Trent Tiffin steps into new executive role with Storyteller Overland and Global Expedition Vehicles

Storyteller Overland, an industry leader in the class B RV and adventure vehicle manufacturing space, recently named Trent Tiffin as General Manager / Executive Vice President (EVP) of its subsidiary, Global Expedition Vehicles.

Trent brings eight years of RV industry experience to the table, having previously worked in sales and marketing at the family business, Tiffin Motorhomes.

“It was a real coup to have Trent Tiffin see the value in joining our team here at Storyteller,” said Storyteller CEO Jeffrey Hunter. “I have had the privilege of knowing him for a number of years now, and of course I, like so many others, have always been aware of his stellar reputation in our industry. He shares our values of prioritizing the voice of the customer and doing everything in our power to create exceptional experiences for our growing community. It's just in his blood.”

“While I have always been super impressed by Trent's considerable accomplishments at such a young age, I am even more excited about what we will be able to dream up and achieve together to inspire entirely new audiences and continue to revolutionize our industry with his leadership as EVP and GM of Global X."

Storyteller announced its acquisition of the industry-leading expedition vehicle manufacturer Global Expedition Vehicles, based in Springfield, MO back in January 2022, along with its plans to bring an entirely new class of expedition rig and adventure truck to market. When asked what his primary goal would be as he assumes the role of General Manager/EVP, Trent said his goal is simple, “We are going to design and build the best motorhomes available anywhere at any price , take better care of our customers than anyone else ever has, and make GXV the best place to work for all of its team members.”

“It is a great honor to be trusted by Jeffery Hunter, Lee Conn, and Andrew Cooley for believing I can lead this team to do great things for Storyteller Overland and GXV,” Trent said. “I’m excited to grow this side of our business and to bring an amazing product to one of the best dealer groups in the country. I’m also excited to see new customers and build dreams for them at the best level of quality and service we can provide for the end user.”

Trent received a bachelor’s degree in Communication and Information Sciences from The University of Alabama. Trent is a lifelong resident of Alabama and currently resides in Birmingham.
