Manufactures & Subsidiaries.

I don't know if this is the right spot if not please do move my question. We are in the research phase of buying and have been trying to wade through the different manufactures. It seems to us like there are basically only a handful of floor plans being made by an awful lot of manufactures. So are they all owned or subsidiaries of just a couple of companies?

    Hi,

    I've never understood why Murphy beds don't get more use in RV's. It would seem a great way to have more living space in the day time.

    There are a number of different companies. But really there are only so many configurations you can come up with on a rig that is 8' wide and 35'-40' long.

    There are only a limited number of viable floor plans that can fit in the basically rectangular footprint of the typical RV, so brand to brand similarities should not be surprising. That said, there are a few "conglomerate" RV companies such as Forest River and Thor that make a variety of brands, models, and RV types, while others such as Tiffin, make only a few models of a given type.
