Transforming a Multi-Brand Ecommerce Ecosystem for a Leading RV Brand

THOR Industries

Datmos partnered with THOR Industries to redesign key discovery pages on its digital platform, addressing the challenge of helping consumers better understand RV types and find the right fit for their lifestyle. By reimagining the user experience with clearer navigation, interactive content, and data-driven design, the new experience led to a +50% increase in conversion rates, alongside increased time on site and deeper engagement across pages.

Opportunity

Help Consumers Choose the Right RV Type

The ‘RV Types’ section on the THOR Industries site plays a critical role in the early stages of RV research and selection for consumers. We had an opportunity to reimagine the way these pages look and function, to better educate consumers about the differences between RV Types, allowing them to narrow in on the perfect RV for their lifestyle. This process began with a clear brief from the THOR team and alignment on the specific objectives for these pages.

  • Increase time spent on site
  • Reduce bounce rate
  • Increase number of other pages visited
  • Increase conversion with more clicks to the operating companies

Approach

Iterative Design and Development

Datmos led the end-to-end experience strategy, translating THOR Industries’ objectives into a structured, page-level roadmap designed to improve RV discovery and engagement. We defined a strategic brief that mapped clear user intents and business goals to each page, guiding both UX and content direction.

Our team owned the UX and design process, including information architecture, user flows, wireframing, and multiple iterative design cycles focused on simplifying complex RV categories. We then led front-end development, building dynamic pages, interactive comparison elements, and a library of reusable components, while implementing robust analytics tagging to measure performance at every step.

To validate and optimize the experience, Datmos conducted comprehensive user testing across mobile and desktop, alongside A/B testing to identify friction points and refine key interactions. Insights from these tests directly informed final design and development iterations prior to launch.

This iterative, data-driven approach, grounded in real user behavior, ensured a highly consumer-centric experience, enabling THOR Industries to continuously evolve its platform and better guide users toward the right RV for their lifestyle.

Solution

Illustration and Interactivity with Intent

The new design elevated the relatively flat experience, to interactive and intentional. Datmos created intricate, custom illustrations to represent RV side views and floorplans in a clean and modern way. A fun and playful two-tone feature icon library demonstrates the distinct features with a quick and easy visual cue. We introduced a subtle parallax movement to keep users engaged and in-page navigation to help mobile and desktop users quickly navigate to the RV Type they are interested in. Feature hotspots provide an interactive and engaging interface for learning about each RV Type, serving up information, imagery or video content. Rich image galleries are used to display immersive product and brand photography, bringing the experience to life. Lastly, strategic CTA’s drive users into the conversion path at the right time.

As we continue to focus on the voice of the consumer and removing barriers of entry, we partnered with Datmos to identify a key decision point for consumers that was not being fully optimized in our web experience.  When we looked at our website performance, these pages did well and had some of our highest conversion, but we knew they could be better. Datmos crafted an excellent plan for us to learn, design, implement and test a new approach to these pages, which has paid off in efficiency, bounce rate and time on site.  We are incredibly thankful for our partners at Datmos, who always take a consumer centric view of our business and provide recommendations and guidance to ensure we are delivering the optimal digital experience.
