In virtually any conversation about Elkhart County and the City of Elkhart, the recreational vehicle industry will surely be mentioned. While the area boasts a diverse industrial base, no single industry has a greater influence on the local economy than the recreational vehicle business. Fully one of every four jobs in Elkhart is tied to manufacturing RV's or component parts and services directly connected to the RV industry. This multi-billion dollar industry shipped over 300,000 units annually in recent years and is responsible for well over 1 billion dollars in annual wages paid to workers in the 4-county area surrounding Elkhart.
From its modest beginnings over 60 years ago, the recreational vehicle business has grown to a national industry with a major portion of its corporations headquartered in the immediate Elkhart area. To visit the Elkhart County RV Industry: Click Here.
