Canada’s RV industry is relatively small compared to the U.S. market as approximately 90 percent of the models purchased by dealers are imported from south of the border and abroad. Companies like Winnebago, Airstream and Coachman are household names and have set standards for what is referred to as the go-anywhere, anytime recreational vehicle.
However, Canadian manufacturers have created their own benchmark for success with the ability to find that sweet spot between ample amenities and fuel efficiency at the gas pump. Eco-conscious materials, aerodynamic designs, and a number of unique amenities have become an even greater incentive among RVers for supporting Canadian RV manufacturers.
There are more than a dozen home-grown RV manufacturers in Canada that build a variety of models, ranging from compact teardrop trailers to motorhomes of all classes. One manufacturer has even gained notoriety for its ultra-insulated truck campers, providing yet another way for dedicated RVers to hit the road any time of the year.
Listed and described below are five of some of the most popular Canadian RV manufacturers with the details that set their brands apart and why their models are becoming more popular across the country and abroad.
