History
Frank Bretz was a cornerstone of the automotive industry. His journey began in the world of automotive parts, a foundation that would later prove invaluable. A pivotal moment arrived when he and his wife, Vi, assumed ownership of their family's service station. It was here that the seeds of a new venture were sown.
A simple customer inquiry ignited a spark: Why not travel trailers? This question marked a turning point. By 1969, Frank’s entrepreneurial spirit had transformed the business, seamlessly integrating travel trailer sales into their operations.
As the business evolved, so too did its physical location. Several moves were necessary to accommodate growth and optimize customer experience. A particularly significant relocation came about when Frank’s son secured a prime piece of land from a competing RV dealership, laying the groundwork for the company’s future success.
Through generations, the Bretz family’s commitment to the business has remained steadfast. As the torch is passed to the next generation, a profound realization has emerged: selling RVs is more than just a transaction. It’s about creating lasting memories for families. Frank Bretz’s legacy is the embodiment of this philosophy, and his spirit continues to inspire as the company moves forward, crafting experiences that enrich lives.
