Our Story

Your Trusted RV Parts Supplier Since 1970

For over 50 years, JR Products has been a leading supplier of RV replacement parts, hardware, and accessories — family-owned and built on a foundation of quality and service.

Heritage

Founders and Leadership

From a basement startup to a modern RV parts supplier, JR Products has grown by putting service, relationships, and long-term trust at the center of every era.

John D. Roba founded JR Products in 1970 with $2,000 borrowed from family and a simple conviction that employees and customers should be treated like family. What began with six products in the Roba family basement became a trusted name in RV replacement parts, hardware, and accessories.

Today, Brian Roba carries that same customer-first philosophy forward while investing in employee culture, dealer support, product education, and a more modern approach to serving the RV market.

Built on the Golden Rule

A founder's service-first mindset still shapes how JR Products grows, supports partners, and leads into the future.

John Roba

John built JR Products around loyalty, extra-mile service, and the belief that employees and customers should be treated like family. That Golden Rule approach helped the company navigate the energy crisis of the 1970s, 9/11, and the Great Recession while earning long-term trust across the RV industry.
