Get to Know Forest River

They’ve grown to have a great reputation in the industry and our team at Sun & Fun RVs is proud to carry their brand. Continue reading to learn a little about the history, mission, and ownership experience.
The Vision
Peter Liegl had a vision to create an RV company that was dedicated to helping people get outdoors. He wanted to accomplish this by creating better RVs, and in 1996 he brought his vision to life. It all began in Elkhart, IN, where Peter built the first prototype and grew his idea from the ground up.
Expanding the Portfolio
Since the company began, Forest River has been able to create high quality recreational vehicles in every classification. Today you can find motorhomes, travel trailers, fifth wheels, pop-ups, toy haulers, and destination trailers bearing the Forest River name.
Along with their outstanding portfolio of RVs, they also have a tie to other manufactured products including pontoons, commercial trucks, and cargo trailers. This diversity allows their team to have a unique perspective and utilize lessons learned from other areas of operation. The original vision still holds true for the company, as they aim to provide the best experience for new owners and seasoned RVers alike!
Commitment to Experience
As Forest River continues to focus on building high quality RVs and making the outdoors more accessible to everyone, they also commit to providing an outstanding ownership experience. Beyond their nationwide resources, dealerships, and distributors, they’ve also created a network of owners.
In 2011, the Forest River Owners Group, or FROG for short, was formed to allow owners to build a community. Membership is free, and participants are able to attend events and tours throughout North America!
RV ownership is exciting and Forest River proves to be a top choice. With options to suit everyone’s needs and a history of hard work, we’d be shocked if you weren’t interested in viewing their RVs in person! We are located in Tiffin, IA, and offer great financing options. Our team is proud to serve the RV communities surrounding Iowa City and Davenport.
