About Ketelsen RV

Welcome to Ketelsen RV, Iowa's leading dealership for new RVs, where your journey towards owning the perfect RV begins. Nestled in the heart of Iowa, Ketelsen RV has been a beacon for RV enthusiasts searching for quality, reliability, and excellence. Our extensive collection of RVs for sale includes the latest models and sought-after brands, ensuring that we cater to every traveler's dream. At Ketelsen RV, we're more than just a dealership; we're your partners in adventure. From the moment you step onto our lot, our knowledgeable and friendly staff are here to guide you through our vast selection, helping you find the RV that not only meets your needs but exceeds your expectations. Whether you're looking for a luxurious motorhome to travel the country in style or a compact travel trailer for weekend getaways, we have something for everyone. Ketelsen RV is one of the Midwest's oldest and most trusted RV dealers. Johnny and Marge Ketelsen started the business in 1962 in Marion, Iowa and grew the business by providing exceptional value and service to their customers. And after more than half-a-century, the tradition continues!

Business was "busting at the seams", so in 2005, Gary Ketelsen moved the business across the metro to a new location along Interstate 380 on the north edge of Cedar Rapids in Hiawatha, Iowa. To better serve the customer, the new facility features hard-surface sales and service lots, easy customer parking, and huge inside sales, parts and accessories showrooms. And the service area is greatly expanded to more efficiently service the customer's RVs.

In 2010 the Ketelsen Family was honored to be selected by RV Business Magazine as one of "100 Most Influential People in RV History". Ketelsen RV continues to provide the highest quality RV products, parts, service and accessories for the absolute best value.

The ribbon was officially cut in March of 2017 to open our state-of-the art facility in Central Iowa. Ketelsen RV De Soto serves central and western Iowa with the same top-notch service and attention to detail you've come to trust for over 55 years!

Ketelsen RV expanded to the Cedar Valley in May of 2023 with the purchase of Paine's RV and continues the tradition of helping families get outside and make memories. Located conveniently in Iowa, and easily accessible for RV lovers near and far, Ketelsen RV invites you to discover what makes us the premier new RV dealer in the region. Visit us today and start your adventure with Ketelsen RV, where the open road awaits.
