RV owners organization, announce today the winners of their Hello Camping World RV Sweepstakes, which corresponded with a national radio sponsorship that kicked off the launch of the company's rebranding campaign, titled Hello Camping World. The sweepstakes was part of Camping World's sponsorship with Westwood One radio, and included a grand prize of a new 2015 Heartland Prowler 27LX travel trailer among other giveaways such as NASCAR tickets and gift cards.
The Hello Camping World campaign was created to showcase the great adventures that can be enjoyed in the RV lifestyle between family and friends, and how a variety of outdoor accessories such as grills, chairs, coolers and patio furniture can be integrated in a camping trip to enhance the experience.
"Camping World is pleased with our recent sponsorship with Westwood One, and we received an overwhelming positive response from across the country while launching our new Hello Camping World campaign," commented Marcus Lemonis, CEO and Chairman of Camping World and Good Sam and host of CNBC's reality series, The Profit. "Our goal was to create an awareness of the outdoor and RV lifestyle and give the community an opportunity to see how a camping trip can turn into a dream vacation with Camping World."
Winners for the four grand prizes and weekly gift card drawings were pulled from over 55,000 entries received between February and April during Camping World's sweepstakes. Barbara Mutchler, of Minonk, Illinois, was selected as the first grand prize winner to receive the new 2015 Heartland Travel Trailer, who has plans to travel to different state parks and campgrounds with her family in their new RV.
