Triple E Recreational Vehicles

About Triple E Recreational Vehicles

Triple E Recreational Vehicles is a Winkler, Manitoba-based RV manufacturer founded in 1965 by P.W. Enns together with his sons-in-law Philipp Ens and Peter Elias, initially building travel trailers and later Class A motorhomes. In 2008 Triple E acquired Leisure Travel Vans, a Class B motorhome builder in nearby Morden, MB founded in 1978 by Reg and Saide Harder, and in 2010 the two operations were consolidated; Triple E discontinued its Class A, travel-trailer, and fifth-wheel lines to focus solely on motorized Class B and C RVs. Today the "Triple E RV" name is retired as an active product brand — new vehicles are built and sold under the Leisure Travel Vans brand on Mercedes-Benz and Ford Transit chassis — while Triple E Recreational Vehicles remains the parent manufacturing company headquartered in Winkler. Triple E also owns Lode King Industries, a commercial highway-trailer manufacturer established in 1980.

How they build

The company describes itself as inspired by "the freedom to explore" and driven by a commitment to growing its community of employees, dealers, suppliers, and customers, carrying a long-standing emphasis on quality craftsmanship and innovation from its travel-trailer origins into today's Leisure Travel Vans product line.
