HALL OF FAME

RV/MH Hall of Fame

The RV/MH Hall of Fame preserves a permanent record of the pioneers, entrepreneurs, innovators, and leaders whose vision, service, and achievements helped shape the recreational vehicle and manufactured housing industries.

A legacy of industry leadership

The RV/MH Heritage Foundation was formed in March 1972 by industry leaders who believed the people and achievements shaping recreational vehicles and manufactured housing deserved lasting recognition. The Hall of Fame became a central expression of that mission, creating a continuing historical record through each induction class. Hall of Fame recognition is more than an annual ceremony: inductee biographies, portraits, archival materials, and the traditions surrounding induction connect individual achievement with the broader history preserved throughout the Foundation’s museums and Kindlund Library & Archives.
