Canada

What camper’s are built in Canada?have tried google it get nothing, shows a lot built in usa
  • I'm not sure if Bigfoot is still in business, they had one of those belly-up auctions a few years back. Maybe they started again. Escape is pretty small outfit.

    I was rebuilding a 18 year old camper for hunting, an Adventurer, locally made. When I was picking up parts, I remarked to the tech how very well it was made. I had been in the industry and I appreciated all the little things they did. The same people who owned the dealership ,also owned Adventurer. But they moved the production three hours south to Yakima, Washington. I asked him if the new ones were as well made, his answer was interesting. "Naw, but they don't pay them that well, either."

    Triple E is now known as Leisure Travel Vans. These are B+ units built in Southern Manitoba. www.leisurevans.com

    Pleasure Way is another Canadian mfg. from Saskatchewan. They build vans and B+ units.

    Roadtrek vans are built in Ontario but are now owned by a German company

    Not many at all anymore, though Taylor Coach, a small family business near me here in S Ontario is one that is still in operation. IIRC Bigfoot and Escape trailers are manufactured in BC and Quebec has a number of specialty manufacturers such as Alto, ProLite, and Helio but there really aren't any mass production trailer manufacturers in Canada any longer since the demise of Glendale.
