General Info

The Thompson family has been in the auto and RV business since the 1950s. Thompson Bros. opened in 1952 selling Hudson and Nash automobliles. The gradual shift from autos to RVs began in the 60's when Sid Thompson became the local dealer for Aloha travel trailers. This was a natural fit for the family, as they spent most of their leisure time camping and picnicking in the mountains of Eastern Oregon. As Sid retired in 1973 Bob Thompson took up the tradition with a used car lot on Southgate Ave. In 1976, along with his new wife Carolyn, Bob added six Nomad trailers to the car business. Eventually the trailer business took center stage with the addition of the locally built Prowler line of trailers and fifth wheels. The latest change in the business occurred with the move to the present location and the addition of a 16, 000 square foot showroom and office at 1201 Southgate Ave. As we enter the 21st century, the next generation, Burton and Corrin begin to take over a larger portion of the day to day operatons. Today Thompson RV is one of the largest RV dealers in Eastern Oregon carrying the Arctic Fox, Desert Fox and Nash lines from Northwood, Montana, Hideout, and Sprinter by Keystone, along with Trailblazer by Komfort. We are also very excited to announce we will be carrying the all new Wind River, Timber Ridge, Tamarack Trail, and Creekside by Outdoors RV! Another locally built product.
