In a recent press release, Autodesk, Inc. announced that Hagerman &

Ind., is the largest privately held full-line recreational vehicle
manufacturer in the United States, offering 26 brands and more than 100
models. The company is a longtime Autodesk customer, having used AutoCAD
software as its primary design tool for more than a decade. Gulf Stream
is utilizing inventor to design a new Class A toy hauler which will

Hagerman & Company was recognized by Autodesk for designing the full
solution for Gulf Stream Coach and providing training services for all
their engineers.
“Autodesk Inventor provides us with the power of 3D design without
compromising our investments in 2D processes,” said Mike Potis, of the
Product Development Group at Gulf Stream Coach. “Gulf Stream is a leader
in RV manufacturing because our philosophy of lean manufacturing gives
us the ability to provide what the market requires quickly. Using
Inventor will increase our efficiency even further by allowing us to
create digital prototypes of our products while reducing our need to
produce physical prototypes. With Inventor we’ll be able to make better
design decisions faster and increase the overall value to our customers.
We are a company that invests in technologies when they add value for
our customers.”
