In our latest episode of the Great Outdoors Series sponsored by Chevrolet we are in Perry, Georgia, with the nonprofit organization the National African American RVer’s Association Inc. (NAARVA), a group that embraces the RVing lifestyle to the fullest.

Comprising five clubs, NAARVA was founded outside of Cincinnati, Ohio, in the summer of 1993. To date, the organization has grown its membership to about 1,400 active RVers. The inspiration? Creating an organization that caters to the Black community and provides valuable RV (recreational vehicle) and camping education. 

To learn more about the essentials of RV living, our host Ciara Johnson will be meeting with two long-time NAARVA members, Iris and Ray Raines. The Raineses even give us a first look inside their RV and tell the story of what brought them to the RV lifestyle.

We hope by the end of this episode, you’ve learned something new about the lifestyle and possibly venture out to purchase your very own RV!
