In the vast central plains of Canada, just north of North Dakota, is the small, ethnically Mennonite community of Winkler, Manitoba. It’s here that a small travel trailer company started in 1966 with 8 workers. Founder P.W. Enns, who traveled with his wife and a trailer around Canada and the U.S., had been inspired after a visit to an American RV maker in Elkhart, Indiana. Enns created the new company with his two sons-in-law, Peter Elias and Philipp Ens – hence the name, Triple E.

The company’s first production year yielded 50 travel trailers in 1966. The following year, Triple E was able to supply more than 300 trailers to the Expo in Montreal, needed because of a hotel-room shortage. A motorhome division was added in 1970, and currently the company is the only Canadian maker of Class A motorhomes.

Still a private, family-owned company, Triple E sells most of its products in Canada, but is expanding rapidly into the U.S. With more than 600 employees, Triple E is unique in that it does most of its own steel fabrication, fiberglass work, cloth work and cabinetry at its own facility.

Owners Club: None
