Dan M. from Colorado won the Ultimate Road Trip package on August 30, 2026, and took the motorhome and the Bronco.

What this fundraiser was

The Axis is a Class A motorhome at 27 feet, built on a Ford chassis with a 7.3L V8, for people who want the trip without the intimidation. The Bronco is the second half: unhook it at camp and go explore. We built this package around something we believe as a family: make the memories while you can.

Announced live on Saturday, September 5, 2026. Dan chose the Axis and the Bronco over the $130,000 cash.
