Forest River, Inc. was established in 1996 by Peter Liegl, an entrepreneur with a vision to enhance the RV experience. The company quickly gained traction in the industry by focusing on quality construction, innovative design, and a commitment to customer satisfaction. Forest River offers a wide array of RVs, catering to various needs and preferences, from families seeking spacious and affordable travel trailers to those in the market for luxurious motorhomes.

One of Forest River’s key strengths lies in its diverse product portfolio. The company manufactures not only RVs but also cargo trailers, utility trailers, pontoon boats, and buses, making it a one-stop shop for outdoor enthusiasts. This wide range allows Forest River to cater to a broader market and adapt to changing consumer demands.

Forest River’s commitment to innovation is evident in its continuous efforts to improve its manufacturing processes and incorporate new technologies. The company has introduced several innovative features in its RVs, such as versatile living spaces with optimized space utilization, smart climate control systems that automatically adjust interior temperature, and solar-powered amenities for off-grid adventures.

In 2005, Forest River was acquired by Berkshire Hathaway, a move that further solidified its position in the RV industry. This acquisition provided Forest River with the financial resources and stability to continue its growth and expansion.
