History

Frank Bretz was a cornerstone of the automotive industry. His journey began in the world of automotive parts, a foundation that would later prove invaluable. A pivotal moment arrived when he and his wife, Vi, assumed ownership of their family's service station. It was here that the seeds of a new venture were sown.

A simple customer inquiry ignited a spark: Why not travel trailers? This question marked a turning point. By 1969, Frank’s entrepreneurial spirit had transformed the business, seamlessly integrating travel trailer sales into their operations.

As the business evolved, so too did its physical location. Several moves were necessary to accommodate growth and optimize customer experience. A particularly significant relocation came about when Frank’s son secured a prime piece of land from a competing RV dealership, laying the groundwork for the company’s future success.

Through generations, the Bretz family’s commitment to the business has remained steadfast. As the torch is passed to the next generation, a profound realization has emerged: selling RVs is more than just a transaction. It’s about creating lasting memories for families. Frank Bretz’s legacy is the embodiment of this philosophy, and his spirit continues to inspire as the company moves forward, crafting experiences that enrich lives.

Mission 

Family is at the heart of every sale we make. While there are plenty of things you buy for your family that you might consider “boring but important,” boats and RVs are there purely for your enjoyment. At Bretz RV & Marine, it's about equipping your family with high-quality items that'll allow you to have the maximum amount of fun while putting the stresses and concerns of everyday life behind you. And should anything ever go wrong with your boat or RV, our team will be on-hand to get you moving again and provide any additional support you might need.
