Jacob's mother had a chance for him to receive a wish from the Make-A-Wish Foundation several years ago, but she waited until Jacob was old enough to choose what he wanted. What he chose may come as a surprise: He did not want to go to Disney World or Hawaii, his preference was less luxurious but longer-lasting: an RV.
The Make-A-Wish Foundation partnered with Sonny's RV to make outdorrs-loving Jacob's wish come true, and after a sleepless night due to excitement and a drive to Sonny's, he was presented with his RV and extras- fishing gear, and air raft, lifevests, sleeping bags.
His mother told trib.com that he was "speechless," and they have already planned their first trip in Jacob's RV, to the Fremont County Fair and Rodeo.

I have been General Manager of Motorhome Republic, the operators of this website, for 4 years and with the company for 6 years starting as a Sales / Account Manager. Previous roles have included account manager and software architect for a web design firm, advertising sales across multiple media and television production. I’ve been lucky enough to go Motorhoming several times in Canada, USA and New Zealand so far and grew up going on caravanning holidays with Mum and Dad. The value and freedom Motorhoming offers are its two main drawcards for me. That and the envy on the other campers’ faces when you pull into a State Park campground with no hook ups in a 31’ Class C with double slide outs, on board generator, side awning, exterior entertainment unit and smoker unit for a 10kg salmon caught earlier that day.
I have been in the Motorhome industry for the best part of 6 years and with Motorhomes Republic for the last 18 months. I previously worked for the largest Motorhome rental company in the world as the New Zealand Sales Account Manager. I’ve traveled the length and width of New Zealand in many different categories of Motorhomes, in fact I don’t think there is a main state highway I haven’t driven. The love I have for Motorhomes is one of freedom and flexibility, doing what I want when I want. If I have a hankering for a cup of coffee in a beautiful scenic spot simply stop boil and enjoy….
