As a direct result of these upgrades, Wave and Summit have experienced a 30% increases in retail sales during the first five months of 2007. “Our dealers are excited about these products,” said John Draheim, President of Thor California. “We are significantly outpacing the industry with these products. Our new Wave and Summit brands offer the perfect blend of features, allure and value that people appreciate. And customers are known to seek out value in the marketplace.”

Based on this success, Thor California is expanding its Wave and Summit brand line-ups with the addition of fifth wheel floorplans. Each of the new floorplans has been designed with direct input from customers and dealers to meet market demands. Initial dealer response has been very positive.

The three floorplans, varying in lengths from 25’ to 31’, include the 245RKS, 285BHS and 295RLS floorplans. The 245RKS showcases a rear wraparound galley and sofa slide-out with smart storage spaces. The 295RLS features a super-slide and huge curved galley with room for barstools. The 285BHS is a bunk-house floorplan with smart storage solutions for the bedroom and bunk areas.
