Premiums and Incentives

As Canada's leading RV dealership network, RV World's shareowners wanted to create a new RV store with an updated look for the new millennium. At the same time, they wanted to uphold the strong family values cherished by all RV families. They thought those values were best upheld by the writing of Earl Hamner in the popular TV program from the 70's, "The Waltons". For this reason they named the new store "Waltons RV World".

This Two Layer Custom Cotton Throw is given to their customers who purchase a RV from them as a promotional premium or "Thank you" for buying.

Designing a custom cotton throw is simple. The house is a "line drawing" of the Walton's home in Schuyler, Virginia and the motor home is the front end of a Winnebago RV. In the customer's words "The good folks at Kanata designed the picture from photos we provided."
