Who Owns the RV Industry?

How to read it

  • Top bar: the entire US RV industry split by corporate parent. Width = % of annual unit shipments.
  • Middle bar: divisions inside the active parent (Heartland, Keystone, Jayco …). Width = that division's share of the parent's volume.
  • Bottom grid: individual brand / model lines. Tile size ≈ unit volume. Click any tile to browse live UpfitIQ inventory.

Where the data comes from

Corporate-parent shipment totals come from RVIA monthly wholesale surveys (most recent: 2024 calendar year). Division and brand-level estimates are hand-curated by UpfitIQ from public 10-Ks, dealer inventory floors, and the manufacturer registry we maintain. Acquisition years are sourced from press releases.

We refresh the map monthly when RVIA publishes new data.

Why this matters

When five brands on the same dealer lot all flow up to one parent company, "shopping around" inside that lot doesn't get you what most buyers think it does. UpfitIQ exists to make the actual unit — the chassis, the payload, the floorplan — the thing you compare, not the badge on the front cap.
