We started building motorhomes in 1986 because no one else was focusing on quality that would stand the test of time. Along the way we’ve continually innovated our product offering while becoming one of the most trusted names in the RV industry.

1986 - 1st Production Facility
Merv Rumpel started his RV dealership, Glenwood Trailer Sales, in 1968. After 18 years in the RV business, he decided there was room for a high-quality Class B motorhome in the market. In 1986, Merv and his team built the first 10 Pleasure-Ways out of the backshop of the dealership.
1988 - First Shipment
Pleasure-Way’s dealership network started in Saskatchewan and grew to include Alberta and Manitoba in 1987. In 1988, we began shipping all finished motorhomes via flatbed trucks. This is a practise we uphold today, as it ensures the new owner will be the one to break in their motorhome.
1989 - 10 Original Employees
The first 10 employees hired to work at Pleasure-Way. Paul H. (top left), Dave F. (second from top left) and Phil N. (bottom right) are still with the company to this day. They perfectly represent the cornerstone to Pleasure-Way’s success, which is our dedicated and talented team.
1994 - Pleasure-Way #1,000
Pleasure-Way saw steady growth since building the first 10 motorhomes in 1986. In 1987, 77 units were built and a few years later in 1991, 120 were completed. Pleasure-Way #1,000 rolled off the production line later in 1994, seen here with Pleasure-Way President, Merv Rumpel.
