Roadtrek, known for its compact motorhomes, has been acquired by Conestogo Partners, a private equity firm focused on outdoor recreation. The acquisition is expected to enhance Roadtrek's presence in North America while allowing the company to maintain its current operations in Cambridge, Ontario, under the existing leadership team.
The company announced that its popular models—the Wave Skylight, Wave SL, and Wave—will continue to be produced for the 2027 model year. Roadtrek emphasized that this acquisition will provide additional financial strength and strategic support, helping them invest further in their products, operations, and dealer network.
Additionally, Roadtrek plans to phase out its North American licensing arrangement for the Westfalia brand, ensuring support for Westfalia RVs during their two-year warranty period. The company assures customers, dealers, and partners that it remains committed to quality and service despite these transitions.
Founded in 1980 by Jac Hanemaayer, who designed the first Roadtrek RV, the brand has cultivated a strong community and dealer partnerships over the decades. As it enters this new chapter, Roadtrek aims to continue fostering these relationships which are critical to its future success.
The acquisition underscores the importance of strategic investments in the recreational vehicle sector, reflecting ongoing demand for camper vans and motorhomes among outdoor enthusiasts.
