(BRISTOL) - Governor Mike Braun announced Wednesday a new recreational vehicle manufacturer has launched operations in Bristol.


Boundless Recreation, a boutique, customer-centric RV manufacturer, has plans to create up to 115 new, high-wage jobs by the end of 2028.


Braun says Indiana is known as the RV Capital Of The Word, and it's thrilling to welcome yet another company to the sector and to the statewide economy. He says his Administration's commitment to making Indiana the best place to start and grow a business is paying off.


Currently Indiana ranks 12tha in the nation for the rate of new entrepreneurs.


Boundless Recreation was founded in 2025 by a team of seasoned RV professionals; strengthening the skilled industry in the South Bend-Elkhart region that produces approximately 80% to 88% of all RV's manufactured in the United States and Canada. The company is investing $2 million to start and scale its operations at a 104,000-square-foot facility at 705 Maple Street in Bristol, outfitting the space with advanced manufacturing equipment to meet its needs.


Boundless Recreation, which launched initial production in October, will offer fifth wheels and soon to be travel trailers with a focus on quality craftsmanship, designing products that are easier to service, easier to maintain and built to provide years of dependable ownership.

The company has already hired 45 employees and will continue to hire for various positions throughout the company. New positions are expected to offer average salaries 125% of the Elkhart County average.

Boundless Recreation joins a growing network of small businesses in Indiana that account for 99.4% of all Indiana businesses and employ 1.2 million Hoosiers.
