About Our Dealership

Bretz RV & Marine, a family-owned beacon for outdoor enthusiasts, began its journey in Missoula, Montana, in 1967. Founders Frank and Vi Bretz, initially involved in a service station and U-Haul rentals, ventured into the world of outdoor adventures with their foray into selling and renting travel trailers. This marked the beginning of a legacy centered around the great outdoors.

Today, Bretz RV & Marine is delighted to bring this spirit to Washington's Spokane and Liberty Lake areas. Here, amidst the region's natural splendor and vibrant community spirit, we align perfectly with our exploration and family adventure ethos.

Liberty Lake, nestled near the Idaho border, offers an idyllic backdrop for outdoor activities, with its picturesque lake, scenic parks, and numerous hiking trails. The community thrives on adventure and the natural beauty of Washington's landscapes. Spokane, the cultural hub nearby, complements this with its rich history, bustling arts scene, and the famed Spokane River running through the city. These locales resonate with the very essence of Bretz RV & Marine - a call to explore, enjoy, and cherish the great outdoors.

From our origins in Montana to our latest home in Washington, Bretz RV & Marine has grown significantly. Our team embodies our dedication to providing excellent services and fostering a passion for adventure. We specialize in helping both seasoned explorers and first-time adventurers find the perfect gear for their journeys.

Our expansion into the Spokane and Liberty Lake areas is more than just business growth; it continues the Bretz family story. It's about connecting with like-minded individuals who share our love for nature, adventure, and quality family time. We're here to help you make the most of the beautiful surroundings, whether it's a weekend getaway to Coeur d'Alene, a family camping trip in the Selkirk Mountains, or exploring the numerous trails and lakes this region is famed for.
