Roadtrek

All the convenience of driving a van or SUV.
                                                                      

Jac Hanemaayer, of Dutch origin, has been living in Kitchener, Ontario since 1953. He has become involved in many businesses including home construction, residential and commercial land development, packaging equip-ment importation and distribution, and advanced technology to separate liquids and solids.

In 1974, Jac became interested in an RV for personal use. He like the spacious room and comfort offered by class A and C motorhomes, but didn't want to become a "weekend bus driver". To enjoy the convenience and mo-bility of a small vehicle, he checked out the class B motorhome (camper van) market. Being unable to find all the comforts of a larger motorhome within the convenient and efficient size of a van, he designed one for himself and had it built by fledgling Home & Park Vehicles. When it was finished, he liked it so much, he bought the company!

After years of personal RVing experience, he completely re-designed the product in 1980 with his now famous low profile roof, lowered floor and innovative three section floor plan; Roadtrek, Fuel Efficient Motorhomes You'll Love to Drive, was born! To protect the design, Canadian and U.S. patents were secured on many of the innovative features incorporated in the Roadtrek.

With Roadtrek's continuing #1 selling position, we outgrew our 50,000 square foot plant. In 1993 we moved into a modern 120,000 square foot manufacturing facility to increase production capacity, lower manufacturing costs, improve product quality and enhance customer service. Employment has grown from a handful as recently as 1980 to 200 full-time employees. Roadtrek has over 100 dealers from coast to coast.

In 2001, Roadtrek Motorhomes was the first RV manufacturer in North America to obtain registration to the rigor-ous international standard ISO9001:2000(E). ISO, the International Organization for Standardization, is a world-wide federation of national standards bodies. The ISO 9001:2000(E) standard is a complete Quality Management System Standard with an emphasis on effective processes and continuous improvement.

From 2002 to 2006, Roadtrek employees achieved 1,500,000 hours worked without a "lost time" injury. That's about 750 "person years" of work without an injury serious enough to prevent the person from working at least part of the next day. What better evidence is there of the company's and employees' commitment to safety as their top priority?

In 2006, Roadtrek built its 20,000th class B motorhome, an achievement unequalled in the RV industry. The first 10,000 took 24 years to build, the second 10,000 only eight years. The next 10,000 will take even less.

The #1 selling North American camper van. Exceptional people. A high quality and innovative product. State-of-the-art facilities. And a superior dealer network. With this winning combination, Roadtrek will continue to domi-nate the North American class B motorhome market with unrivalled product value.
