Esposito, Vincenzo; Xavier, RuteIndie Campers, a Portuguese native scaleup, that operates in the recreational vehicle market, has become one of the fastestgrowing companies in the world. This thesis aims to present a strategy to expanding Indie Campers’ presence in the U.S. RV market. The literature on internationalization and consumer behaviour provides valuable insights for Indie Campers’ expansion strategy. By evaluating the key drivers and barriers to success, the U.S. rental and sales RV market, and the competitive landscape, this thesis will present the roadmap to establish the company as one of the leaders in the market.
