Travisma 1,317 Posted August 5, 2022 Report Share Posted August 5, 2022 Interesting chart showing how there are 3 main players in RV manufacturing and only a couple handfuls of independents. Biggest surprise to me was that Thor owns Airstream. https://www.rvbrands.info/brandTree.html?fbclid=IwAR05lBqq4fm54xrFWtfY5s7Fb5Aq7HChZW_Zr8dqSGkwWfv4-v66rewD-qo Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Since going public in 1984, THOR has grown both organically and through strategic acquisitions in both recreational vehicles (RVs) and buses. Today, the THOR Family of Companies is one of the world’s largest manufacturers of recreational vehicles. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
keith_h 420 Posted August 6, 2022 Report Share Posted August 6, 2022 As we have been looking to replace our travel trailer I've learned a lot about who owns who and what brands are part of what subsidiaries. I might be off some but I recall Thor and Forest River control about 80% of the RV market with Winnebago in third place with 8%. That doesn't leave much left for the rest of the bunch.
