James ‘Jim’ Scoular, of Jimsco Inc.
Jim Scoular, of Iseman Corp., a longtime South Dakota retailer, and Jimsco Homes, a community owner and operator, was instrumental in the reimagining and long-term success of the RV/MH Hall of Fame, serving on the board and donating resources for the Scoular Manufactured Housing Museum, a moniker that Jim is quick to point out as a tribute to his family, particularly his father Ralph, a hall of fame inductee in 1998.
He is a decades-long member of the state association in South Dakota, was a member of the governor’s task force on taxation and titling of manufactured homes, helped establish the current framework of the SDMHA, and contributed to the formation of setup and installation standards for homes in South Dakota. He joined his father in the hall in 2006, and is the recipient of the hall’s Darryl Searer Spirit Award.
