The Story of RPC

Rich's Portable Cabins, Inc. began as a concept. Twelve years ago, Rich Daniels was self-employed as a timber cruiser contractor in the ailing timber industry. As he could see the inevitable "writing on the wall" as far as job security, he decided to venture into a career that was more "sustainable". He purchased 75 acres of timber and a portable sawmill, determined to continue his timber worker status with a brighter destiny on the horizon. While he was honing his carpentry skills rebuilding his home, he chanced upon a conversation at a local building supply that helped to chart his course. A woman had inquired with a salesclerk about the availability of storage sheds at their establishment and found none available. Daniels later approached her and told her that he could build a shed for her and, thus, "Rich's Sheds" was born.

Two of Rich's Sheds" later became a bunkhouse and a bath house for a couple building their own home that had commented that "if their shed was bigger, they could live in it". "Rich's Sheds" also branched out into the manufacture of several playhouses built on "spec". The "Women in Timber" organization bought one to raffle off in a fundraiser and placed it in a parade in LaGrande. The Union County tourism people saw it and later contacted Daniels to build a mobile tourist information booth which took shape as a miniature "cabin on wheels". Daniels expanded on the idea by building a larger version and discovered, with some accompanying research, that he had built what is considered to be a park model RV. Further investigation revealed a state certification process and with all of the "hoops" successfully navigated, Rich's Portable Cabins, Inc. was launched.

Now, five years later, although Daniels now has a good sized shop, RPC has outgrown it and will be expanding into a larger facility to accommodate increased sales. In addition, the long range plan for the business is to develop an RV park on the property where Daniels, his wife Lori, and their daughter Harmony can transition from the manufacturing aspect of their business into a less physically demanding career for Daniels. This will include offering cabins for sale to be placed on lots leased on a yearly basis as well as nightly rentals to accommodate the local ski resort traffic.

The journey will come full circle for Daniels when his relationship with timber can be shared with others. He hopes to entwine ecotourism into the RV development as well as to showcase sound forestry practices, thus further promoting sustainability.

All cabins are built within a new 12,000 sf structure completely protected from the elements. The guys like the new building because it’s a comfortable and safe working environment with ample space to build 3 cabins at a time. We are a small company with about 8 employees who have an interest in building great cabins and take pride in our work. When RPC builds your cabin Rich over sees all aspects of construction and puts in a great deal of time swinging a hammer along side his crew. “I really enjoy the work and put my best energy into every cabin I build” says Rich.

If you’re in the group of people that like dealing with small companies, where the person who answers the phone is actually building your cabin, and who knows every detail about your cabin inside and out, then by all means give Rich a call. Our office hours are 8 am to 4:30 pm Monday thru Friday. The shop number is 541-898-2444. If the answering machine picks up please leave a call back number and I’ll return your call as soon as possible.
