About Encore Recreational Vehicles
Encore RV is a northern-Indiana adventure-trailer manufacturer founded in 2021 by Rich Schnippel, an RV and motorsports-trailer industry veteran active since 2000 (including at all-aluminum specialist inTech RV from 2010). After roughly two years of product development, the company launched in Elkhart with a stated vision of bringing high-quality, off-grid campers into the mainstream RV dealer network. Encore trailers are 100% wood-free, built on all-aluminum, all-tube frames and chassis with aluminum cabinetry — an uncommon construction approach aimed at durability and rot-proof longevity. The lineup comprises the RŎG and VENŪ adventure trailers (all-terrain tires, capable suspension, modular roof-rack systems) and the REVUE travel trailer series. After an early facility fire forced a relocation and a period in a leased 60,000-square-foot plant, Encore purchased and moved into its own production facility in Topeka, Indiana. Units are backed by a transferable 2-year bumper-to-hitch plus 5-year structural warranty, among the few transferable warranties in the industry.
