Last post by aimee - October 11, 2024, 05:08:18 PMMeet Adam Dunker: Co-Owner and Flexible Craftsman at Hoosier Custom Cruiser RV
In the bustling world of RV manufacturing, it's not every day you meet a young owner who can truly do it all. Meet Adam Dunker, a dynamic co-owner of Hoosier Custom Cruiser, whose hands-on expertise and dedication are shaping the future of custom RVs.
A Passion Ignited Early
Adam's journey in the RV industry began fresh out of school in 2007, when he started his career in welding. His skills and passion for the craft quickly saw him taking on multiple roles within the industry. "I started welding in the RV industry," Adam recalls with a smile, acknowledging the unusual path that led him to where he is today.
A Versatile Contributor
At Hoosier Custom Cruiser, Adam's role goes beyond his title as owner. He's deeply involved in the nuts and bolts of RV manufacturing, quite literally.

His commitment ensures that every process meets the highest standards of quality and efficiency.
More Than Just Metal
While Adam steers clear of plumbing and electrical work, his expertise encompasses nearly every other aspect of RV construction. Today, he's hands-on with welding and grinding on the chassis, showcasing the dedication and skill that have earned him a co-owner spot despite his relatively young age in such a complex industry.

General Discussion / Let's Get This Ball Rolling! (...
Last post by aimee - July 08, 2024, 11:46:16 AMHey, All! I thought we could get this ball rolling with a little bit of an intro thread!
I'm Aimée, I handle the website (front and back end), the forum, social media, and marketing for Hoosier Cruiser RV. I grew up camping in anything from Class A's to Popups as my dad was an RV salesman for a large RV dealership in Indiana. I really love the camping community, and I'm glad to be back in it in whatever capacity I can be.
I own a custom software company (ElixWare) and it gives me a lot of freedom to be a digital nomad. I try to take advantage of that however I can. I have four grown children and a 7 yr old that keep me on my toes, but I'm usually available here or you can reach me in a couple of ways:
aimee@elixware.com or if I don't respond right away, try my daughter/project manager, chloe@elixware.com
We currently live in Kentucky right at the edge of the Red River Gorge and we love taking advantage of that weekly or even multiple times weekly!
What about you?
