Fifty years ago, a man from the Netherlands opened a chapter in the RV industry’s book of adventures. In Kitchener, Ontario, Jac Hanemaayer designed a Type B motorhome for Home & Park Vehicles Limited in 1974. After the experience, Hanemaayer bought the company and launched the Roadtrek Type B motorhome in 1980.
Half a century later, Roadtrek’s story lives on. The manufacturer celebrates its 50th anniversary this month with the Chase 50 model.
Roadtrek Head of Sales Len McDougall said, “The Chase 50 is a reflection of Roadtrek’s unwavering commitment to innovation and quality. As we celebrate 50 years of adventure, this limited-edition model pays homage to our rich history while looking forward to the exciting future of exploration on the open road.”
The motorhome is built on the Ram ProMaster 159-inch platform. The motorhome design provides a spacious interior and storage options. Italian leather covers the bed cushions and cab area seating. The bed cushions can convert from a twin bed to a king-sized sleeping space.
The Chase 50 will debut at the Florida SuperShow Jan. 17-21 at the Florida State Fairgrounds in Tampa.
Sunshine State RVs will be the Chase 50 representative for the show.
Sunshine State RV owner Nick Schmidt said, “This anniversary edition is a true embodiment of Roadtrek’s dedication to providing RV enthusiasts with exceptional experiences, and we cannot wait to showcase it to the public.”
