Octane Partners with Forest River to Launch a Retail Finance Program for the RV Industry
Octane Lending has partnered with Forest River Inc., a leading manufacturer of recreational vehicles (RVs), to launch 'Forest River Finance powered by Octane.' This new retail finance program is built on Octane's Captive-as-a-Service™ platform and will be underwritten by Roadrunner Financial, LLC. The initiative aims to provide customers in the RV industry with flexible financing options while supporting dealers through sales and marketing resources. The program launches on October 1, 2026, offering a seamless technology experience across Forest River's brand portfolio. It is designed to simplify ownership for consumers by providing exclusive promotional financing terms and enhancing dealer profitability. Octane’s in-house loan servicer will manage end-to-end servicing under the new brand. This partnership marks Octane's second Captive-as-a-Service™ collaboration within the RV industry, following its work with other sectors like powersports and automotive. Forest River CEO Doug Gaeddert praised Octane for its track record of over $9 billion in originations and expressed confidence that this alliance will strengthen dealer relationships and support future growth.
