Position: Assembly Technician
- How long have been you working at Vistabule? Feb, 2024
- Describe a typical day at work for you. Fun. (editor’s note: Travis’ brevity belies the great addition he has made to our team. He has proven to be a quick study, thanks to his background in construction, and has taken on a wide range of responsibilities in sub-assembly as well as the final stages of each trailer’s construction)
- You are a fellow Vistabule owner. What is your favorite thing about owning one? I love the color of my trailer. Yellow. I appreciate the quality. And probably the biggest selling point is the ability to sleep comfortably every night.
- What is your favorite memory in your Vistabule? I’d have to say it was during my honeymoon, at Lambs Resort, in Schroeder, MN.
- What is your history with the outdoors? Did you camp with your family growing up? Lots of camping, particularly at Webb Lake and along the Namekagon River. And a lifetime of hunting and fishing.
- Favorite campground/state park etc.? Split Rock Lighthouse. It was where I had my wedding, right on the shoreline below the lighthouse. Was the location sanctioned? No. Was it worth it? Yes.
- Favorite hobbies (besides camping)? I’m always on the hunt for new breweries to try.
- What song title best describes you? “Hell In A Bucket” by The Grateful Dead—at least I’m going to enjoy the ride, babe.
- If you could combine two or three animals into one Super Animal, what features would it have, and what would you call it? Eagle + Grizzly Bear = Eagle Bear (editor’s suggestion: Grizzgle?) It would have the ability to soar with the clouds and be on the top of the food chain, figuratively and literally.
