Company description
First of all, let us tell you all about Lerch RV. Lerch RV had a very simple beginning. Ed Lerch started in business in 1977, when he opened Seven Mountain Truck Caps and Lerch’s Arco gas station. Then in 1978 Ed changed the name of his business to the now well known Lerch RV. With changing the business name, Lerch RV began to offer Prowler travel trailers & fifth wheels. Shortly afterwards Lerch RV began making Prowler’s top ten list of east coast dealerships.
Furthermore in 1980, the dealership moved to a bigger location. Just west of Lewistown, near the entrance to the Mifflin County Industrial Park. Especially relevant with this move, dealership became a full service RV dealership. Hence selling travel trailers, fifth wheels, and motor-homes. Consequently discontinuing the sales of truck caps and gasoline. During the 1980’s and continuing through the 1990’s the dealership was at this location. While at this location, Lerch RV became a dealer of Winnebago, Southwind, Coleman, Tioga, Yellowstone, and Alpenlite RVs. Most noteworthy, in the early part of the 90’s Lerch RV even developed and built a small handful of customized travel trailers.
