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).
TRUCK CAMPERS (known as demountables in the UK) have a big following in Canada, with sales accounting for 25% of all leisure vehicles. Northern Lite produces a wide range of bodies to fit pick-up trucks. They are all very well-buikand feature a strong, leak-resistant, moulded GRP body, with quality furnishings inside. The guide price in Canadian dollars is from C$58,000 (£35,000).
