Fast Fact! (Hint- Involves Elkhart Indiana)

Did you know that Elkhart Indiana is the RV capital of the world?

The majority of RVs made in the United States (and thus the world) are
manufactured in Elkhart, Indiana.

How did north-central Indiana become the RV Capital of the World?

Through a combination of timing, location, and availability of the right type of

workers, this part of Indiana became the center of US RV manufacturing
starting in the 1930s.

This article gives a brief rundown on the how's and why's of this, in case you
were wondering.

Who Owns What?

The sad fact about the RV industry is that very companies own the majority
of the RV brands that currently exist.

This hasn't always been the case, but since the 1980s (and ramped up in the
90s), larger companies have been snapping up independent RV brands.

Four companies control most of the RV manufacturing in the United States,

with two really large players.

All four companies are publicly traded, which means they have a fiduciary
responsibility to their shareholders to make them money.

This means that cost-cutting measures are rampant in the RV industry.

And this is VERY obvious if you've spent any time looking at how the majority
of RVs are built.

It's downright scary how crappy the quality is for many (most?) RV brands.

Below is a breakdown of who owns what RV brands.

Thor Industries and Forest River are the two industry giants with an 80%
market share.

Winnebago is a distant third with an under 10% market share.

REV Group rounds out the top 4.

Which is a big two with a couple of 'minor' players and then all the rest.

Thor Industries Brands

Thor Industries is a publicly-traded company that owns all the below RV

brands.

They are the world's largest recreational vehicle manufacturer with close to a
50% North American market share.

1. Airstream
2. CrossRoads RV
3. Cruiser RV
4. DRV Luxury Suites
5. Dutchmen
6. Entegra Coach
7. Heartland
8. Highland Ridge RV
9. Jayco
10.Keystone RV Company
11.K-Z RV
12.Redwood Residential Vehicles
13.Starcraft
14.Thor Motor Coach
15.Venture RV

Forest River Brands

Since 2005 Forest River has been owned by Berkshire Hathaway (Warren
Buffet's company) and has about a 33% North American market share.

Forest River owns the following RV brands:

1. Coachmen RV

2. Dynamax

3. East to West RV

4. Forest River RV

5. Palomino RV

6. Prime Time Manufacturing

7. Shasta RV

Winnebago Industries Brands

Winnebago Industries is a publicly traded company with around an 8%

share of the North American RV market.

They purchased Grand Design in 2016 and announced the purchase of

Newmar in September 2019.

 Winnebago

 Newmar

 Grand Design

REV Group Brands

REV Group is a fairly new player in the North American RV market.

Formally known as Allied Specialty Vehicles, it was formed in 2010.

In 2016 the name was changed to REV Group and they became a public
company the same year.

REV Group is the smallest of the 'big four' RV holding companies, with a
single-digit share of the North American RV market.

1. American Coach
2. Fleetwood RV
3. Monaco
4. Holiday Rambler
5. Renegade RV
6. Midwest Automotive Designs
7. Lance Camper

Privately Held Brands (Also Your Best Bets)

The following RV brands are privately held (including family-owned

manufacturers).

While there is a fairly large number of RV manufacturers listed here,

combined they only make up around 20% of the North American RV market.

In other words, overall they are fairly small players.

However, if you are looking for a quality RV, this is the list to start with (there
are a few exceptions with the larger brands - see our best RV brands post).
