We are a consumer based company that rates Extreme RV's in North America. Our rating guides feature Extreme Travel Trailers.
We were not able to interview Extreme RVs but we wanted to include them in this rating guide. According to the company’s website, “Extreme RVs, LLC was created from an employee purchase of KIT Manufacturing Company’s RV Division on January 29, 2003. Extreme RVs retained the former company’s product lines: Companion, Road Ranger, Extreme SUTs, Sportsmaster, and Monterey.
The former company, KIT Manufacturing, had been in business since 1945. This company was started as a co-partnership in October 1945 at Long Beach, California, for the purpose of manufacturing and marketing a pre-fabricated, camper-type, teardrop trailer which could be shipped in a "kit" or package complete with component parts. The sportsman could then assemble the unit himself. Over the years, the company developed a reputation for a quality built unit. KIT units maintain one of the highest resale values on the market.
KIT became well known for its Companion and Road Ranger product lines; and prior to the sale of the company began growing its Extreme Sport Utility Trailer line. The company recently introduced the 2007 Mega-Lite sport utility travel trailer (SURV), available in three floor plans in lengths of 19 to 29 feet. With a 7,670-pound GVWR, the wood-and-aluminum Mega-Lite is designed to be towed behind a half-ton pickup truck. Extreme RV grew from 2 units a week to 120 units a week and continues to increase from there.
