โLloyd, I think you should go on your own.โ Those encouraging words spoken by Lloyd Bontragerโs wife, Bertha, helped the dream of creating a better RV become a reality by launching one of the RV industryโs largest companies โ Jayco.
A few years earlier, Lloyd had been tasked with starting the RV division of Star Tank (which would later become Starcraft RV) as he had designed an innovative lifter system that was patented by Star Tank. Always tinkering, inventing, and dreaming, after successfully launching Star Tankโs RV division in 1964, he had the desire to go on his own.
With support from Bertha, and a shared vision of creating a company that would treat everyone โ employees, suppliers, dealers, and customers โ as family, Jayco, Inc. was born on their farm in two chicken houses and a barn in Middlebury, IN in 1968.
The first year was full of excitement and braving the unknown. From choosing a name, which was inspired by Lloydโs middle initial โJโ and his fondness of the outdoors and birds - with the idea of โbeing as free as a bird and flying away without any cares,โ - to securing the capital needed for a startup. But Bertha says they always believed, โwith faith in God, and our fellow man, we can be successful.โ
