Meet our Staff

At Westland Camping Center, we're proud of the people who work for us.


Dave

Dave Rochette

I have enjoyed camping all my life, and spent a lot of time on the road in a Coleman® camper with my family. Twelve years ago, I left the corporate world and bought Westland Camping, so I could help other families enjoy the benefits of the camping lifestyle. I’m proud of the level of personal service we give our customers, something they can’t get at other large RV dealerships.

IreneIrene Rochette

I am the General Manager at Westland Camping; the job doesn’t include much managing, so I do whatever needs doing. I grew up camping in a tent, and was thrilled when Dave and I bought our first pop-up right after we got married. I still enjoy it very much, and now that we do kayaking also, it’s even more fun. My favorite trips are when the whole family goes, especially the five grandchildren!



SteveSteve Rochette

I started working here while attending Eastern Michigan University almost 12 years ago. After graduating, I returned full time to the family business as the Service Coordinator. Recently, I have taken over the Parts Department; so if you need to have something special ordered, see me! Since coming to work here, I’ve graduated college, gotten married, and have a Three year old daughter. But one thing that hasn’t changed is my commitment to helping people enjoy camping.



KevKev Rochette

I have worked at Westland Camping for 12 years in both the service department and in sales, and am currently VP of Kayak Sales. Conveniently enough, some of my favorite hobbies include pop-up camping and kayaking with my wife and four children. I’m proud to contribute to Westland Camping’s dominance in the area of pop-up camper sales. I love to talk to customers about camping, kayaking, and where to go to do them.

I started at Westland Camping in April, 2007 in sales. I can help our customers achieve the dream of owning a great recreational vehicle! I built trailers for several different manufacturers; I’ve been a plant manager, sales manager, and had many other positions in the industry. I have owned many different types of RVs, and I love to camp, fish, and spend time outdoors.

Like many people from this area I did not know Westland Camping was here until I started to work here in April, 1989. I am the Finance Manager. I really enjoy doing the final paperwork with the customers who are excited about getting their new trailer. During my free time I enjoy gardening, reading, and playing with my puppies.

I’ve been a Service Tech for 20 years, the last two at Westland         Camping. I like to take my daughter Nicole camping and fishing, and am a big fan of NASCAR. I’m also the cook at Westland Camping; when we do barbeque, I’m the guy!

I am the Service Manager at Westland Camping. I have been an RV tech for almost 8 years, and was a truck mechanic for 25 years. I am married and have two grown children, plus three Great Danes. I’ve lived in Michigan most of my life, and love to fish, hunt, camp, and ride my motorcycle. I enjoy my time at Westland Camping, and couldn’t imagine better people to work with.

I started as Service Coordinator at Westland Camping in January, 2008. I have worked in the industry for 33 years, including 5 years at Dometic. I am certified by both Dometic and RVIA, and have seen just about every problem you can imagine. I try to see that every customer is taken care of as quickly and accurately as possible, so if you’re RV needs service, I’m the guy to call! In my time off, I enjoy riding my GoldWing Bike - I’ve been biking since I was 16 - and playing with my grandkids.

After working at Westland Camping Center for over 29 years, both selling trailers and as Parts Manager, I have retired and plan to divide my time between our home in Westland and our lake house in Coldwater. I enjoy using my Bayside pop up, and hope to do more camping with my family.
