ElDorado (formerly ElDorado National–Kansas) is an American manufacturer of cutaway buses, owned by Forest River, with its headquarters and main factory in Salina, Kansas.

The company was founded in 1960 as Honorbuilt Manufacturing, was acquired by Ohio-based Ward Manufacturing in 1965, was renamed El Dorado R.V. in 1978 and started building cutaway buses by 1980. The company combined with National Coach Corporation, a California-based builder of transit buses in 1991 to become El Dorado National–Kansas and El Dorado National–California. The combined El Dorado National became one of the light-duty and mid-size buses for the airport/hotel/rental car shuttle bus markets and local transit operators with smaller fleets.

ElDorado National was sold to Allied Specialty Vehicles (later renamed REV Group) in 2013. In 2020, the Kansas-based cutaway bus manufacturing business was spun off as ElDorado and sold to Forest River. El Dorado National–California was renamed ENC and remains owned by REV Group. Plans to shut down ENC were announced in early 2024.^[1]
