For over a century, Starcraft has built a reputation on
crafting iconic campers at affordable prices. Dating back to
1903, Starcraft's legacy of quality and innovation has evolved from farm
equipment and marine manufacturing to become a trusted name in the RV
industry. Located in the heart of Northern Indiana's Amish country, Starcraft
uses the latest technologies and highest-quality materials to deliver
dependable RVs.
At Freedom RV in Marana, Arizona, we believe Starcraft RVs
take worries and "what-ifs" off the table. Their reliable products make it
easy to enjoy nature as it was meant to be: uncomplicated. We call it
camping, pure and simple.
The Storied History of Starcraft RV
Starcraft's roots run deep, back to a time when ingenuity shaped American
industry. After early success in farming and marine industries, Starcraft set
its sights on the growing RV market. A breakthrough lifter system, invented by
Lloyd Bontrager (who later founded Jayco), quickly put Starcraft on the map as
a leading camper manufacturer.
Well-established as a top RV builder by the 1990s, today's Starcraft has
expanded its product lines, facilities, and workforce throughout North Central
Indiana, and its reputable name throughout North America. Starcraft continues
to focus on its commitment to innovation and leadership as a respected
travel trailer
and
fifth wheel
RV manufacturer.
