COBURG, Ore.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Monaco RV, one of the nation's leading manufacturers of recreational
vehicles, announces a strategic partnership with entrepreneurs Jason and
Nikki Wynn, the creative team behind "Gone with the Wynns," an
interactive website and popular video web series of the same name.
The Wynns travel the country in their new Monaco Vesta in search of the
greatest and greenest RV adventures America has to offer, while
producing a series of short videos that document where they are, what
they're doing and who they meet. It began as a way to provide a visual
journal of sorts for their friends and family to enjoy. A way to stay
connected. "We knew we wanted to take advantage of today's social media,
like YouTube, Facebook and Twitter," explained Jason. "Once we knew this
was something that could be opened up to the general public, it just
took off."
The idea has blossomed into the website and video series "Gone with the
Wynns." (Visit www.gonewiththewynns.com).
Each 3-5 minute webisode, hosted by Nikki and shot and edited by Jason,
is a reflection of the Wynns' infectious personalities and diverse
interests. "From a music and art festival in Nevada, to exploring the
wetlands of the Mississippi River," explained Nikki, "we hope RVers from
all walks of life find inspiration for their next trip, and even offer
their own suggestions."
When the Wynns were seeking a new class A motorhome that was
eco-friendly, easy to drive and would fit their youthful lifestyle, they
turned to the 2011 Monaco Vesta 32PBS. "We love the Vesta's clean,
modern design and eco-friendly features," said Jason, "including
energy-efficient windows, the clean-burning fuel-efficient diesel engine
and optional LED lighting and solar panels."
The Wynns, their two cats, Cleo and Singa, and their new Vesta,
nicknamed "Windy," are scheduled to make several stops throughout the
Western states, including Breckenridge, Colo.; Taos, N.M.; Dana Point
and Indio, Calif.. New webisodes will be posted to the website weekly,
along with a "tip of the day," featuring RV and environmental-related
tips.
You can also follow the Wynns via Facebook or Twitter through links on
their website. Via the "Contact" page on the site, they strongly
encourage suggestions for cool destinations, events or local food spots.
Their videos are also viewable through video sharing sites YouTube and
Vimeo.
"We seized the unique opportunity to partner with Jason and Nikki Wynn
for the ‘Gone with the Wynns' venture," explained Ryan Lee, director of
marketing for Monaco RV. "They love their new Vesta and their passion
for RVing and the outdoors are sure to raise awareness to consumers who
may not have considered RVing before, while helping to drive prospective
buyers to dealers' lots.
"The Wynns are youthful, active, green-minded and eco-conscious, which
isn't something people always associate with RVers. Partnering with
Jason and Nikki is a unique way for us to get our products in front of a
demographic group that is largely new to the RV market. They Wynns are
great people, talented professionals and tremendous ambassadors. We're
proud to have them representing Monaco RV, our products and the RV
lifestyle."
