- The Gander RV & Outdoors Truck Series name will change once again in 2021. Thankfully, it will not be a mouthful. The series name will revert to the Camping World Truck Series for next season. Marcus Lemonis, CEO of Camping World and Gander Outdoors, stated that the name change away from Camping World was done in order to leverage the relaunch of Gander Outdoors
(formerly Gander Mtn.), which had been bought out of bankruptcy.
