Samantha Bose – Founder of Ace Adventure Co.; RVWA Charitable Foundation Board Member
There are 3 defining moments that shaped her love for the RV industry.
The first was staying in a cabin with Girl Scouts. As a tomboy, Samantha loved the outdoor activities, but what stayed with her most was the sisterhood and she later found that powerful connection with RVWA.
The second moment came during a high school Outdoor Education trip where she kayaked through freezing rain to an island and camped in extreme conditions. Some students were sent home with hypothermia, while others slept side by side for warmth. It was intense, but she never felt more alive! That experience sparked her passion for adventure and pushing boundaries.
The third moment was in college when Samantha attended her first RV show and fell in love with the lifestyle. Like so many, this is where the “someday I’ll buy an RV and travel the country” dream was born. Years later, after losing loved ones, she realized that dream isn’t guaranteed: she wanted to live a “retired life” now while she still could, and inspire others to do the same.
So she purchased a camper van, and has spent the past seven years traveling with her family. With over 20 years in photography, she began working with RV companies on content and storytelling before launching ACE Adventure Co., an adventure and event company that hosts camping experiences that give back. This led her to create a purpose-led outdoor community that turns adventure into connection and impact, as well as designing multiple RV concepts for future production with a consumer’s eye. Through real-world experience Samantha aims to bridge the gap between buyers and sellers, bring a fresh perspective, spark innovation, and help elevate the industry to better serve today’s campers.
“I am honored to be a part of RVWA, knowing it will change the camping industry forever!”
