A Family Affair
In 1959, Charles W. Thompson owned his own wholesale candy business. He had purchased a travel trailer and saw an interest in people wanting to rent this new recreational vehicle. The RV industry was in its infancy. And so began the change to Thompson & Sons Trailer Sales. Charles and his two sons, Gene and Jim began renting and selling travel trailers at 15th and Washington in Davenport, IA.
Within two years, business had grown and Thompson & Sons moved just west of Davenport on Highway 61. They quit renting in the 1960's when sales increased and devoted all their time to sales and service.
It was from the start and still is a family owned and operated business. Charles, Gene and Jim, along with their wives, Mary, Jeanette, Darlene, and sister Mag spent countless hours running the business for decades. Charles retired in 1975 and Brother Gene in 1987. Jim with his wife Darlene continued to grow Thompson & Sons Trailer Sales, bringing in all five of their children throughout the next 10 years to help with the growth of the company.
In 1993, with an expansion of Highway 61 looming, Thompson & Sons relocated 1/2 mile west from the existing location. In 1995 Jim and Darlene retired. All five children Ann, Jill, Mark, Tim and Brad now run Thompson & Sons Trailer Sales L.C. It has grown to be one of the Midwest's largest dealers of Recreational Vehicles. Even since the move to the new location in 1993, Thompson & Sons L.C. could not keep up with the tremendous growth, expanding four times over the next 14 years to a 32,000 square foot building, with an indoor showroom and 15 service bays. With all five of Jim and Darlene's kids working together and their spouses; Dawn, Brandy, Larry and Paul and also nieces and nephews working at the business, it truly makes it a family affair. Thus in late 2005, Thompson & Sons Trailer Sales L.C. became Thompson & Sons Family RV L.C.
On January 1, 2008, Thompson & Sons Family RV merged with T & T Storage company to become Thompson Family RV L.C. With the ownership now in all 5 siblings of Jim and Darlene, Thompson Family RV L.C. has made a new commitment of a new 22,000 sq foot service addition and more acreage. This brings the total RV Dealership building 55,000 square foot on over 15 acres.
Throughout all of it this growth, Thompson & Sons L.C. still maintains the family commitment of caring for all customers through honesty and integrity. Our motto is to treat the customer like they would like to be treated.
Thompson & Sons L.C. is honored to have received many awards over the past 49 years for sales and customer satisfaction.
