The 6 Best RV Manufacturers in the RV Industry (or so we think!)
And what sets their RV brands apart from the rest
Johnnie Walker RV has been in business for over half a century, so we’ve learned a thing or two about what sets the best RVs apart from the competition. We considered everything from workmanship, floorplans, quality interiors, and manufacturer support to affordability when compiling our list of the best RV manufacturers.
#1 Winnebago for trust and innovation – Shop Winnebago!
There’s a reason Winnebago is a household name, even with people who don’t RV. This manufacturer has been in business even longer than we have — since 1958. And in that time, it’s established itself as the king of the road for people with smaller and larger budgets alike.
Winnebago has managed to stand out from the competition with incredible space-saving features. With tables that miraculously appear from underneath beds and ample hidden storage, their brands take the guesswork out of the organization.
In addition to their clever use of space, Winnebago offers free membership to their premium roadside assistance program for all new buyers. Considering how easy it already is for this manufacturer to make sales based on their name alone, this is an impressive benefit that showcases Winnebago’s commitment to ensuring peace of mind and product reliability.
#2 Jayco for quality and unmatched warranty – Shop Jayco!
Just 10 years younger than Winnebago, our next RV manufacturer is Jayco RV. This company has been around long enough to earn some major RV credibility. One of the top names in RVing, they put serious craftsmanship into their RVs, offering features such as a roof that’s 50% stronger than the competition.
And when it comes to warranties, Jayco is an industry leader with a two-year limited warranty and a three-year structural warranty on all models. What’s more, Jayco partners with several of its providers, meaning many of the interior items come with their own warranties as well.
#3 Forest River for versatility and community – Shop Forest River!
What sets Forest River apart from other manufacturers is the vast array of floorplans available in their travel trailer, motorhome, fifth wheel, and toy hauler brands. When it comes to your needed RV specifications, Forest River offers something for everyone, all at affordable prices.
Forest River set out to make RVs that everyone could enjoy — from first time campers to seasoned RV owners. One way they encourage a love of the outdoors is by building community among RVers in the Forest River Owners’ Group, or FROG. This group holds events throughout the nation for Forest River owners to meet up, build friendships, and make memories that last.
#4 Heartland RV for life, family and adventure. – Shop Heartland RV!
Heartland was founded over 17 years ago by a group of RV veterans. In fact, Johnnie Walker RV was one of Heartland’s first partners. Heartland RV is a leader in the RV industry with everything towable.
