Paul Hancock

After a long career in the IT industry, Paul Hancock founded We RV Champions with Michael Chapman in 2016. Prior to working in IT, Paul served 8 years on active duty in the United States Marine Corps.

As full-time RVers, Paul and his wife Shana are well-positioned to understand the needs of today’s RV community. With a desire to provide fellow RVers with a beautiful, safe, and relaxing camping experience, Paul and Michael purchased the first park in Tyler, Texas. Paul and Shana continue to play a hands-on role in managing their parks.

Michael Chapman

Michael Chapman has been in the high-tech sector for over 30 years. In 2016, he and Paul joined forces and created We RV Champions with the goal of owning several parks where they could use business acumen and customer service to meet the needs of the customers they serve.

Michael is married to his wife Debra, a United States Navy veteran and a father. He enjoys hunting and shooting and recently joined the RV family.

Great place to stay. We stayed a little over 6 months. Very quiet and clean. Nice pool for the kids. The park gets together every Friday for food and hang out time at the Pavilion. Overall super great people and very nice rv park.

Our home away from home!

The park is beautiful and well-maintained. Our favorite part was that everyone here was so active! These “Winter Texans” were here to have fun… and we joined right in.

We really enjoyed our stay here and would recommend it to everyone!
