From an RV Show to a Life on the Road: The Story of Brian & Lisa Pitts
It all started at an RV show—glamorous, right? Brian and Lisa still joke that after 24 years together, they should have come up with a more exciting story! For nearly a decade, they had unknowingly worked in the same industry, traveling to motorhome shows from California to Maine to Florida, yet their paths had never crossed. That all changed when Brian left his sales job with a Prevost converter in Oklahoma and took a position at a dealership in Dallas. Lisa, then a Vice President for Deutsche Bank in the RV and Marine business, was visiting her dealers at the Dallas RV Show—and there he was. If you believe in love at first sight across a crowded showroom floor, this was it!
A year later, they were married, had a baby, and just a few months after that, Brian was recruited by Karl Blade, then owner of Newell Coach, to join the team. That moment launched a 23+ year career selling Newell motorhomes in Miami, Oklahoma. Meanwhile, Lisa transitioned from corporate banking to working directly with customers, helping them secure financing for their dream coaches.
Today, Brian and Lisa are fortunate to share careers that take them across the country, selling and financing motorhomes while living the very lifestyle they promote. Spending winters in Florida and traveling to premier motorhome resorts throughout the year, they don’t just sell Newells—they live the Newell experience. As passionate motorhome and boating enthusiasts, you’ll often find them at the resorts, in a Newell Coach, enjoying the motorcoach lifestyle (and, of course, plenty of pickleball) alongside their friends and customers. Their journey isn’t just about selling coaches; it’s about building relationships, sharing experiences, and helping others turn their own motorhome dreams into reality.
