Terex's Recreational Vehicles Segment hosted its annual Dealer Open House from Monday, Sept. 28 to Wednesday, Sept. 30 at the Renegade Customer Experience Center in Elkhart. The event featured 30 units on display: 18 from Fleetwood RV, Holiday Rambler and American Coach, and 12 from Renegade RV. Dealers could place orders for new units, and segment president Gary Gunter said dealer feedback will inform Model Year 2028 designs.

Four companies control the majority of RV brands in the North American market: REV Group, Forest River, Winnebago, and Thor Industries. REV Group owns Holiday Rambler, Fleetwood, American Coach, and Monaco Coach; Forest River, owned by Warren Buffett, includes Coachmen, Berkshire Luxury Coach, Dynamax, and East To West; Winnebago owns Grand Design and Newmar; Thor Industries owns Airstream, Dutchmen, Jayco, Tiffin, and CrossRoads. Consolidation may lower costs and simplify the supply chain, but can also lead to reduced quality control and cookie-cutter designs.

The new Renegade Explorer TS, built on a Freightliner Cascadia 116 chassis with a second powered rear axle, includes a 12.5kW generator, 540Ah lithium battery system and factory-installed Starlink. MY27 models offer expanded lithium batteries, larger inverters and upgraded solar packages for extended off-grid capability.

Tom McGuire, owner of All-American Coach Co., reports that due to rising diesel prices (up to $5.74 per gallon in Toledo), RV owners are increasingly opting for nearby campgrounds rather than long-distance trips. He notes that many arrive on Friday evening and stay the entire weekend, saving fuel. McGuire does not expect sales to decline, citing the pandemic experience when business grew despite expectations.
