Hoover's coverage by Jeff Dorsch

Overview

The Vikings and their Norse gods might have laughed at the idea of bathrooms on wheels, but that doesn't slow down RV maker Thor Industries. The company makes a range of RVs, including motor homes and travel trailers. Brands include the well-known Airstream and Dutchmen lines. It is also a leading US producer of small and midsize buses. Thor has bus and RV plants, as well as distributors, throughout the US and Canada. It also operates a joint venture with Cruise America that rents RVs to the public. The company was formed in 1980 when co-founder and CEO Wade Thompson and co-founder and vice chairman Peter Orthwein purchased the ailing Airstream business.
