Mark Summers
Host
Some of the best ideas come out of the blue. What could be better than playing with the kinds of toys you love? That's the premise behind Summers' RV Buddies. Mark Summers has been camping since he was in junior high school. His parents, God rest their souls, loved their recliners, so Summers tagged along with the neighbors in their campers, or roughed it in a tent with his sister and brother-in-law. Mark was thrown off many an RV lot as a youngster looking at Condor Coaches and Winnebagos. Other personal passions include dog rescue, and of course RV Buddies' newest adventure, the restoration of their 1977 GMC 26'er. |

Elise Baughman
Co-Host
A lot of people may think Elise is just another pretty face. Well, yes she is. But there's so much more. Elise has been RV'ing since her childhood with her aunts and uncles, and isn't afraid to get her hands dirty. Elise has a passion for technology - especially electronics - and is like a kid in a candy store whenever we get a new coach to review. Baughman is also an avid sports enthusiast and likes to mix it up, much to Robert's dismay. She plays a mean game of basketball, and putt-putt, and... Well you get the idea! If you think you recognize her voice, it's because she's done lots of voice over work in cartoons, including the popular series "Dragon Ball GT " - popular with kids. Elise also has a current series called “Boz the Bear” by the Emmy-award winning producers of “Barney the Dinosaur". |

Robert Wittenberg
Co-Host and Dare Devil
Our show "side-kick" Robert is an avid sports nut. He played baseball in college and continues to play any and every sport on a regular basis, although he has yet to beat Elise. There's nothing this dare-devil won't try. He's traveled through the US, Canada, South America, and has camped and hiked his way through Europe. He's even been sky-diving, twice! Maybe when Winnebago does their next drop test, Robert can go along for the ride! Wittenberg is very close with his family and spends time supporting his brother in his political aspirations campaigning with him in the Midwest. Robert also has a big heart having done a lot of charity work, including helping with the Susan Komen 3-Day Breast Cancer Walk in various cities across the country. |

Tobias and Alexander P. Bull
Puppy Dogs
Toby and Alex are the best. They are brothers from the same litter. To say they are goofy would be an understatement. Alex is a big love bug and moosh. Toby is a kisser and snuggler. Both the boys enjoy their walks, many treats (yes they are overweight), and LOVE RV trips!
Toby passed away on July 13, 2009. To view his tribute, CLICK HERE.
Toby and Alex ask that you pick up after your pet and make sure you keep the RV at a safe temperature. Make sure to obey leash laws, and spay and neuter your pets!
There are cups and magnets in the STORE featuring Toby and Alex. Besides Richard (below), the boys love RON BURNS whose animal art is beautiful. His site donates all proceeds to the Humane Society. |

Richard Neuman
Artist
When I was a kid, I recall my HotWheels cars, and the cartoony cards that came with bubble gum of extreme cars and trucks. The first moment I saw Richard's artwork, I knew he was the guy to design the RV Buddies RV graphic. Richard was kind enough to do that for us - and the rest is history. Richard is a great guy and an incredible artist. He lives with his adorable wife in Ohio, and thankfully for you and us, he has remained in constant contact with his inner child.
