Starting with Frank Bretz in 1967, the Bretz RV family has carried on the tradition of making so many family memories possible.
Frank 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 in 1967.
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.
