What does R.E.V. mean?

Everyone who stops us to check out little "REV" asks what the R.E.V. stand for...and I don't know??? I'm sure this question has been addressed many times but I am at a loss to find the answer in any Forum (user error, no doubt).

I’ve often wondered (even thought about posting, but am easily distracted) where all the product names come from. I’ve seen ISATA mentioned here and there but what about the others? Can we get a full rundown?

I'm not sure it ever meant anything. REV was created before me. We just overhauled it when I arrived.

The guy that was here, then went over to Fleetwood/Holiday Rambler (whatever their name was) and then they changed the name to REV Group. So he must have really liked it.

What does Navion mean?

"Revolutionary" for us, "Revolting" for them? Who knows?

By the way, a lot of Cummins owners will tell you that C-A-T really DOES spell dog.

I only know what it is not....a Dynamax

I know the guy that designed that and I have no idea why they name it that. Forest River 3???sounded better than Forest River 2?

I think the theory was to do a 3-5-7 like BMW.
