We have some exciting news to share, and we could not be more proud to announce it. Bankston Motor Homes of Huntsville, Alabama has been officially named the #1 Class A Motorhome Dealer in the State of Alabama for Year End 2025 — as verified by Statistical Surveys, the independent market research firm that tracks real RV registration data across the country.
This is not a self-reported honor or an online popularity contest. Statistical Surveys collects actual RV registration records from state DMV data. When every Class A motorhome sold and registered in Alabama for 2025 was tallied up, Bankston Motor Homes came out on top. More Alabama families chose us for their Class A motorhome purchase than any other dealer in the state.
In a congratulatory letter to our dealership, Shannon Pinto, VP of Statistical Surveys, wrote:
“Allow me to be the first to congratulate you on an incredible 2025. Despite the ups and downs our industries faced over the year, your dealership distinguished itself as SSI’s Number One Dealer in Alabama.”
— Shannon Pinto, VP, Statistical Surveys
We are incredibly grateful to every customer who trusted us with their Class A purchase in 2025. This award belongs to you just as much as it belongs to our team.
What Does Being the #1 Class A Dealer in Alabama Actually Mean?
Class A motorhomes are the largest, most luxurious, and most capable recreational vehicles on the road. Built on dedicated motorhome or commercial bus chassis, they offer full residential amenities — king beds, full kitchens, residential refrigerators, washer/dryer setups, multiple slide-outs, and everything else you would expect from a home on wheels.
They also represent one of the biggest purchasing decisions most families will ever make. Choosing the right Class A coach, from the right dealer, with the right service support behind it, matters enormously. When Alabama families made that decision in 2025, they chose Bankston Motor Homes more than anyone else.
Being ranked #1 by Statistical Surveys means:
- More Class A units sold and registered in Alabama than any competing dealership in the state
- More Alabama families chose Bankston for their Class A purchase than any other dealer
- Verified by actual DMV registration data — not self-reported numbers or voting
- Recognition from an independent third party that dealerships across the country respect
Why So Many Alabama RVers Choose a Class A Motorhome
If you have ever dreamed of pulling up to a campsite in a coach that feels like a luxury apartment on wheels, a Class A motorhome is what you are looking for. Here is why so many of our customers make the move to Class A:
Space and Comfort
Class A motorhomes typically range from 25 to 45 feet in length, giving you far more living space than a Class C or travel trailer. Multiple slide-outs can expand the interior dramatically when parked, creating a living room, full kitchen, and bedroom that feel genuinely residential.
Gas vs. Diesel — Two Great Options
Class A coaches come in two main configurations. Gas-powered Class A motorhomes offer a more accessible price point and are ideal for families who take frequent regional trips. Diesel pusher Class A motorhomes deliver more torque, smoother long-haul performance, stronger towing capacity, and quieter operation — making them the top choice for serious travelers and full-timers.
Full-Time Living Capability
Many of our customers buy Class A coaches specifically to live in them full-time, whether they are retired snowbirds heading south for the winter or working nomads who want the flexibility to travel and work from anywhere. Class A motorhomes are built for exactly that kind of lifestyle.
Top-Tier Technology and Features
Today’s Class A coaches feature automatic leveling systems, solar-ready setups, residential-quality appliances, touchscreen control panels, bedroom fireplace options, and entertainment systems that rival any living room. Brands like Tiffin, Newmar, and Winnebago continue to push the boundaries of what is possible inside a motorhome.

Part of what makes Bankston Motor Homes Alabama’s #1 Class A dealer is the quality of manufacturers we partner with. We carry some of the most respected names in the industry, and our team knows these coaches inside and out.
Tiffin Motorhomes
Tiffin is one of the most beloved names in Class A motorhomes — and Bankston has been a Tiffin dealer since the very beginning. We were among the first dealerships to carry Tiffin coaches when founder Bob Tiffin started building them in Red Bay, Alabama. Today we carry the full Tiffin Allegro lineup, including the Allegro Bus, Allegro Bay, Allegro Breeze, and Allegro RED. Bankston has earned the Tiffin Top Dealer award in both 2023 and 2024.
Newmar
Bankston Motor Homes is a recognized Top 10 Newmar Dealer nationwide. Newmar is known for handcrafted diesel pushers with exceptional build quality and residential interiors. Shoppers looking at the Dutch Star, Ventana, or Bay Star will find an experienced Newmar team at Bankston ready to walk them through every option.
Winnebago
Bankston has earned multiple Winnebago Flying W Awards and the Circle of Excellence recognition for outstanding customer satisfaction and service. We carry Winnebago Class A coaches from the accessible Adventurer all the way through the premium Forza and Grand Tour diesel pushers.
Thor Motor Coach
Thor Motor Coach offers one of the broadest Class A lineups in the industry. The Aria, Palazzo, and Challenger give buyers a wide range of floor plans and price points. Thor is a great choice for buyers stepping into Class A motorhome ownership for the first time or looking for a well-equipped gas coach at a competitive price.
Coachmen RV
Coachmen’s Class A coaches like the Sportscoach and Mirada offer approachable luxury for buyers ready to make the move from a smaller motorhome or travel trailer. Excellent floor plans, solid construction, and great value make Coachmen a popular choice in our showroom.
Forest River
Forest River’s Class A lineup — including the Bay Star, Bay Star Sport, and Canyon Star — delivers full-size comfort at accessible price points. These gas-powered coaches are ideal for families who want everything a Class A offers without reaching into the premium price tier.

About Bankston Motor Homes — Selling Dreams Since 1970
Bankston Motor Homes is a family-owned RV dealership that has been serving Alabama and Tennessee families for over 55 years. Founded in 1970 by Harrison Bankston — an engineer at Teledyne Brown in Huntsville who turned a weekend RV rental into a lifelong passion — Bankston grew into one of the most trusted RV dealers in the Southeast.
Harrison built an early relationship with Bob Tiffin when Tiffin Motorhomes was just getting started, famously saying: “If you can build them, we can sell them.” That partnership has lasted more than five decades.
Today, the dealership is led by Harrison’s grandsons — Chase Baerlin, President, and Colin Baerlin, Vice President — who have been recognized by the RV Industry Association as rising leaders in the industry. Chase was named to the RVIA’s 40 Under 40 list.
With locations in Huntsville, Gadsden/Attalla, and Ardmore, Tennessee, Bankston serves RV buyers across North Alabama and the greater Tennessee Valley. Our Huntsville headquarters features:
- 8 service bays with factory-trained, RVDA and RVTI-certified technicians
- Luxury indoor delivery bays for a thorough, comfortable new-coach walkthrough
- 5,500 sq. ft. RV parts store — the largest in North Alabama
- 600+ verified 5-star Google Reviews from customers across the region
