AROUND THE WORLD IN 80' VANS

In the first of a new series, Gentleman Jack takes a look at wonderful (and sometimes weird) motorhomes from around the globe. This issue: Canada

HERITAGE Triple E of Manitoba is the oldest volume producer of Canadian 'vams still trading. The company was started by PW Enns in 1965. Pictured below is a 1980 6.71m (22ft) Triple E Empress A-class, the first A-class designed and built in Canada. The photo was taken in one of Canada's many truly spectacular National Parks. A motorcaravanner's dream!

ELEVATING-ROOF MOTORCARAVANS are gaining ground over traditional B-class high-top van conversions. This is a Pleasure-Way Tofino; it’s really compact at just 5.41m (17’ 9”) long, thus eminently suitable for use as an ‘only vehicle’. Pleasure-Way was started by RV dealer Merv Rumpel, who wanted a better-quality conversion to sell. The firm is based in Saskatchewan and prices its conversions in US dollars… in this case, $94,250 (£75,500).
