Soaring Eagle Campers, located in Wakarusa, Indiana, announced that it has been approved for RV Manufacturer Membership by the RV Industry Association (RVIA), effective Jan. 1.
“We are excited to announce that we have been approved for membership by RVIA and look forward to this next stage in our development as a company,” said Scott Tuttle, a partner at Soaring Eagle Campers. “We will proudly wear the RVIA brand on our campers. Joining and being approved by RVIA will allow us more opportunities for exposure for our unique campers, including opening us up to some retail shows that were restricted to RVIA Certification.”
With its new AERIE model having full amenities and systems, the company also wanted customers and dealers to be assured that Soaring Eagle is building its campers to the highest standards of excellence, as monitored and determined by RVIA.
Soaring Eagle Campers has been building all-aluminum and composite constructed truck campers since 2022. While the recent release of the AERIE model (designed for ¾ ton trucks and larger) has attracted a lot of publicity for the company, including receiving acclaim and awards from industry publications, Tuttle said that the majority of the company’s models are more minimalistic, designed specifically for the popular half-ton truck market.
“We were very intentional with our design of our ADLAR models to make sure that they not only fit in half-ton trucks, but more importantly they ride well in them without the need for expensive aftermarket suspension assist products,” Tuttle said. Soaring Eagle also has models built specifically for the smaller (quarter ton) truck market, which includes the popular Tacoma, Ranger and Gladiator trucks.
Scott Bradshaw, another partner at Soaring Eagle Campers, added, “While the AERIE model is opening up new doors of opportunity for us in the mainstream truck camper market, we remain focused on attracting new customers to the RVing lifestyle with our ADLAR and OV-X overland style campers. Our goal is to provide the best possible value proposition we can in the entry level camping market and we accomplish that by building our campers with the best materials possible and taking the time to build them right.”
Soaring Eagle Campers now has over 40 dealer locations across the United States and Canada, and the company reported it is looking to increase that number in 2025 as more dealers discover the opportunities that entry-level truck campers provide them. “One thing that has been fun is seeing dealers come on board who previously had not only never sold truck campers, but who avoided them, and having them experience success with our models,” said Tuttle. “We keep it simple and easy for both the consumer and the dealer, and we have proved the market is ripe for campers like these. Having the RVIA label on them now is going to help us even more as we continue to harvest customers from the tent camping world.”
