Jayco, Inc. was founded in 1968 by a man of strong faith and vision. The late Lloyd J. Bontrager, family man and inventor, felt he could build the world a better RV. He longed to create a company of his own, one that clearly reflected his ideals: a company where everyone would be treated as "family".

With encouragement from his wife Bertha, Lloyd started Jayco on their farm–in two chicken houses and a barn! He developed his own prototype camping trailer and a unique lifter system for fold-down campers, the basic design of which is patented and still in use today. By the end of 1968, his fledgling company of 15 employees had sold 132 fold-down camping trailers. Today, Jayco's "family" of employees has grown to nearly 4,500 people, while more than 1.2 million people have joined our "extended family" of owners.

Jayco, Inc. develops and manufactures a full-line of recreation vehicles under the brands Jayco, Entegra Coach, Open Range RV, Starcraft RV and Heartland RV. The Jayco Family of Companies company headquarters is located in rural Middlebury, Indiana and markets RVs through a nationwide network of dealers. With a history dating back to 1968, Jayco's mission remains unchanged–to build exemplary RV's and provide customers with extraordinary service after the sale.

Whether your travels take you through Middlebury or you simply want a closer look at how we build our RV's, please visit us. We look forward to meeting you!
