Summary
Sometimes the best business ideas come from the most unexpected places – like a demolished RV air conditioner! Glynn welcomes Deanna & Don from KoolRV to share their story of how a travel disaster in Montana sparked a journey into entrepreneurship. We’ll talk about how identifying a problem, DIY solutions, and a whole lot of grit turned a broken AC unit into KoolRV Solutions. Discover how this RVing couple went from roadside repair to product launch, the challenges they faced, and why this company was truly born out of necessity – and a little bit of duct tape!
GUEST BIO: Don and Deanna met on the road and started RVing together in 2022. After an accident involving their a/c unit, Don discovered a flaw and created a product to help increase the efficiency of RV air conditioners. Together they launched KoolRV in June of 2023.

| 0:08.6 | have to solve everything for everyone, but you need to understand what you're solving for and do it well. |
| 0:14.6 | Welcome to the RV Entrepreneur podcast, the weekly show for nomads, work campers, RVers, and entrepreneurs looking to earn a living or build a business while enjoying the RV lifestyle. |
| 0:25.8 | This week's host is Glenn Willard. |
| 0:28.5 | Let's settle in and enjoy the RV Entrepreneur podcast, brought to you by RV Life. |
| 0:34.7 | Welcome to the RV Entrepreneur podcast. I'm Glenn Willard, your host this week, and today I have the |
| 0:40.2 | privilege of speaking with Don and Deanna of Cool RV. Now, they recently discussed their background |
| 0:45.2 | story with Patty Hunt on our sister podcast, the RV Life podcast episode number 122. That said, |
| 0:52.5 | this is the RV Entrepreneur podcast. So we're going to discuss and dive |
| 0:56.5 | into the business aspects of starting and running a product-based business from an RV. Let's go. |
| 1:03.3 | Hey, RVers, let's be real. Your RV showerhead isn't great. And even if you swapped it out for |
| 1:08.9 | something better, chances are it's just a shinier version of the same old thing. |
| 1:14.6 | And if you're really lucky, those stiff hose kind of lets you get wet, but definitely not where you want it. |

| 1:56.3 | This shower head doesn't just work better. It feels better. |
| 2:00.3 | It's engineered to deliver powerful, consistent water flow. |
| 2:04.3 | Its multiple spray settings are optimized to get the most out of your water tank. |
| 2:09.4 | And with the new trickle switch, you can conserve water without that shocking blast of cold or hot water when you turn it back on. |
| 2:17.2 | It's available in white, |
