Turning Vintage Trailers Into Innovative Spaces for RV Life With Nate Stover | RVE 314
Today we're diving into the other side of RV Entrepreneurism, the renovation and building side of Vintage RV Trailers with Nate Stover, the Owner, Head Builder & Designer at Innovative Spaces. From an early age, Nate became involved in the trades from building furniture to eventually building entire homes. His work has taken him through a myriad of crafts which have constantly been stretched to new limits in the small spaces and vintage trailer world. The trailers he works on at Innovative Spaces give him the opportunity to stretch all that he has learned and acquired through his years of experience to their full potential. Along with his previous building skills, he is also able to exercise his creative skills to produce something truly unique and functional. Every project that leaves the Innovative Spaces yard represents their ingenuity and years of craftsmanship, but most importantly YOU the customer! In this episode, Nate describes the process of renovating vintage Airstreams, the challenges of budling in small spaces and how he creatively scaled his super niched business! We also discuss the importance of embracing community, collaborating with the customer, and for the DIYers, the importance of getting professional help when installing electric!

Overlanding Inspires Dylan Brown to Launch Terra Bikes Electric Motorcycles - RVE 313
Dylan Brown lives the go and do kind of RV life. His early car camping and extensive overlanding experience plus a love for motocross sports led him to launch Terra Bikes. As an entrepreneur often on the go, he gained first hand experience launching a major manufacturing business from his garage. Terra Bikes are the new low powered electric motorcycle designed and fabricated at Dylan's shop in Colorado. These are in no way your typical pedal assist e-bike. Terra Bikes are true long travel scrambler style dirt bikes built to climb anywhere and go fast. And, they're a lightweight alternative to your traditional toad for any size RV or van. Dylan describes the challenges of launching a manufacturing business in the regulation-filled vehicle niche with licensing requirements which may differ by state. We discuss the importance of identifying your target market, and the benefit of providing customization. You'll learn tips for ramping up production as a new on demand manufacturer, and what steps are necessary to take your business to the next level.

Someone to be there for you, advocating for you and keeping you on track especially on those down days? Maybe you're just not sure what all your business offerings are worth? Or maybe your inner critic is a bit out of control lately and you need help managing your mind and emotions better! In this episode, we have the pleasure of speaking with Holly C.
