Can you feel it?
The pulse to go explore? The need to be a pioneer?
If you have the bug, you know, the will for adventure and escape, than you’ve come to the right place.
And what better way to find your next great journey than in an RV?
If this is you at all, well, you’ve found your tribe.
Here’s the catch, the RV (recreational vehicle for those uninitiated) industry is very vibrant, but also very diverse with literally thousands of different options for every soon to be explorer.
From tiny teardrop trailers built for a solo traveler to massive class A rigs beating the amenities of many hotels, you have a lot of options to choose from.
And while you begin whittling down the options based on your needs, you’ll eventually come across the question “Which RV manufacturer can I actually trust?”
In this article we’re going to breakdown everything you need to know about the different RV manufacturers available to you. These companies play a pivotal role in shaping the landscape of the RV community and industry, and before you venture into your first (or 10th!) RV you’ll want to know how each brings their own unique expertise, philosophy, and quality to your rig.
We designed this article to be a valuable resource and starting point to help you make the most informed decision possible.
Our goal is to help you navigate the landscape and choose the best RV with confidence tailored to your specific needs. In the end, knowledge is power and the more informed you are, the better your decisions will be.
With all that being said, let’s get started!!
Who Owns These RV Manufacturing Companies?
There’s an old saying which can help you think more clearly about the world. It goes, “follow the money”.
Now, as we embarked on creating this article there was something striking we noticed.
Have you ever heard of the pareto principle? If you’re unfamiliar, it’s the 80/20 effect which basically means that in any large group or population, 80% of the consequences will come from 20% of the causes.
In economics, this helps explain the cause of wealth inequality where 20% of the people own 80% of the wealth.
Fun fact, this exact scenario has happened to the RV manufacturing industry.
To be more specific, while on first glance you may think there are hundreds of brands and manufacturers to choose from, you’re actually likely to be choosing from only 2 companies (more on this in a moment).
Overall, 4 (yes only 4) companies own over 90% or more of the RV market share and all of these 4 companies are publicly traded.
Now, this isn’t necessarily a bad or good thing, but it does provide some food for thought.
If you’re new to the RV community, you wouldn’t have noticed, but for those who are a little more seasoning you’ll probably have noticed how the quality of the RV’s seems to have steadily decreased, while overall prices have increased.
With the knowledge of these brands and manufacturers being publicly traded, it actually begins to make sense. These organizations are incentivized to maximize their profits. Not a bad thing at all, but it does produce a greater incentive to use cheaper products in an effort to reduce costs.
Let’s dive a little deeper to provide more clarity…
The Big 2 RV Manufacturers
Earlier I told you how you’re likely to purchase an RV from 1 of 2 places.
Why did I say this?
Because 2 RV manufacturers own just about 86% of the entire RV marketplace. Who are these two titans?
- Thor Industries – totalling about 45% of the RV market share
- Forest River – totalling about 40% of the RV market share
This will help explain why you might find yourself asking, “why do all these RVs look so… similar?”
Well, it’s because they are.
In fact, here’s the breakdown of the different brands underneath each of these 2 giants.
THOR Industries
Started by Wade Thompson and Peter Orthwein, these two guys basically purchased Airstream after it became distressed in the 1970’s due to the oil crisis.
The “holding” company they purchased Airstream was called THOR which was the combination of the first two letters of their respective last names.
Candidly, they basically turned the company around within a year – going from a net loss of $12 million to a gain of $1 million almost overnight – and began expanding with different brands ever since.
This company now owns:
- Airstream
- CrossRoads RV
- Cruiser RV
- DRV Luxury Suites
- Dutchmen
- Entegra Coach
- Heartland
- Highland Ridge RV
- Jayco
- Keystone RV Company
- K-Z RV
- Redwood Residential Vehicles
- Starcraft
- Thor Motor Coach
- Tiffin Motorhomes
- VanLeigh RV (division of Tiffin Motorhomes)
- Venture RV
Forest River
Founded in 1996 by Peter Liegl with the goal of bringing a higher quality RV to the market, this company has quickly grown to be a dominate player in the industry.
Also, it helps to have the backing of Warren Buffet of Berkshire Hathaway, who purchased a major stake in the company in 2005. Guess he saw the writing on the wall that RVing was here to stay.
Forest River owns:
- Coachmen RV
- Dynamax
- East to West RV
- Forest River RV
- Palomino RV
- Prime Time Manufacturing
- Shasta RV
Why Does This Matter For You?
At the end of the day, both these companies make good (and arguably bad) RVs.
In fact, Airstream is regarded as one of the highest quality RVs on the market, and we’ve often heard of Airsteam owners literally saying “They’ll never go back.”
However, you also have many comments that the literal Thor motorcoach brand is, well, lacking in certain respects.
Does this mean you should look elsewhere for your new rig because it might be owned by one of the Big 2?
Absolutely not!
It just means you now have a more clear understanding of who your purchasing from.
The 2 “Runner Up” RV Manufacturers
These next 2 manufacturers are still good ones to work with, they just don’t own as much of the market share as the 2 we talked about earlier.
It’s estimated these two manufacturers 10-12% total of the RV market, but don’t let that fool you, they’re still a force to be reckoned with.
They include:
- Winnebago Industries, and
- REV Group
Winnebago Industries
Founded in 1958 as a way of bringing new jobs to the Forest City, Iowa area, this RV company used to be the name brand for motorhomes and still pulls an almost cult following.
They’re a publicly traded company owning about 8% of the North American RV market, but they’ve only recently started to acquire new brands outside the Winnebago name. These include:
- Newmar
- Grand Design
- Winnebago
Fun fact, they also own Barletta Pontoon Boats.
REV Group
Formally known as Allied Specialty Vehicles, REV group is a somewhat new(ish) player on the scene owning about 2-3% of the RV market.
They’re the smallest of the RV manufacturers, but own the following brands:
- American Coach
- Fleetwood RV
- Monaco
- Holiday Rambler
- Renegade RV
- Midwest Automotive Designs
- Lance Camper
Should You Buy From Medium Sized RV Companies?
You’ll find quality seems to be more consistent with medium sized manufacturers.
For example, Grand Design has done a great job of earning a reputation as a consistently top quality manufacturer.
Does this mean you should automatically choose them for your RV?
Not necessarily. At least you’ll know you can expect good competition from them to earn more market share by improving the quality of the RV.
The Rest – Privately Held RV Manufacturers
The rest of the RV manufacturers are going to compete for the small 1-4% of the market that’s left.
These privately-held companies are still well known within the RV community and produce high quality products, they’re just not as pervasive as the 4 companies above.
Many of these brands focus on one specific type of RV and have niched down to be known for just one thing.
Here’s a quick list:
- Allen Camper Manufacturing
- Adventurer Manufacturing
- Alliance RV
- Armadillo Trailer Manufacturing
- ATC Trailers
- Bigfoot Industries
- Bowlus
- Braxton Creek
- Capri Camper
- Casita Travel Trailers
- Chinook RV
- Coach House
- Cortes Campers
- Eclipse Recreational Vehicles
- Ember RV
- Escape Trailer Industries
- Eveland’s, Inc (Scamp)
- Genesis Supreme RV
- Gulf Stream Coach
- Host Campers
- Lazy Daze
- inTech RV
- Leisure Travel Vans (Triple E Recreational Vehicles)
- Little Guy Trailers
- Northwood Manufacturing
- Northern Lite
- Northstar
- nüCamp RV
- Oliver Travel Trailers
- Outdoors RV Manufacturing
- Pacific Coachworks
- Phoenix USA
- Pleasure-Way Industries
- Roulottes Prolite
- Rugged Mountain RV
- The RV Factory
- Safari Condo
- Sunset Park RV
- Trail Wagons
- Travel Lite RV
Should You Buy From Privately Held RV Manufacturers?
While first thought might be to go with smaller players because they’ll be more focused on serving their customers, this might not actually be the case.
While many of these manufacturers have done a great job of building a fan base and producing high quality products, you have to be cognisant of the fact that they’re scrappy and might not survive over the long run.
Rough to say, but we must face the facts.
If you’ve purchased an RV from one of these manufacturers, and they end up going bust, well, there goes your warranty and access to parts.
Plus, pricing will vary significantly because these bespoke manufacturers are typically building custom rigs tailored to their clients. You’re not going to really pay MSRP like you would with a THOR type brand.
RV Manufacturers By RV Type – Breaking It All Down
If you want to go straight to a brand continue to scroll because we’ve listed it alphabetically.
However, if you’re curious which brand builds which type of RV then we’ve dedicated this section to you.
If you’re interested to know details about the difference between the types of RVs, we have an entire page dedicated to that titled RV Types and Classes.
We’re not going to go to in-depth in this article, but we’ll provide you with the high level facts so you can get the jist.
Honestly, getting an idea of the type of RV you want will be your best first step because it narrows down the researching a lot.
Many of the brands create every different type of RV, but there are quite a few who only focus on travel trailers or motorhomes. Either way, we’ll point you in the right direction!
Class A Motorhome Manufacturers
Ahh the good ole’ class A motorhome.
This is the RV type from the legendary series “Breaking Bad”. It’s the RV type in “Meet the Fockers” and especially in the movie “RV”.
When you think of RV’s, you’re probably thinking of a class A. It’s just synonymous with RVing.
These recreational vehicles are going to be the top of the line with all the bells and whistles you can think of, and are considered a rolling bus. Just a giant rectangle on wheels if you ask us.
Generally they’re about 26-45 feet (did I mention they’re big?) weighing in at roughly 13,000-30,000 pounds.
Most of the time you can expect amenities like:
- RV king size beds
- Full bathroom
- 2+ slide outs
- Full fridge
- Sofa
- And more…
Overall this RV type is for those who enjoy glamping and/or are planning to stay full time and explore the U.S. in style!
Here’s a listing of the manufacturers making class A motorhomes:
- American Coach
- Coachmen RV
- Entegra Coach
- Fleetwood RV
- Forest River RV
- Holiday Rambler
- Jayco
- Monaco Coach
- Newmar Corporation
- Nexus RV
- Thor Motor Coach
- Tiffin Motorhomes
- Winnebago Industries
Class B Motorhome Manufacturers
This motorhome is going to be your vans – which is a favorite among younger explorers who are doing solo or couple only travels.
This is going to be the smallest option within the motorhome RV type and is going to have the bare bones needed for survival on the road. Expect a bed, a little burner stove, and some extra storage space only.
Granted the van might not give you a lot of amenity options, but you’ll find amazing fuel economy and all the cool boondocking spots unavailable to the other RV types.
Plus, you can drive this in the city and park in a normal parking spot without worry because they’re generally no bigger than a full size truck coming in at only 17-23 feet long and weigh between 4,000-9,000 pounds.
There’s also a type of motorhome called a class B+ which is significantly bigger and able to sleep more people. More on that in our dedicated article on class B motorhomes. Here’s the list of manufacturers making class B motorhomes:
- Airstream
- Chinook RV
- Coach House
- Coachmen RV
- Entegra Coach
- Fleetwood
- Grech Motors
- Jayco
- Leisure Travel Vans (Triple E Recreational Vehicles)
- Midwest Automotive Design
- Nexus RV
- Panoramic RV
- Phoenix USA
- Pleasure-Way Industries
- Regency RV
- Renegade RV
- Roadtrek
- Safari Condo
- Thor Motor Coach
- Winnebago Industries
Class C Motorhome Manufacturers
Class C RVs are going to be the class “cab-over” look and are the most commonly rented RV type.
Ironically this motorhome type sits between a class A and a class B, but somebody thought it would be funny to mess with the market and named it a class C.
This RV motorhome is a perfect choice for those individuals with decent size families who want the amenities of a class A without the price tag.
You can typically fit between 4-6 people fairly comfortably and you’ll find the amenities are pretty good with a full bathroom (usually), RV queen size bed, a little dining area, and maybe a sofa.
There’s also segmentation where the bedroom will be separate from the living area which is not the case in a class B. These RVs will typically be between 20-30 feet weighing in around 10,000-13,000 pounds.
There’s also a super class C (or a class C+) which will be larger, but that’s for our dedicated article on class C motorhomes.
Here’s the manufacturers making class Cs:
- Dynamax
- East to West RV
- Entegra Coach
- Fleetwood RV
- Forest River RV
- Gulf Stream Coach
- Holiday Rambler
- Jayco
- Lazy Daze
- Nexus RV
- Renegade RV
- Thor Motor Coach
- Tiffin Motorhomes
- Winnebago Industries
Travel Trailer Manufacturers
A travel trailer is a pull behind type of RV where it has no motor (in fact all the RVs listed below are going to be considered travel trailers, but with unique specifications).
This type of RV is going to be the most popular on the market with the most variations for you to enjoy.
Ranging from 10-40+ feet and weighing between 1,000-10,000 pounds or more, these RVs can provide you with just the basic amenities all the way up to full on luxury when you’re hitting the road.
Just for reference, you will need to have a tow vehicle where you can opt for a truck or a SUV.
Here’s a list of travel trailer manufacturers:
- Airstream
- Alliance RV
- Allen Camper Manufacturing
- Armadillo Trailer Manufacturing
- Bigfoot Industries
- Bowlus
- Casita Travel Trailers
- Chinook RV
- Cortes Campers
- CrossRoads RV
- Cruiser RV

As you can clearly see, a lot of manufacturers make travel trailers…
Fifth Wheel Manufacturers
Fifth wheel trailers are a form of travel trailer, but pulled by a special hitch located in the bed of a truck where the trailer will have a “goose neck” which sits over the truck bed.
FYI, you have to get the hitch specially installed in your truck to tow a fifth wheel.
When you go fifth wheel, you’re getting the ultimate form of camping. In fact, most people who opt for a fifth wheel are full-timers because they’re literally a rolling home. Frankly, they’re a spaceship on wheels.
Generally these RVs will be between 20-40 feet weighing in between 6,000-18,000 pounds. We’ve come across some larger RVs which are just absolute units. Again, spaceship on wheels.
Here’s the list of manufacturers making fifth wheels:
- Allen Camper Manufacturing
- Alliance RV
- CrossRoads RV
- DRV Luxury Suites
- Dutchmen RV
- Escape Trailer Industries
- East to West RV
- Eveland’s, Inc
- Forest River RV

- Palomino RV
- Prime Time Manufacturing
- Redwood RV
- The RV Factory
- Shasta RV
- Starcraft
- VanLeigh RV
- Winnebago Industries
Toy Hauler Manufacturers
Toy haulers are special RVs because they’re specially designed to haul your toys (think your ATVs, motorcycles, dirt bikes, kayaks, and more).
Typically a toy hauler is available as a fifth wheel, but they can also be bumper pull travel trailers, or a class A motorhome.
They have a dedicated “garage” where you park your toys, while also providing you with living space.
Toy haulers are super fun and probably offer the most versatility for families because the garage can actually be used as an extra bedroom (or office!).
Here’s a list of the manufacturers:
- Alliance RV
- ATC Trailer
- Chinook RV
- CrossRoads RV
- Cruiser RV
- DRV Luxury Suites
- Dutchmen RV

- Thor Motor Coach
- VanLeigh RV
- Winnebago Industries
Teardrop Trailers
Teardrop trailers are tiny campers where they’ll provide you with a bed and an outdoor kitchen (some models have a little wet bath but most don’t).
They literally look like a teardrop which is the reason for the name, and they’re going to be one of the smallest RV options available ranging from 6-8 feet in length and at most 2,000 pounds.
They’re perfect for weekend camping trips where you want to camp in remote locations without being in a tent (perfect for those who want to sleep a little more comfortably).
Find out more info on our dedicated page to tear drop trailers…
Here’s a list of the manufacturers:
- Braxton Creek
- Columbia Northwest
- Little Guy Trailers
- nüCamp RV
Truck Camper Manufacturers
Truck campers are an RV type because they’re a self-contained unit with hard walls, but they actually sit in the bed of your truck.
There are two options which include:
- Slide in, and
- Flat bed
Either one requires a truck and they’re going to be right next to tear drop trailers as some of the smallest RV options available ranging from 6-15 feet and weighing between 1,000 and 3,000 pounds.
Here’s a list of the manufacturers:
- Adventurer Manufacturing
- Bigfoot Industries
- Bundutec USA
- Capri Camper
- Host Campers
- Lance Camper

Airstream
Owned by THOR Industries
Considered the “crown jewel” of the RV industry, Airstream has been an iconic manufacturer for travel trailers for almost 100 years.
Founded in 1931 by Wally Byam, this visionary entrepreneur and adventurer set out to help build his own “travel trailer” and realized the avid camper and traveler was in need of a high quality “camping home”.
From the beginning, Airstream stood out among it’s peers by using airplane grade aluminum in an aerodynamic shape to mimic the efficiency of aircraft.
Because of the use of aluminum, Airstream has a reputation for being extremely durable while maintaining a high level of quality and workmanship within the rig itself.
Airstream is now a subsidiary of THOR Industries which purchased them in the 70’s after the oil crisis caused the company to experience some hardship.
Airstream makes 2 different types of RVs which include:
- Travel Trailers, and
- Class B & B+ motorhomes
Airstream Travel Trailer Models

Allen Camper Manufacturing
Privately Held
In 1958, E.C. Peay founded Allen Camper by a series of serendipitous accidents. E.C. was originally dissatisfied with the campers available on the market, and doing what any good entrepreneur does, he built one himself.
Except, before he even finished building it somebody begged him to buy it off his hands. Fun fact, E.C. built 4 campers for customers before he even got the chance to build one for himself. Ever since then, Allen Camper Manufacturing has been making recreational vehicles for a number of loyal customers.
Their main brand is the Idle-Time RV which comes in both a travel trailer and a fifth wheel version.
Alliance RV
Privately Held
Settled in Elkhart, Indiana – the RV manufacturing capital of the world – Alliance RV focuses on producing travel trailers with additional options for fifth wheels and toy haulers.
They must have some kind of luck because they were formed in 2019 with production beginning in early 2020. For those unfamiliar, this is when COVID really took shape within the U.S. and more importantly the RV boom of 2021 was right around the corner!

ATC Trailers
Privately Held
ATC Trailers (aka Aluminum Trailer Company… Trailers) is a toy hauler’s dream come true. This privately held company started in 1999 when Steve Brenneman got fed up with steel frame trailers and wanted a trailer with higher quality that was lightweight and durable.
Out of this desire came the all aluminum trailer his company is now known for.
Currently ATC only manufactures utility trailers, and by utility we just mean toy haulers and commercial grade trailers designed to carry cars, ATVs, golf carts, and much more.
They have a number of models, most of which only belong within the commercial or utility space and aren’t actual RVs, but they do have quite a few toy hauler models worth mentioning, which include:

Bigfoot Industries
Privately Held
Bigfoot RV is a boutique RV manufacturer based in British Columbia, Canada with a focus on building small to mid-size travel trailers and truck campers.
This company has a bit of an interesting history where in 2008 due to the Great Recession they had to shut down shop for a bit of time, but came roaring back in 2010 under new ownership with a keen focus on producing nothing but high quality rigs.
Because Canadians deal with the cold a little more than their friends to the south, Bigfoot has focused on producing rigs that are multi season. This means winter is fair game because of their high density insulation and thermal pane windows.
Bigfoot RV Travel Trailer Models
Bigfoot Industries only has one model line which is the 2500 Series but it comes in three different styles which include:
- 2500 Series – B17FB

In fact, if you love to hunt, fish, or do just about anything outdoors then you’ll find yourself enjoying this truck camper more and more.

Casita Travel Trailers
Privately Held
In 1983, Casita set out to build a strong and durable travel trailer that can provide an ideal camping experience for a couple or even a family of 3-4.
All their trailers are 17’ fiberglass mold sitting on a single axle for simplicity, but also longevity. Granted, the trailers are a bit smaller, but the compact size doesn’t compromise on quality or amenities.
This focus on a lightweight construction makes them very easy to tow (especially with a smaller mid-size SUV) which broadens the range of potential customers.
Casita has five unique models of travel trailers, each with standard or deluxe options. The deluxe models come equipped with additional amenities like a wet bath, malleable bed arrangement, and different bed sizes.
Casita Travel Trailer Models
- Spirit
- Heritage
- Freedom
- Liberty
- Independence
Chinook RV
Privately Held
Based out of the RV manufacturing capital of the world – Elkhart, Indiana – Chinook builds travel trailers, toy haulers, and class B motorhomes.
This company has a bit of a varied past which is actually pretty interesting. They originally started in 1938 as Mair & Son where they were building custom motorhomes. In the 1950’s they were able to integrate a fiberglass design to their motorhomes which helped them launch into a recognizable brand name in the community.
Unfortunately while successful through the back half of the 20th century, the start of the 21st century was not so kind to them. They filed bankruptcy in ‘05 where the CEO at the time kept all the molds and manufacturing jigs until the economy could improve.
That’s when Phil Rizzio purchased the brand and all assets in 2013 and brought this company back to life moving them out to Indiana. Now they produce a number of different rigs.
Chinook Class B Models
Sitting on a Mercedes Sprinter or Ford Transit chassis, they produce a class B and class B+ RV. Chinook claims the most pride on their motorhomes calling themselves “the sportscare of motorhomes”. Their models include:
- Bayside
- Countryside
- Summit
- Maverick (Class B+ Model)
- Summit B+ (Class B+ Model)
Chinook Travel Trailer Models
As part of the brand rebirth, Chinook acquired the RV brand Riverside Travel Trailer and integrated these bumper pull travel trailers into the fold:

- Suite Dream
- Trail Wagon – toy hauler
- Dream Hauler – toy hauler
- RPM – toy hauler
- RPM Extreme – toy hauler
Coach House
Privately Held
One of the few RV manufacturers based out of Florida comes Coach House who exclusively manufacture class B and class B+ motorhomes.
Built on either a Mercedes Sprinter, Ford Transit, or Ford E-450 chassis, Coach House has dedicated them since 1985 to building premium motorhomes utilizing a patented one-piece fiberglass body.
Where many competitors offer multi-joined fiberglass pieces, Coach House opts for a single shell which offers fewer points of failure and an overall better experience.

Coachmen RV
Owned by Forest River
Coachmen RV is a standalone brand within the portfolio of Forest River Inc, and is a classic RV manufacturer and brand.

Columbia Northwest (aka Aliner)
Privately Held
Columbia Northwest is primarily a pop-up and teardrop RV manufacturer making one of the most interesting pop-up rigs on the market (known as the Aliner).
Based out of Mt. Pleasant, PA this company originally started in the beautiful region of Bend, Oregon when Ralph Tait had the idea to create an A-frame style pop up camper that would be light-weight and much more protective for camping during the cold and rainy season.
To his great surprise, people fell in love with his invention because it was light, easily towed, and downright cool.
After more than 40 years of dedication where the entire family worked together to make the organization successful, the Tait family successfully sold the business in 2014 to enjoy a well deserved camping trip.
Today, the Aliner brand retains the same quality and craftsmanship, while innovating for the future.

CrossRoads RV
Owned By Thor Industries
CrossRoads RV is a division of Keystone RV – which ultimately is a brand underneath the THOR Industries umbrella – that was started in 1996 with a focus on producing live-in travel trailers for families.
CrossRoads wanted to focus on providing luxury to the camping experience where upgraded amenities along with custom floor plans became a new standard with every rig.
While they market themselves as a premium brand, you’ve got to give them credit because their cost is not overly expensive. Their least expensive option is ~$23,000 while their fully loaded option is only ~$140,000.
Some of their models include…
CrossRoads RV Travel Trailer Model:
- Sunset Trailer
- Zinger
- Volante
- Cruiser Aire
- Hampton (Destination RV)
CrossRoads RV 5th Wheel Models
- Cameo
- Cruiser
- Cruiser Aire
- Volante

Cruiser RV
Owned By Thor Industries
Cruiser is another brand owned by THOR industries which is known for their travel trailers and toy haulers. Based out of Indiana (no surprise there) Cruiser started building RVs in 1988 and was eventually acquired by Heartland RV in 2015, where Heartland is a division within THOR.
They specialize in building medium-size but ultra light weight rigs for the outdoor adventurer to feel comfortable towing and staying in.
Cruiser RV Travel Trailer Models
Cruiser makes the following models for their RVs:
- Shadow Cruiser
- Radiance
- MPG
- Embrace
- Hitch

DRV Luxury Suites
Owned by Thor Industries
Most tend to think of RVing as if you’re just camping but with a hardshell tent. However, in the RV world, DRV decided to step it up a notch. This isn’t camping anymore, they’re building all out luxury home style rigs for those who want the extra comforts of home while on the road.
In 2003 DRV (a brand of Heartland which is owned by THOR) decided to appeal to a different kind of RV market, the growing group of people looking to travel the world, but keep their loved amenities at home.
You’re not getting an RV, you’re getting a fully furnished luxury home on wheels, complete with all the extras one could ask for, especially the service.
Here are the models of DRV:
DRV Luxury Suites Fifth Wheel Models
- Mobile Suites
- Full House

Dutchmen RV
Owned by Thor Industries
Based out of Indiana since 1988, Dutchman RV is a brand within the Keystone RV portfolio – which ultimately resides within THOR Industries portfolio.
The interesting thing about Dutchman is they also have many separate brands they manufacture with a notable one being Coleman (you know, the lantern company).
This is one of the largest manufacturers within the space and THOR knew from the outset they had a true competitor with Dutchman because they bought them out only 3 years after they started making RVs.
Dutchman make the following travel trailer (including bumper pull, fifth wheel, and toy hauler) models:
Dutchman Travel Trailer Models
- Aspen Trail Series – Aspen Trail & Aspen Trail LE
- Colorado
- Coleman Lantern Series – Coleman, Coleman Lantern, Coleman Lantern LT

East to West
Owned by Forest River
Based out of the RV capital of the world (Elkhart, Indiana), East to West has been building travel trailers AND motorhomes since 2017 when Lisa Liegl Rees – child of the Forest River founder Peter Liegl – decided to build her own style of RV underneath the Forest River portfolio.
It first started with the goal of building a higher end “Forest River” travel trailer which at the time was much more basic for the weekend warrior camper.
Even though East to West is a newer addition to the market, they’ve made a name for themselves as a fairly high quality and light-weight (i.e. inexpensive) travel trailer brand – with a single class C motorhome model they make!
East to West Travel Trailer Models
- Alta
- Della Terra Series – Della Terra, Della Terra LE

Ember RV
Privately Held
Ember is one of those fun and eclectic kinds of RV companies that pop up focusing on a very specific kind of RV consumer that is generally overlooked by most of the bigger manufacturers.
In fact, Ember was started by Ashley Bontrager – who ironically is the granddaughter for the founders of Jayco, Lloyd and Bertha Bontrager – and decided to focus on a niche of people who want a more rugged RV for their travels.
This RV brand is for the boondocker staying away from busy RV resorts or parks, and is looking for the hidden spot to catch the most scenic sunset, or for crossing over rough and bumpy terrain in the pursuit of a great hike.
If you fit into these buckets, you will like an Ember RV. Their models include:
Ember RV Travel Trailer Models
- Overland Series
- Overland Micro Series
- Touring Edition
Entegra Coach
Owned by Thor Industries
Entegra Coach is one of the few manufacturers focusing on high end motorhomes. If you’re looking for the ride of your life, you’ll want to consider Entegra.
They originally started around 2002 with the goal of expanding away from fifth wheel trailers which their sister company was producing, and focusing on strictly diesel pusher motorhomes. However, when the 2008 financial crisis hit, Entegra was caught up in the mix and was sold to Jayco with the intent of expanding their portfolio options.
Then in 2016 all of Jayco was sold to THOR – which included the Entegra Coach series – helping Entegra focus on expanding their offering. It wasn’t until a couple years later they expanded into the class C and eventually class B realm for the community.
Their models include:
Entegra Class A Models
Gas Class A Motorhomes
- Vision
- Vision XL
- Emblem
Diesel Class A Motorhomes
- Reatta

Escape Trailer Industries
Privately Held
Coming all the way from our brothers and sisters in Canada, Escape Trailers is a privately held RV manufacturing company that was originally started by Reace and Tammy Harmatuik who would fix and refurbish RVs and rent them out to friends and family.
Eventually it got to a point where people kept asking for additional features that they figured it would be a good idea to start building and manufacturing their own RVs.
And since 2002 they’ve been doing exactly this, where they’ve focused on creating a really unique fiberglass only rig. They’re sold directly from the manufacturer as opposed to a dealer which helps keep the prices competitive.
Their models include:
Escape Travel Trailer Model
- Escape (17′, 19′, and 21′)
Escape 5th Wheel Model
- Escape 5.0 TA (21′) – their only fifth wheel option, and might we add the smallest fifth wheel we’ve come across… ever.
Eveland’s, Inc
Privately Held
Eveland’s, headquartered in Backus, Minnesota, is a renowned RV manufacturer specializing in crafting Scamp travel trailers and 5th Wheels.
As a family-owned enterprise, Eveland’s has been at the forefront of the RV industry since 1971, offering factory-direct sales.
These much sought-after fiberglass-sided RVs are highly regarded for their exceptional value retention and sturdiness, even under heavy usage.
The manufacturer’s trailers boast a combination of durability and ergonomic design, making them a preferred choice among RV enthusiasts.
The inception of Eveland’s journey into the RV manufacturing world began in July 1971 when Duane Eveland was engaged in repairing damaged mobile homes. During this time, a Boler American factory representative observed his work and expressed interest.
Eventually, the Boler representative proposed a collaboration, inviting Duane Eveland to manufacture trailers for Boler in the US market. Excited by the opportunity, Duane, along with his brother Gerald Eveland and sister Gladys Coffland, negotiated a contract with Boler.
However, Boler American faced challenges and eventually ceased operations in late 1972, leaving Eveland’s Inc. with molds but without a marketing partner. Undeterred, Duane, Gerald, and Gladys decided to forge ahead under their brand, coming up with the name “Scamp” for their trailers.
They started producing and marketing their Scamp trailers, which have since gained widespread acclaim for their quality and ingenuity. The Scamp lineup includes models in 13′, 16′, and 19′ sizes.
Scamp Travel Trailer Models
- Scamp Standard (13’ or 16’)
- Scamp Deluxe (13’ or 16’)
Scamp 5th Wheel Models
Scamp Deluxe (19’) available in 3 different layouts
Fleetwood RV
Owned by REV Group
Based out of… you guessed it, Indiana, Fleetwood is one of the few RV companies still focused on building motorhomes for the everyday RVer. In fact, one of their models (the Discovery) is considered one of the most luxurious and popular class A options on the road over the past 25+ years.
Building class A and B RVs, Fleetwood has been at the RV game for a little over 70 years (since 1950 timeframe) and doesn’t have any intention of slowing down. After their bankruptcy of 2009, and the eventual sale to the REV group, this brand has the money to continue focusing on selling and building new rigs for their hungry fans!
Their models include:
Fleetwood Class A RV Models
Gas Class A Motorhomes
- Flex
- Bounder

Forest River RV
Owned by Forest River
One of the big 2 within the RV industry and only started in 1996 by Peter Leigl. Forest River reigns as the parent company out of Elkhart, Indiana with many unique independent brands in their portfolio.
They produce both motorhomes (class A and C) along with travel trailer RVs within a wide range of RV types.
Something unique about Forest River is the fact that they don’t just produce RVs but a wide range of products including pontoon boats, buses, and cargo trailers.
In a little under 10 years, Forest River grew so quickly that Berkshire Hathaway decided to invest into the company in 2005.
Here are some of their models:

Genesis Supreme RV
Privately Held
Genesis Supreme is a fairly large RV manufacturer based out of California which focuses on building toy haulers and travel trailers.
The story of Pablo Carmona is actually super inspirational as he dropped out of school in Mexico at the age of 6 to work in the fields for money to buy food for him and his family. He eventually found his way to the U.S. at 15 and worked his way up from a ground floor position at a different RV manufacturer to the head of operations.
He then broke away in 2012 to start his own company with Michelle Treangen making custom toy haulers for those who wanted to explore the great outdoors with their favorite toys.
Genesis makes both toy haulers and conventional trailers.

Grand Design RV
Owned by Winnebago
Another fairly new RV brand, Grand Design was founded in 2012 with the goal of only focusing on travel trailers. In fact, Grand Design was founded by ex-Keystone executives who wanted to focus on building a higher quality travel trailer they felt would better serve the market.
Their bet certainly paid off because they quickly got recognition from the market for their superior quality rigs at an affordable price point.
Grand Design only makes travel trailer RVs (which include 5th wheels and toy haulers) and have been given the deserved recognition of better than average quality.

Gulf Stream Coach
Privately Held
Founded in 1971, and still owned by the original family (the Shea family), Gulf Stream has become a rather large privately owned RV manufacturing company with 22 unique brands under their portfolio.
They originally started as a manufactured home business where they switched in 1983 to the RV market focusing on building travel trailers that leveraged some of the innovations learned from building homes.
They now offer a much wider range of products that include both travel trailers and motorhomes. Their full line of products range at just about 140 unique models.
Fun fact, they’re the largest family-owned RV manufacturer within the space.

Heartland RV
Owned by THOR
Another Indiana RV manufacturer, Heartland was started in 2004 and has been building travel trailers ever since.
Brian Brady began the company with a vision of focusing on 5th wheel trailers because he noticed the market moving to a larger rig for more full time living. He then expanded the company to include bumper pull travel trailers and toy haulers later on.
Heartland made a good name for themselves as being an affordable but durable trailer with some pretty innovative floor plans. They’re now the 3rd largest fifth wheel manufacturer, and were purchased in 2010 by THOR Industries who wanted to expand their presence in the fifth wheel space.

Highland Ridge RV
Owned by THOR
Highland Ridge originally started in 2007 as Open Range (which ironically is still one of their model names) with the goal of producing travel trailers that could handle all four seasons.
For 7 years Open Range was growing slowly but gaining some traction within the community. So much so that Jayco decided to purchase the company in 2007 but changed the name to Highland Range, keeping their Open Range name as a model line.
Highland is now based out of Indiana and is ultimately within the THOR industry portfolio as Jayco was purchased by THOR in 2016.
Highland primarily focuses on lightweight but durable rigs designed to support a camper during the different seasons.

Holiday Rambler
Owned by REV
Holiday Rambler is one of those companies whose backstory can take an entire afternoon to explain.
Long story short, the company was founded in 1953 by Richard Klingler who basically built motorhomes in his backyard. He eventually sold to Harley-Davidson in 1986 who eventually sold the brand to Monaco Coach. The brand then declared bankruptcy in 2009 (you know… the Great Recession) and was ultimately purchased by Navistar who was then acquired by REV Group in 2013 (who currently owns Holiday Rambler).
Whew… that was a lot.
Anyways, Holiday Rambler only focuses on class A motorhomes and are designed to be lived in full-time where they’ve found a really lucrative pocket of people.

Host Campers
Privately Held
Host Campers is one of the few truck camper only manufacturers, and even more rare they make campers outside of Indiana (in fact, they’re based out of Bend, Oregon).
It should be noted that host campers is a great name because they’re trucker campers so big you could literally host a house party in them. Almost all their models include multiple slide outs with a range of standard features and amenities that come at no extra cost.
Designed for full season wear-and-tear, these campers are meant to be used as full-time rigs with the ability to boondock and dry camp with ease.

inTech RV
Privately Held
inTech actually started as a fiber optic splicing trailer manufacturing company (certainly had no idea this existed until learning about this company, now I need to thank my local fiber splicer for keeping the internet going after storms…).
With the experience of building these commercial style trailers, inTech decided to break into the residential segment of RV manufacturing in 2016 by building small teardrop style trailers.

Jayco
Owned by THOR
Jayco is considered one of the biggest names in the RV space. Even bigger now because of their acquisition by THOR Industries who bought them in 2016 (for a little over half a billy by the way).
Started in 1968, Jayco has expanded to manufacturing travel trailers and motorhomes with many different models and floor plans for the RV enthusiast to enjoy.
Jayco has done an amazing job of focusing on larger family style rigs with floor plans designed for a family of 4 to 6 while still maintaining a super light frame so you can tow a Jayco with a regular size pickup truck.

Keystone RV Company
Owned by THOR
Founded out of Goshen, Indiana, Keystone RVs focuses on travel trailers with a significant focus on toy haulers (in fact, they’re the largest seller of toy haulers in the U.S.) since 1996.
In almost comical fashion, they blew up fairly quickly and THOR industries purchased them in 2001. Since then, Keystone has had more opportunity to procure affordable fifth wheels, toy haulers, travel trailers, and even the occasional destination trailer.

K.Z. RV
Owned by THOR
Based out of Indiana and manufacturing RVs since 1972, KZ is known for their high quality travel trailers (which include fifth wheels and toy haulers).
KZ is another brand that falls under the THOR industries umbrella (who acquired them in 2014) and has been a bit of a low-key player in the space for many years.
However, they deserve a little more recognition because they consistently rank at the top for quality with happy campers across the country.
In the RV space, it’s very rare to see a company last for 50+ years, and the only way to do this is by making RVs people actually like.
From ultra lightweight to luxury rigs, KZ most likely has a model for you.

Lance Camper
Owned by REV
Headquartered in Lancaster, California, Lance Camper specializes in crafting top-notch travel trailers and truck campers.
The company’s journey began back in 1965, primarily focusing on producing exceptional truck campers. However, it wasn’t until 2009 that they expanded their offerings to include travel trailers.
In 2018, Lance Camper was acquired by the REV group, marking a significant milestone in their history.
Renowned for their superior craftsmanship, Lance has earned an excellent reputation in the industry.
Satisfied customers often express their contentment with their purchases. While Lance may not be among the most budget-friendly travel trailer manufacturers, the slightly higher price tag is justified by the use of premium materials and the long-lasting value these trailers provide as a worthwhile investment.

Newmar Corporation
Owned by Winnebago
Newmar is one of the best motorhome brands you can find, and they make luxury RVs that are known all across the country.
They offer a wide range of Class A coaches with both diesel and gas engines to choose from. What’s cool is that they have many different designs and layouts for their RVs.
You can buy a brand new one starting at around $120,000, but if you want all the fancy extras, it can get much more expensive.
Their entry-level model, the Bay Star Sport, is a good starting option. But don’t be surprised if you see people spending a lot of money on a Newmar RV.
They have a super fancy one called the King Aire diesel pusher that starts at over $900,000! With all the add-ons and choices, it’s possible to spend over a million dollars on it.
The best thing about Newmar’s coaches is their top-notch quality and how long they last. They put a lot of effort and care into making them, and it shows. Their work ethic is tied to their faith-centered mission, which makes them even more special.
Newmar Corporation is based in Nappanee, Indiana, and they make Class A gas and diesel motorhomes. They’ve been in the RV business since 1968 and were privately owned until Winnebago Industries bought them in September 2019.
Even though some of their models were introduced back in the 1980s, they are still loved and trusted by many in the RV industry. The Dutch Star and Mountain Aire models have been really popular, and that’s because Newmar was the first to introduce cool features like slide-out space in Class A coaches and the Comfort Drive™ steering system, which is now standard on all their models.
Even though they focus more on Class A coaches, Newmar also makes some awesome Class C and Super C coaches. These high-end vehicles are built on a Freightliner chassis, which means they are not only comfortable but also very powerful for a great travel experience.

NeXus RV
Privately Held
NeXus RV is a motorhome company based in Elkhart, Indiana. They make different types of motorhomes, including Class A, Class B+, and Super C models.
They started their business in 2010, and at first, they sold their RVs directly from the factory. But now, they sell them through dealerships.
Even though NeXus RV has been around for just over ten years, they have an interesting history. In 2010, two people named Dave Middleton and Claude Donati founded the company.
They started by selling their RVs directly, but in 2017, they changed their approach and began selling through dealers instead.
NeXus has become one of the fastest-growing motorhome manufacturers in the USA. They caught the attention of A & E Realty, a company owned by Lerman Enterprises, and in 2019, A & E Realty acquired a majority share in NeXus RV.
What’s cool about NeXus RVs is that they offer a lot of customization options. They start with a basic floor plan, and then customers can upgrade and personalize their RV according to their preferences and needs. Buying directly from the factory makes the dream of owning an RV more affordable for many people.
NeXus makes various models of motorhomes that can be customized. Customers can change things like cabinetry, paint theme, and flooring. They can even add features like solar power or a fully functioning outdoor kitchen.
One of their models, the Class B+ Viper, is designed to be super efficient for exploring and visiting national parks. Another great thing is that NeXus allows buyers to build their own gasoline-powered motorhome if they don’t want the standard design.
They have different models like the Phantom 25 with more sleeping space and the Phantom 31 with a larger kitchen area. And if you need bunk beds, there’s the Phantom 32 model. So you can pick the one that suits your needs best!

Northern Lite
Privately Held
Northern Lite is a Canadian company that makes special RVs called truck campers. They’re located in Kelowna, British Columbia, Canada. They’ve been doing this since 1989 and are privately owned.
At their manufacturing facility in Kelowna, everything is super modern, from the fiberglass shop to the plumbing department. What’s neat is that they check every camper while they’re being made, not just at the end of the assembly line.
In 2017, Northern Lite became part of KV Capital, which owns other cool things like Off Grid Trailers and Escape Trailer. But even though they got acquired, one of the original owners, Mac Donkin, still runs the company. Mac, along with Lloyd Gartrell, bought Northern Lite back in the early 90s.
Northern Lite is known for making lightweight truck campers that can handle all four seasons. Right now, they have 13 different models to choose from. No matter if you want a small camper for a short bed truck with a wet bath or a big camper for a long bed truck with a dry bath, they’ve got you covered!

Northstar Campers
Northstar Campers is a family-owned business that makes truck campers. They’re based in Cedar Falls, Iowa, and they’ve been doing this since 1955.
It all started when the Willett family began making truck campers in Cedar Falls. At first, the dad and son worked together, and they called their operation Texson Campers. Then, in the 1980s, the son, Rex, took charge, and they changed the name to Northstar.
For many years, the Willett family has been working hard to create the best truck campers out there. And the best part is that they’re still family-owned and run, not owned by some big company.
In 2010, Trucker Magazine visited their factory again after being there just two years before. They were impressed to see that Northstar hadn’t changed much, and they praised the company for its commitment to making top-quality truck campers. So, Northstar continues to do well and stays focused on making the best campers they can!

Oliver Travel Trailers
Privately Held
Oliver Travel Trailers is a family-owned business based in Hohenwald, Tennessee. They’ve been crafting travel trailers since 2007 and sell them directly from their factory.
What makes these trailers special is that they’re made of fiberglass, which is super durable and has fewer issues with leaks compared to traditional RVs. They hold their value better, too! Plus, since they sell directly to customers, they are more affordable than others.
If you want an Oliver camping trailer, you have to order it directly from the manufacturer because they don’t sell them at RV dealerships. This means you get personalized service and can pick every detail when you place your order – just like building a house!
Oliver trailers are made with top-quality materials, similar to those used in high-quality yachts. They’re built to last a lifetime, with very few parts needing replacement over a 20-year span. Even the frame and steps are made of aluminum, so no worries about rust.
One unique feature of Oliver trailers is their double-hull design. Most other fiberglass campers have a single hull, but Oliver’s double hull allows for better insulation, making it one of the best 4-season fiberglass trailers out there. However, the double hull also adds some weight to the trailer, so there are pros and cons to consider.
All in all, Oliver Travel Trailers are known for their durability, quality, and insulation, making them a great choice for camping adventures.

Roadtrek
Owned by RAPIDO Group
Roadtrek’s roots can be traced back to Cambridge, Ontario, Canada, where it has been a prominent manufacturer of gas and diesel Class B motorhomes since 1980.
The visionary behind Roadtrek, Jac Hanemaayer, had his first taste of the RV industry when he collaborated on designing a unique model with Home & Park Vehicles Limited back in 1974.
Captivated by the process of merging the luxuries of a larger motorhome into a compact and easily maneuverable van, Hanemaayer’s passion for the RV business intensified. This enthusiasm led him to take a decisive step – he acquired the company, embracing his role as an innovative entrepreneur.
In 1980, Hanemaayer’s ingenuity came to life as he reimagined the Roadtrek motorhome, incorporating the now-famous sweeping roofline, lowered floor, and innovative three-section floor plan, setting a new standard for the industry.
While Roadtrek’s journey has been filled with twists and turns, the late 2010s brought significant challenges. In 2016, the company was acquired by the Erwin Hymer Group, but the union ended on a less than positive note, with production coming to a halt.
However, the resilient Roadtrek brand found hope in 2019 when it was acquired by Groupe Rapido. The acquisition birthed Roadtrek Inc., now headquartered in Cambridge, Ontario, Canada, with an unwavering commitment to crafting top-quality Class B motorhomes exclusively for the North American market.

Rugged Mountain RV
Privately-Held
Nestled in the picturesque city of Boise, Idaho, Rugged Mountain RV stands tall as a renowned manufacturer of top-notch truck campers. What sets them apart is not just their exceptional craftsmanship, but also their deep-rooted family values that have been driving their success since their inception in 2016.
A fascinating tale of entrepreneurial spirit lies at the heart of Rugged Mountain RV. It all started with Jesse Collinsworth, the visionary owner, who also happens to be the mastermind behind the parent company, Tiny Idahomes. Jesse’s journey took a transformative turn in 2014 when he decided to bid farewell to his life as a traveling electrician and venture into the realm of tiny home manufacturing.
The subsequent years witnessed the birth of the Rugged Mountain motorhome brand, with Jesse at the helm of affairs. In 2017, with immense pride, Collinsworth announced the production of their first two motorhome models. The response from the market was overwhelming, as consumers marveled at the unparalleled quality and innovation infused into every vehicle.
Unlike numerous motorhome companies hailing from Indiana, Rugged Mountain chose a different path, establishing its roots in Nampa, Idaho. Here, they established a modern and state-of-the-art manufacturing facility, enabling them to stay ahead in the fiercely competitive industry.

Shasta RV
Owned by Forest River
Headquartered in the charming town of Middlebury, Indiana, Shasta RV stands as a distinguished manufacturer of travel trailers and fifth wheels, boasting a rich history dating back to 1941.
The roots of Shasta RV trace back to its visionary founder, Robert Gray, who established the company with a noble purpose in mind—to provide mobile accommodation for the valiant members of the United States armed forces during the wartime era. Little did he know that his venture would blossom into an industry giant that would shape the RV landscape for decades to come.
Among Shasta RV’s impressive lineup, their prized fifth wheel model reigns supreme, distinguished by its opulent features, luxurious interiors, and generous floor plans. Towing this elegant wonder is a breeze for most modern cars, promising an unparalleled journey for any road trip enthusiast.

Through the years, Shasta RV thrived and evolved, maintaining its coveted status as one of the industry’s most sought-after brands. The brand embraced progress, continuously developing larger, more innovative RVs to align with the demands of contemporary travelers.

The 1970s witnessed significant changes in the company’s ownership, with the likes of WR Grace Company and Coachman Industries Inc. taking the reins. However, despite the fluctuations, Shasta RV persevered, leaving an indelible mark on the industry’s fabric.
In a surprising turn of events, the mid-2000s saw a temporary pause in Shasta’s trailer production. Yet, in a remarkable twist, the brand experienced a renaissance in 2010 when Forest River revived it under its wings through the acquisition of Coachmen RV.
Once again, the iconic Shasta trailers graced the highways, bringing back the nostalgia of classic designs while infusing modern conveniences for a truly bespoke camping experience.
