Brands that are not owned by Thor?

Thinking seriously about a new bumper pull toy hauler and would prefer something that isn't made by Thor. What else is there? Ideal would be ~30 ft long, at least 1 slide and separate garage and bedroom.

  • Actually, Airstream was the first company that Thor bought. Indeed, Thor was initially founded in 1980 for the purchase of Aitsream. The name, Thor, is a combination of the first two letters of the two principals' names, Wade Thompson and Peter Orthwein. If I'm not mistaken, it was Beatrice Foods that Thor bought Airstream from.

    I would guess that the thor management philosophy will infest any firms that they buy.
