About Advanced RV
What is Advanced RV?
Advanced RV (ARV) is a custom motorhome manufacturer in Willoughby, Ohio that designs and hand-builds Class B recreational vehicles on Mercedes-Benz Sprinter chassis. The home page sums up the offer: "Since the inception of Advanced RV, the dreams of hundreds of clients have been brought to life – from desert-crawling off-grid machines, to rolling cabins of tasteful cedar and state-of-the-art command centers." Each build is bespoke — "Every Advanced RV build begins with a conversation" — with the company's pitch built around three pillars: "Client Centered | Craftsman Quality | Completely Unique." Founder, President and CEO Mike Neundorfer leads the business, which is also publicly known for its launch of a luxury Class B charter program covered in RV industry trade press.
Where will I work?
ARV operates from a single facility in Willoughby, Ohio, about 20 minutes east of Cleveland — the careers page notes: "We are located in Willoughby, Ohio – 20 minutes east of Cleveland." Because every motorhome is custom-fabricated on site (welding, cabinetry, electrical, finish), the team works in person at the Willoughby plant rather than remotely. Visitors are explicitly welcomed: "We invite you to visit the facility and explore joining the ARV team."
What is the Advanced RV team like?
The careers page emphasises a craftsman culture organised around four "major qualifications" — honesty, personal responsibility, attention to detail, and "a commitment to adding value every day." Day-to-day work is described as collaborative: "We foster this creativity through team collaboration and chemistry. We structure our work to enable work-life balance and personal wellness." Clients interact directly with the build team during the design phase, which the company frames as both a quality control loop and a source of pride.
Work-Life Balance
The Cleveland news outlet News 5 Cleveland reported on Advanced RV's four-day workweek under the headline "Local company's 4-day work week still going strong," confirming the policy verbatim: "Employees at Advanced RV work four days and get paid for five days. Everyone gets a three-day weekend." The schedule was originally tested in 2022 as part of a global trial program, and Mike Neundorfer told the outlet that he has bridged slower demand periods through a strong backlog rather than reverting to a five-day week, adding that he "currently has no plans to go back to a 5-day work week."
This full-pay four-day-week structure is unusual in skilled-trade manufacturing — and is publicly cited by the company's leadership as a competitive recruiting advantage in the Northeast Ohio talent market.
Perks and Benefits
The live careers page focuses on culture, qualifications and the four-day week rather than a detailed perks list. Beyond the four-day-week-at-full-pay structure and an in-person craftsman shop in Willoughby, prospective applicants are pointed to direct contact with the team for specifics: "If you would like to work with a highly skilled team of people who listen to and care for each other, interact directly with clients, and have a good time building custom motorhomes, please contact us."
