3. The recreational vehicle of claim 1 , wherein the driver portable communication device includes a cellular telephone, a satellite telephone, and a device that is capable of sending and receiving communications to and from the at least one controller supported by the frame of the recreational vehicle through a wireless network.

4. The recreational vehicle of claim 1 , wherein the first passenger portable communication device includes a cellular telephone, a satellite telephone, and a device that is capable of sending and receiving communications to and from the at least one controller supported by the frame of the recreational vehicle through a wireless network.

5. The recreational vehicle of claim 1 , wherein the driver audio interface device is a headset.

6. The recreational vehicle of claim 1 , wherein the first passenger audio interface device is a headset.

7. The recreational vehicle of claim 1 , wherein the first audio information is a call either imitated by the driver portable communication device or received by the driver portable communication device,

wherein to communicate the first audio information between the driver portable communication device and the driver audio interface device comprises causing the at least one controller to route the first audio information received from the driver portable communication device to the driver audio interface device through the recreational vehicle and the first audio information received from the driver audio interface device to the driver portable communication device through the recreational vehicle.

8. The recreational vehicle of claim 7 , wherein the first audio information is not routed to either of the first passenger portable communication device or the first passenger audio interface device.

9. The recreational vehicle of claim 1 , wherein the second audio information is a call either imitated by the first passenger portable communication device or received by the first passenger portable communication device,

wherein to communicate the second audio information between the first passenger portable communication device and the first passenger audio interface device comprises causing the at least one controller to route the second audio information received from the first passenger portable communication device to the first passenger audio interface device through the recreational vehicle and the second audio information received from the first passenger audio interface device to the first passenger portable communication device through the recreational vehicle.

10. The recreational vehicle of claim 9 , wherein the second audio information is not routed to either of the driver portable communication device or the driver audio interface device.

11. A method of communicating information to a driver and at least a first passenger of a recreational vehicle, the driver having a driver portable communication device and a driver audio interface device having a microphone and a speaker, the first passenger having a first passenger portable communication device and a first passenger audio interface device having a microphone and a speaker, the method comprising the steps of:

operatively coupling at least one controller of the recreational vehicle with the driver portable communication device, the driver audio interface device, the first passenger portable communication device, and the first passenger audio interface device;

routing audio information through the at least one controller of the recreational vehicle between one of (a) the driver portable communication device and the driver audio interface device and (b) the first passenger portable communication device and the first passenger audio interface device, wherein first audio information is routed between the driver portable communication device and the driver audio interface device in response to a driver call being established with the driver portable communication device and wherein second audio information is routed between the first passenger portable communication device and the first passenger audio interface device in response to a first passenger call being established with the first passenger portable communication device,

wherein operatively coupling at least one controller of the recreational vehicle with the driver portable communication device, the driver audio interface device, the first passenger portable communication device, and the first passenger audio interface device comprises operatively wirelessly coupling the at least one controller with at least three of the driver portable communication device, the driver audio interface device, the first passenger portable communication device, and the first passenger audio interface device.

12. The method of claim 11 , wherein operatively coupling at least one controller of the recreational vehicle with the driver portable communication device, the driver audio interface device, the first passenger portable communication device, and the first passenger audio interface device comprises operatively wirelessly coupling the at least one controller with each of the driver portable communication device, the driver audio interface device, the first passenger portable communication device, and the first passenger audio interface device through a wireless network.

13. The method of claim 11 , wherein the driver portable communication device includes a cellular telephone, a satellite telephone, and a device that is capable of sending and receiving communications to and from the at least one controller supported by the frame of the recreational vehicle through a wireless network.

14. The method of claim 11 , wherein the first passenger portable communication device includes a cellular telephone, a satellite telephone, and a device that is capable of sending and receiving communications to and from the at least one controller supported by the frame of the recreational vehicle through a wireless network.

15. The method of claim 11 , wherein the driver audio interface device is a headset.

16. The method of claim 11 , wherein the first passenger audio interface device is a headset.

17. The method of claim 11 , wherein the first audio information is not routed to either of the first passenger portable communication device or the first passenger audio interface device.
