Truma North America Partners with Dealerships for Eclipse Watch Parties

A Special report from our friends at Truma North America

Elkhart, IN – 03/12/2024 – Truma North America is partnering with RV dealerships across the country to host Eclipse Watch Parties on Monday, April 8th. According to astronomy.com, the upcoming Total Eclipse will be the most significant eclipse to cross North America in the last 100 years.

Compared to the last North American Total Eclipse, which took place in 2017, the April 8th event will cover a wider, most populated geographic area of the country with a longer duration of totality. The North American continent will not see another total eclipse of this magnitude until 2044.

“We understand that campgrounds across the country are seeing an increase in reservations for the days leading up to and after the eclipse,” said Truma VP of Sales and Marketing Tim Williams. “Since a key part of our mission is to help RV owners create unforgettable memories outdoors, it made sense that we celebrate this significant event, and it gives us a chance to highlight some of our dealer partners.”
