Have you seen the Trump RV?

STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. — Has anyone else noticed the Trumped-up camper that's been making its way across Staten Island this month?

Apparently, a bunch of you have based on the amount of pictures sent in to the Advance this past week.

Some of you love it, some of you hate. And some of you had no idea a Trump-dressed-as-Rambo flag even existed.

So we went on a hunt to find the infamous Trump RV and ended up finding one of the president's biggest fans to date.

Meet Rocky

Behind the wheel of the flag-ridden van is Rocky Granata, 59, of Edison, N.J.

When he lost his Jersey home in 2015, Granata began traveling the country in his previous vehicle, attending various Trump rallies during the last election.

"I met a Green Beret [or] Navy SEAL who suggested I go even bigger and bolder with my Trump support," he told the Advance. "He generously opened up his pocket to me, and eventually helped me buy the RV."

Granata purchased the 30-foot camper and immediately started decorating.

"I kept my word to be bold with my Trump support."

The huge Trump fan says he has traveled more than 43,000 miles across the U.S. since purchasing the RV last year, mostly attending Trump rallies and gatherings in different cities.

"I was a Bernie Sanders supporter," he said. "But I thought he got robbed by Hillary [Clinton] in the election, so I jumped behind Trump and have been his biggest fan ever since."

Recently on Staten Island, the RV has commonly passed through Eltingville, Great Kills and the Charleston area.

"People seem to love it here," Granata said of Staten Island. "They come out, take pictures near the RV and want to talk Trump."

But not everyone has been so accepting.

"Sure, we get the occasional hate and nasty words, but I just say back 'I love you,'" he said. "You have to try and get a dialogue going with other people."

Lots of Trump gear for sale

Granata doesn't just show off his colorful RV when on the road; he sells a ton of Trump memorabilia at each stop.

While on Staten Island, two of his buddies often set up road-side shops offering hats, flags, pins and glasses.

Walter Sobanski, 55, has his mobile stand set up outside of Walgreen's along Arthur Kill Road in Eltingville.

He says most people who pass by his table show their support for the president.

"The people here on Staten Island love Donald Trump," he said. "We're out here spreading the message and selling our gear to let people know we want Trump in the White House for 2020."

The worst interaction Sobanski has had so far?

Some Hidden Valley Ranch.

"I had a salad dressing bottle thrown at me the other day," he said. "That kind of sucked.

"But overall, it's been a really positive vibe here."

Second location for Trump stuff

Steve Korelis, 53, has a second stand set up on an overpass in Charleston.

He says his goal in working with Granata is to promote Trump for the 2020 election in any way he can.

"The most important thing we can do is get out there and give the people more Trump everything," he said. "We have to make a second term for Donald Trump a reality."

Not just for profit

Korelis says that while he, Sobanski and Granata do turn a profit on the merchandise, 10 percent of all sales go toward military veterans who've served the country.

"This isn't just about making money," he said. "Lots of times, people will walk over to buy something and I'll just give it to them for free.

"The point is spreading our message of Trump with love."

Back on the road

Granata said he plans to head back out on the road toward Florida to attend some more pro-Trump events.

So you might not be catching a glimpse of his highly visible RV anytime soon.

"When I'm on the east coast, I'll stop on Staten Island to pick up some merchandise that gets shipped to my aunt's house," he said, "but, otherwise, I'm all over the place."

Join him for a selfie

Granata is extending invitations to anyone that spots the RV in the future to knock on the door, grab their cellphone and pose for a picture together.

"I'm just looking for more people to Trump out with going into 2020," he said.
