About   

Travco took off as a leader in innovative motor home design.  Travco motor homes incorporated ideas that would outlast a model or year or manufacturer.  Some of these conceptual lessons would continue on, long after the Travco company, into motor homes of the future. 

Who We Are   

myTravco.com is made up of Travco RV owners, or those who just think she looks too cool, who form a family of information and resources.  Together, we share our experiences with our Travco.  These include travel stories, maintenance nightmares, glitches caused by gremlins, and so forth.  The common person would think maintaining a 25+ year old RV is futile, but that's because they just don't get it.  The Travco RV is about that need to deny the establishment, to dare to be different, and revel in the grace and beauty of these sleek lines and graceful curves while holding sheer admiration for these  motor homes of yesteryear... still serving loads of useful miles, smiles, and stories down the road.

History   

In the early 1960's, Ray Frank began the development of fiberglass body motor homes. These huge 27' fiberglass body molds revolutionized the RV industry.  In 1963, Mr. Frank's company was sold to two Detroit businessmen, Peter Fink and Ken Robertson.  It was renamed to Travco in 1965 to avoid conflicts with other coach makers, as Dodge would later, in 1968, introduce two more chassis dedicated to the motor home market.  By 1967, after the original Frank Motor Home Corporation became Travco Division of PRF Industries.   Travco Corporation continued to produce high quality motor homes until 1979, when the federal government loaned Chrysler a huge amount of money.   As part of the company's financial restructuring, the government forced Chrysler out of the motor home chassis business.  This ended production of chassis for the Travco.  With surmounting financial woes, the Travco line was discontinued.  Assets of Travco Corporation were sold at auction.  The "right to produce" was bought by Foretravel.  Foretravel continues to produce motor homes under their name.  Ultimately, consumers who cherished the non-conformist look and quality craftsmanship of the Travco motor home created a unique market demand for the classic RV's of yesteryear.  The mighty Travco is still heralded as one of the finest motor homes ever produced.
