Rod LeMond: From Career Knowledge to Permanent Passion

Entering the RV Industry in a Time of Uncertainty:

In 2009, amidst a period of industry uncertainty, Rod LeMond embarked on his career in the RV industry. Wearing many hats as a new employee, he entered a challenging market while interest rates were through the roof, many families were losing their homes, and no-one knew where the RV industry was headed. Little did he know that this would be the beginning of an exciting journey. Working closely with experienced technicians, Rod quickly acquired extensive knowledge about various RV models, their chassis, and systems. His job required tasks anywhere from writing service orders, to ordering parts, and even quality control inspection. With a small team and a diverse range of responsibilities, Rod's eagerness to learn and willingness to go beyond his job description paved the way for his success as a knowledgeable Sales Consultant today.

Becoming a Part of the Family:

With his wealth of experience, Rod relocated to Bend, Oregon, the heart of the Pacific Northwest, where he joined the close-knit family of Beaver Coach Sales and Service. Initially serving as a Service Writer, Rod played a vital role in helping customers get back on the road. However, his hunger for new challenges led him to apply for a Sales Consultant position when it became available. This transition allowed him to share his passion for RVs with both new owners and those looking to upgrade their dreams.

From Technician, to Consumer, to Salesman:

After years of dedicated work in the RV industry, Rod and his wife finally realized their dream of owning an RV. Since buying their first travel-trailer in 2015, they have spent countless weekends exploring different campsites from the lush forests of the Pacific Northwest, to the sun-drenched deserts of Arizona. Rod's personal experiences as an avid traveler have given him a unique perspective, as he now not only sells RVs but also lives and breathes the outdoor adventure lifestyle that his customers aspire to.
