I had an afficianado of antique Bowlus campers find a short story on my blog. One of the characters in the story lives in a 1936 Bowlus camper. This reader was quite excited to see the Bowlus reference, and even contributed a photograph from a recent Bowlus meetup for me to post in the comments on the story.

You can see it here:

So, yeah, product placement can be a type of marketing. If unintentional sometimes.
