If you've been hanging around campgrounds, RV rallies, or the RV corner of Instagram for any length of time, you've probably spotted one. A gorgeous acrylic board mounted on a camper door, filled with stickers that tell the story of everywhere that family has been.

That's a Rivet Adventure Board. And if you don't have one yet, you're going to want one after this.

On the latest episode of Learn to RV the Podcast, our co-hosts Joel and Kristina Bram sat down with Melissa Bond — the CEO and self-described Memory Maker behind Rivet Supply Co. — for a full Beyond the Brand deep dive. Joel and Kristina are self-proclaimed superfans (they own two adventure boards AND a map), so this one was less of an interview and more of a mutual admiration society meeting. The best kind.

Here's everything you need to know.

One Airstream, One Sticker, One Very Opinionated Husband

Melissa grew up camping. Justin — her husband, the COO, and the creative genius behind every board — grew up camping. They spent the early years of their marriage tent camping with their kids, loving every minute of it.

Then they bought their first Airstream. A used 2022, just 16 feet. The kids slept outside in tents because — and we quote — "they were teenagers. It's fine."

After their very first trip, Melissa came home with a sticker from the state park they'd visited. She wanted to put it on the camper. Justin said absolutely not. They had just bought this thing.

So Justin did what creative problem-solvers do: he disappeared for a couple of weeks, noodled on it, and then one day said, "Hey, come here. I want to show you something."

He had cut the very first adventure board and mounted it on their camper door.



That's it. That's the whole origin story. A woman who wanted to collect stickers and a husband who refused to let her put them on the paint — and now thousands of RVers have a beautiful board on their rig because of it.

So What Exactly IS a Rivet Adventure Board?

Great question. Here's the breakdown

The Adventure Board is a handcrafted acrylic board (⅛ inch thick, which means it has just enough flex to curve with your RV door) with a beautifully designed landscape laser-cut along the top — forest, mountain, desert, or ocean. You mount it wherever you want, then collect stickers from your travels and add them as you go. It comes in two orientations: Vista (vertical, 19"W x 26.25"H) and Horizon (horizontal, 26.25"W x 19"H). Starting at $125 with free shipping.

The Adventure Map is the same concept applied to a US States map. You collect state stickers and fill them in as you visit. It comes with a sticker book. You can even order custom photo stickers — your actual photos, printed in the shape of the state you visited. The map is 17.8"W x 10.9"H and starts at $75 with free shipping.



Personalization has been part of the brand from day one. Melissa named their first Airstream Rosie, and that first board said "Rosie" right on it. Now you can add your family name, your rig name, or whatever makes it yours. The Brams' board says "Adventuring with the Brams." Obviously.

Why RVers Love It (According to People Who Actually Own Three of Them)

Joel made the case beautifully during the episode, so don't forget to watch the episode.

Truth be told Kristina Bram loved Rivet long before we featured them on the podcast. In fact many of us own a Rivet Adventure board in our RV. We shared them in a blog last year on the 5 best memory maker trinkets for your RV last year.

Before Rivet, the standard move was to slap sticker maps directly on your rig's underbelly door. They fade in the sun, they peel when you layer stickers, and — this is the big one — you can't take them with you when you get a new rig.

The Rivet board goes wherever you go. Move it to your next RV. Hang it in your house between camping seasons. Let it live on your wall as a full record of everywhere your family has ever adventured together. It's not a sticker map. It's a keepsake.

Joel also shared a moment that stuck with us — walking through a Camp Airstream event in Idaho, spotting an adventure board on someone's rig, stopping to comment on it, and ending up in a full-on conversation about everywhere that family had been. A couple of stickers. A whole story.

That's what Melissa means when she says Rivet is in the business of helping people capture memories, not just make them.

The Name (Yes, It Actually Means Something)

Rivet Supply Co. started as a product for Airstream owners. Justin designed the board with just enough flex to fit an Airstream's curved door. And an Airstream, as any Airstream person will tell you, is covered in rivets — those little connectors that hold everything together.

Melissa's take on it now? A rivet is something that connects.

And that's exactly what these boards do — spark conversations between strangers at campgrounds, give families a shared project, connect the places you've been to the memories you carry.

What's Coming Next

Melissa dropped a few exciting things during the episode...

• Kids' Adventure Boards are in development — a mini version (think half the size of the Horizon) so each kid can have their own board by their bunk. No more fighting over which sticker to add to the family board. (You're welcome, parents.)
• The America's 250th Anniversary Limited Edition — a special board and map to mark the country's 250th birthday. If you want to make 2026 your most memorable year yet, this one was made for you.
• Rally appearances all year — Rivet will be at Music City Motorhome Rally in Nashville, the Alliance Rally in May, the FMCA/FRVA Rally in Sedalia, Missouri in July, the Airstream Rally in Minot, North Dakota in August, and the Hershey RV Show in the fall. Go say hello. Melissa will give you a sticker.



Oh, and Rivet Supply Co. is now officially in partnership with Airstream — their boards and maps are stocked in the Airstream Supply Company store at the Airstream factory in Ohio. Full circle moment.
