Relocation:

Montana has become the spot to be. Kevin Costner and his Yellowstone and 1883 have single-handedly helped Montana become discovered. If you want to move here, please know that we have stoplights, hitching posts still exist in some small towns, and the church is still the busiest place to go on Sundays. It's a safe place to live and a great place to raise a family looking for adventure. The cost of living is far lower than in other parts of the country. If you've ever dreamed of moving to the northwest, now may be the time to turn a dream into reality!

About Our Dealership:

Bretz RV & Marine opened for business in Missoula, Montana, in 1967. Until then, Frank and Vi Bretz had been operating a service station and renting U-Hauls in central Missoula. Searching for a new camping trailer turned into a new business opportunity. Not only did the Bretz family get a new camper, they decided to get into the business of selling and renting small travel trailers.

Today Bretz RV & Marine is still a family-owned and operated business with five dealerships across Montana and Idaho. We are fortunate to have grown from just over 100 employees to nearly 400 employees in the last five years. We do all we can to offer our teams an excellent place to work and advance in our company. We start by finding great people with high energy and then find the best place for them to be successful in our dealerships.

Throughout the year, you will see Bretz RV & Marine sponsoring events from local school functions to veterans associations, Toys-4-Tots, Make-A-Wish, and many more. It's important to contribute to the communities in which we do business.
