Wagonmaster
and Top Turtle:
Company founder, Teri Fahrendorf, recently had the first part of a three-part
article published by Tales & Trails, the national teardrop enthusiast
publication. You can click here for the full text and recipes of A
Teardrop Adventure: 24 Days on the Road.
Teri
got her first taste of adventure, camping with her family in Wisconsin
in a pop-up trailer. In her 10th year, the family of six road-tripped
to New England for three weeks. At 18 she attended a 26-day Outward Bound
course at the Hurricane Island School in Maine. Later at the University
of Wisconsin at Eau Claire, Teri was an active member and treasurer of
Hobnailers, the campus outdoors club.
As the founder of
RV Caravan Tours, Teri developed the company and the tours after her 24-day
road trip around the West in 1999 (see link above). RV Caravan Tours went
"Live" on August 9, 2000, with the debut of this website.

| Since
1990 Teri has lived in and explored Oregon. Prior to that she lived in and
explored Northern California. Teri brings her enthusiasm for adventure,
the outdoors, and her unique organizational skills to RV Caravan Tours.
She has designed each of our special tours to give you the quintessential
Pacific Northwest experience. She really thinks you'll have fun on your
tour, and she looks forward to sharing local and historical narrative over
the CB radio.
Teri's mundane life
is anything but mundane; she's a brewmaster with 13 years of experience
in the microbrewing industry. Previous to that, Teri was a systems analyst
with a Fortune 100 computer company in Minneapolis and San Francisco.
We
encourage you to call us on our toll free number 1-866-324-8084, or e-mail
us at ,
and get to know us before you make your decision to tour with us!

Little
Buddy:
Little Buddy follows us around during our research trips. He's been all
over the west, especially the pacific northwest. Little Buddy is a vintage
1999 teardrop camper. Please see our Links page for more information on
teardrops. |
 |
Big
Bertha:
Big Bertha is a 29 foot Class C motorhome. We've removed the bed from the
rear bedroom so we have room to store our portable fire pit, charcoal grills,
camp chairs, firewood, charcoal, and other supplies we need to outfit our
tours for you. |
 |
Our
Mascot:
Rudi Valenturtle
is our logo, and yes, his initials are "RV". Rudi takes his
home with him when he travels, just like a Recreational Vehicle, and he's
got wheels for feet because he's on a road trip. He's looking back over
his shoulder to make sure the next turtle in the caravan is there behind
him. The friendly red door shows that folks are welcome, and he's got
the globe in the background because there's a lot to see in this big old
world.
Rudi represents the
concept of Slow Travel, because you can't be in a big hurry if
you really want to experience a place. Join Rudi on an RV Caravan Tours
adventure, and experience each geographical region one section at a time.
