“The Mentalist” Goes RVing

Two RV companies’ products will be featured in an upcoming episode of CBS Television’s
popoular show, “The Mentalist.” The Good Sam Club was contacted recently by CBS/Warner
Bros. to provide a variety of vehicles for the show at a location shoot today, September
15, according to Sue Bray, executive director of the club. The club’s parent company,
Affinity Group Inc. (AGI), provided two test trailers – an Excel fifth-wheel manufactured
by Peterson Industries Inc. and a Northwood Manufacturing Inc. Arctic Fox travel trailer.
AGI also supplied a boat, ATVs and motorcycles. Warner Bros. is going to make a donation to
Hole in the Wall Camps in exchange for the vehicles AGI provided, Bray noted. “The
Mentalist” revolves around a celebrated psychic-turned-detective (Simon Baker) who has a
powerful gift for observation and investigates crimes for the California Bureau of
Investigation. Story courtesy of RV
