CampersWeather DOT COM Launched


CAMPERSWEATHER DOT COM LAUNCHED

Immediate Release

January 28, 2014 -- Tom Raper RVs announced today the launch of www.campersweather.com, a new website especially for campers and outdoor enthusiasts featuring weather forecasts, current conditions and weather alerts.

The website, Facebook page, Twitter and a soon to be released mobile app are all free and also include live weather radar, up to the minute weather maps and weather related news.

“The weather is the one thing that all campers keep their eye on before and during their camping trip”, said Tom Raper RVs President Dave Bane, “we felt it important to provide this free service to all campers to help them in their planning and to make their outdoor experience safer and more enjoyable.”

“Campers don’t always have access to traditional TV and radio or even electricity when outdoors”, Bane added, “however, by using their smart phones, and other mobile devices, they can stay informed of the ever changing weather conditions and make plans accordingly”.

Weather forecasts and severe weather tracking is managed by Brandon Redmond, a professional weather forecaster who founded IndianaWeatherOnline.com in 1999. Brandon contributes his weather expertise to numerous media outlets around the Midwest as well.

During the initial launch of CampersWeather.com, custom weather information is available year-around for Indiana and Western Ohio with other regions accessing weather data provided by National Weather Service.

About Tom Raper RV
In 1964, Tom Raper didn't set out to be the largest RV dealer in the Midwest. That's just what happens when you provide your customers the best RV's at the best prices while backing each sale with professional and courteous service. Today, the Tom Raper Family of stores includes a 60-acre complex in Richmond, and stores in Columbus, Ohio and Cincinnati. Each location features a full-line of new and pre-owned recreational vehicles from tent campers to diesel pushers from the top manufacturers in America. The goal of each of our 200 employees is to meet or exceed our customers' expectations. If for any reason we ever fall short, I ask that you please let me know. I can't fix a problem if I don't know about it. Thank you for considering joining the Tom Raper RV's Family.

I read the APP reviews and did not find any that were positive.
But they may all be from before their latest fix of bugs.

Well, this is certainly marketing 101 at it's finest. There are already 100's of weather apps available for any platform smartphone that will automatically keep track of where you are and push weather alerts and provide radar and local conditions. For example, the app from WeatherUnderground.com is what I use. If you visit the website above it's nothing more than an ad platform for the dealership. Thanks for the info, but I'll pass! :-)
