Family TreeThe KZ family tree may have come from the small seeds of humble beginnings, but core values and hard work grew them into the thriving company they are today. KZ enjoys the loyalty of employees, dealers, and retail customers alike, who have all joined the KZ family tree.

No matter how big a family gets, it should neverforget its beginning. The KZ family tree traces itsroots back to a small gas station in 1972. Desiring to start his own company, Daryl Zookdecided to begin building truck campers. Eventually he began manufacturing traveltrailers, which became knownas Sportsmen.

Our History

It is this same quality control and work ethic that

has made KZ a favorite among their wide dealership

base. Successful KZ lines include high-end models like

Durango and Stone Ridge, to value-packed

Sportsmen Classics.

By 2013, KZ had been awarded the Dealer Satisfaction

Index award 13 times. This prestigious honor signifies

that KZ is an industry leader in sales support, quality

control, pricing, and design. KZ continues to be

widely respected by their dealers today, many

of whom have been with KZ since

the beginning.

DealersSoon, the KZ family began growing even larger, asmore employees were hired to match the demandsof the growing customer and dealer base. Only thebest workers—many of whom have Amish roots—have been hired. KZ’s home in Shipshewana, Indiana, makes it possible for the KZ family to

have this unique, high-quality workforce. Our workforce has an average of 13 years of experience

building quality products. This low turnover rate is a reflection of our

family values.

In time, dealers and customers became attractedto KZ and more dealerships signed up to sell theproduct. As more customers began to enjoy theSportsmen product, the more KZ valued their interaction and feedback—so much so that

customer suggestions became a staple ingredientof the KZ product line. This tradition continues into the current day with many camper inspiredideas built in.

Customers Additionally, KZ is a family of generous givers, and

very involved in the community. Daryl Zook has

made a point of using KZ’s influence to impact
