DECATUR, IN – July 31, 2023 – Veurink’s RV Center celebrates its 60th anniversary as a
Holiday Rambler dealer, making it the oldest and longest-standing continuous dealer for the
historic brand in the country.
In 1963, Howard Veurink, founder and owner of Veurink’s RV in Grand Rapids, MI, traveled to
Wakaruse, IN, to meet with the founder of Holiday Rambler®. Impressed with the company and
the product, Veurink took his first Holiday Rambler unit back with him to Grand Rapids – and
sold it the same day. That first sale was the start of a partnership between Holiday Rambler and
Veurink’s RV that has lasted to this day – and reached a significant milestone in the process.
Representatives from Holiday Rambler were on hand to celebrate with the Veurink family –
including Matthew Veurink, Howard’s grandson and current owner of Veurink’s RV. Veurink’s RV
was also presented with a plaque commemorating their six decades of partnership.
“We truly value and appreciate Veurink’s commitment to Holiday Rambler for an incredible 60
years,” said Doug Miller, Product Manager for Holiday Rambler. “Most importantly, our
partnership is as strong as ever. We look forward to working together with the Veurink’s family
for many more years to come.”
“Our thanks to the Holiday Rambler family for their continued partnership – and for joining us to
celebrate this milestone,” added Matthew Veurink with Veurink’s. “For 60 years, the Holiday
Rambler brand has been an important part of our success. And it has embodied so many of our
core values, including integrity, excellence, customer delight, and fun. We’re excited about this
partnership continuing well into the future.”
Founded in 1954, Veurink’s RV Center operates its original location in Grand Rapids and a
second one in Newaygo, MI. Learn more about the dealership and view its entire Holiday
Rambler inventory at its website.
