Tiger Adventure Vehicles

What Tiger Adventure Vehicles does

Tiger Adventure Vehicles (legal entity Provan RV Industries, LLC) is a U.S. manufacturer of custom four-wheel-drive overlanding recreational vehicles built on Ford F-350, F-450, and F-550 truck chassis. Founded in 1986 as Provan Industries in Colorado and now headquartered in Dawsonville, Georgia, the company operates a single production facility and sells exclusively factory-direct to consumers across the United States, with no dealer or franchise network. Its current product lineup centers on the Panthera platform in three configurations—the Panthera 200 (F-350 SRW entry-level), Panthera 240 (F-350/450/550 mid-size), and Panthera 280 (F-450/550 flagship)—distinguished by aluminum and fiberglass unibody construction without wood, off-grid electrical systems pairing lithium batteries with solar and Victron inverters, Rixen hydronic heating tied directly into the truck's fuel supply, and an integrated pass-through between the cab and living quarters. Build lead times run 6-9 months per unit.

The company generates revenue through custom new vehicle sales, a factory service and parts department that supports all legacy and current models, an online preowned marketplace and consignment program, and accessories and upgrades. New vehicle pricing is not publicly disclosed but preowned comparables suggest an ASP in the $175K-$250K+ range; customer financing is facilitated through a partnership with Newcoast Financial, with chassis financing available via Ford Motor Credit. Approximately 1,500 Tigers have been built and remain in operation across the U.S., and the company cultivates owner engagement through an annual Tiger Rally at Camp Hale, Colorado and participation in four Overland Expo events annually. The business is privately held by President Scott Humbaugh and co-owner Courtney Humbaugh, has no disclosed external equity or debt financing, and reports no revenue or headcount figures.

Direct peers

• Sportsmobile: Sportsmobile converts Ford and Chevy vans into 4x4 camper vans with custom interiors and off-grid systems. Long-running competitor in the off-road camper conversion space with comparable custom-build direct-sales model.
• Outside Van: Outside Van builds custom 4x4 Sprinter-based expedition vans with lithium/solar off-grid systems. Shares the premium custom overlanding positioning with Tiger, focused on adventure travel rather than mass-market RV use.
• Storyteller Overland: Storyteller Overland builds Mercedes Sprinter 4x4-based Class B adventure vans with off-grid electrical systems. Comparable overlanding use case and lifestyle positioning, though van-based rather than truck-based; competes for overlapping expedition-traveler demand.
• Global Expedition Vehicles (GXV): GXV manufactures custom expedition motorhomes on heavy-duty truck chassis (Mercedes/Airstream/Volvo platforms). Targets the same high-end overland customer as Tiger with comparable off-grid systems, custom builds, and price points exceeding $300K.
• Earthroamer: Earthroamer builds ultra-premium Ford F-series-based expedition vehicles with integrated off-grid living systems. Most direct competitor to Tiger's Panthera platform, serving the same overlanding/expedition customer with comparable six-figure pricing.
• Four Wheel Campers: Four Wheel Campers manufactures lightweight slide-in truck campers for off-road use. Comparable off-road 4-season use case though a different form factor (slide-in vs. integrated truck-camper); competes for the same overlanding customer.

Emerging players

• Boreas Campers: Boreas builds lightweight off-road-ready truck campers (XT and XT-Series) targeting overlanding enthusiasts. Emerging niche player with off-grid systems overlap; partial overlap with Tiger's off-road use case via a different slide-in/towable format.

Broad incumbents

• Thor Industries (Overland/Luxe subsidiaries): Thor Industries is the largest North American RV manufacturer, parent to multiple premium brands that touch the overlanding and off-grid segments. Broad incumbent with resources Tiger lacks; competes indirectly through scale and dealer reach.
• Airstream (Thor subsidiary): Airstream's Interstate and Atlas touring coaches sit in adjacent premium RV segments with similar high-quality construction and lifestyle branding. Competes for aspirational buyers considering premium RV alternatives to overlanding-focused Tiger builds.
• Winnebago Revel: Winnebago's Revel and other 4x4 adventure-class products represent a large incumbent's push into the off-grid overlanding segment. Lighter and broader product portfolio, but the Revel specifically targets the same expedition-traveler demographic as Tiger.
