Togo Group, the road-based travel technology company that includes the Roadtrippers, RVillage, and Togo RV brands, has announced the acquisition of OvernightRVParking.com. Overnight RV Parking was founded in 2008 and has grown to be the largest, most accurate, and most authoritative database of free RV parking locations in North America and is unique in its careful review and validation of submitted location details, the company said.
“The Togo Group team has a commitment to the RVing experience that will allow Overnight RV Parking to further fulfill our original mission of helping RVers more easily find boondocking locations,” said Jim O’Briant, co-founder of Overnight RV Parking. “Better yet, being part of Togo creates a much better experience for our current users and preserves the service for years to come.”
The parking directory service will be integrated into the Togo RV app as an added benefit for premium subscribers. This allows the service to reach more than 300,000 RVers who have downloaded the Togo RV app, and will upgrade existing Overnight RV Parking customers to the full suite of premium features and benefits of Togo RV Plus. At more than 15,000 locations, the new feature of Togo RV rounds out a diverse selection of camping locations that will all be made available for RVers to explore within the Togo RV app.
“RVers have been telling us there is a shortage of reliable information on free, quick, and convenient overnight stops. Jim and (co-founder) Melanie Dumas Grimm built an ideal tool for RVers that complements our focus on creating a better RV experience with Togo RV at a time when the community of new RVers seeking this type of accurate information is growing,” said Danny Hest, CEO of Togo Group.
Through its integration with Togo RV, Overnight RV Parking will continue to be led by its co-founder, Jim O’Briant, who has more than two decades of experience as an RVer and is a respected contributor to the RVing community. Co-founder Melanie Dumas Grimm will also remain through the transition as technical advisor.
