In 1946, Solomon Kropf launched a brand new business to sell mobile homes. By the 1960s, sales included high-end, custom mobile homes and modulars, which led to the establishment of Kropf’s first retail sale lot in Sarasota, Florida in 1964.
By the mid-1970s, in addition to mobile homes and RV sales, the Florida lot saw the introduction of the park model market. Soon they were manufacturing their own brand out of Goshen, Indiana.

By the mid-1970s, in addition to mobile homes and RV sales, the Florida lot saw the introduction of the park model market. Soon they were manufacturing their own brand out of Goshen, Indiana.
Increased demands in the park model market prompted the suspension of mobile homes and modulars in the early 1980s. Even after a few years offering travel trailers and fifth wheels in our product line, the focus had completely shifted to park models. During this season of growth, Robert served on the boards of Indiana Manufactured Housing Association, Recreational Vehicle Indiana Council, and even helped found Recreational Park Trailer Industry Association.
