For Immediate Release

WASHINGTON, DC, APRIL 2026 | Founders Derek Ohringer and Thomas Rhoades have been renovating a 2008 Winnebago RV. Their goal is to build a tailgater's paradise. It will bring amenities to any parking lot: a bathroom, air conditioning, television, music, and more. 

To bring this mission to you, Derek and Tommy have founded Tailgate Coach LLC.

The company serves groups of all kinds by creating tailgating experiences tailored to each audience’s unique needs. Offering comfort and convenience, Tailgate Coach aims to make your tailgate unbeatable.

“Tommy and I wanted a better way to tailgate,” said Derek Ohringer, Co-Founder and CEO of Tailgate Coach. "We are working tirelessly to create better tailgating experiences for our community. You should've seen the shock on the faces of the first friends and family that heard we wanted to buy an older, used RV.  That decision to go in on a project together will shape this brand's identity and personality. We can't wait to share our rig with you.”
