About Colton RV

In 1962 “Old-Boy” Bill Colton started an Auto Upholstery Business where he focused on the custom interiors of the most rad-ist vans of the 60’s, 70’s and 80’s. A cultural shift in the early 90’s away from the rad interior custom van market led to a new opportunity for Old Boy's two sons, Chris and Jim. 

The growing camping culture in the U.S. created a need for more RV dealerships and the Colton boys jumped in with both Feet. Growth of what we know today as Colton RV came steady in the early years and exploded in the mid 2000’s. Today, Colton RV is the Largest Family Run RV Dealer in New York State and has expanded its operations into Pennsylvania as part of our five-year vision of growth.

Still family run by Jim Colton and son Casey, Colton RV has over 200 employees and are committed to providing the best experience for both our employees and customers. We start by finding employees that are Smart, Hungry, & Humble! We also believe in giving back which is why throughout the year you will see Colton RV sponsoring a variety of charitable organizations such as Make-A-Wish, Toys for Tots, Camp Good Days, & many more. We feel it’s important to contribute to the communities in which we do business.
