Jayco
Jayco RV is one of the oldest companies out there, based in Middlebury Indiana, they’ve been in business for almost as long as Leisure Trailer Sales. Founded in 1968 by RVing hall of Famer Lloyd ‘Jay’ Bontrager, Jayco revolutionized the industry with their innovative pop-up tent trailers. One truly special thing about this brand is that corporate management is still led by the Bontrager family. Jayco were also the pioneers of the first 5th wheel trailer with a full height stand up bedroom, a design that is one of the most popular available today. With around 50,000 units per year being constructed, and a total over 1 million RV builds under their belts, it’s safe to say Jayco have the hang of it by now! Jayco’s 2019 line up includes:

It benefits from heavy duty, corrosion resistant, high strength frame, and cooking are a really convenient option thanks to the stainless steel indoor-outdoor stove, it features wind deflectors and it’s perfect for cooking up a hearty meal after a hard day’s play.

KZ RV
KZ RV is another company with a rich history, just like Jayco, KZ RV hail from Middlebury Indiana, in the heart of America’s Mid West. Founded by Daryl Zook in 1972 out of a gas station, KZ RV has grown exponentially since then, so much so that they caught the attention of one of the world’s biggest RV manufacturer umbrella companies, Thor Industries. KZ RV produces a wide range of RV styles and sizes, ranging from ultra-light towables to full-size travel trailers. They build in both aluminum and fibre glass and produce some of the best quality RVs for sale today. Travel Trailers
KZ offers a range of great travel trailers, including the Sportsmen Classic, an ultra-lightweight model with value in mind. This is an affordable model and comes up to 19’ in length. No truck required either! If you’ve got an SUV, you’ll have no issues hauling this. There are many floor plans to choose from, and living up to its name, there’s even an off-road package.

Coachmen
Coachmen RV is a stalwart of the RV industry; in business since 1964, they’ve built a wealth of experience in the field, and also originate from what is seemingly the epicenter of RV production – Middlebury Indiana. The company was started by the Corson brothers, and from humble beginnings, they have built to date over half a million trailers (now over 600,000). The company are actually publicly traded and are listed on the New York Stock Exchange, as well as having the prestigious honor of being considered a Fortune 500 Company. You don’t get accolades like these for nothing, and this should be an initial indication of how excellent Coachmen’s product really is.

Coachmen RV’s Northern Spirit line of RVs and travel trailers are widely known as some of the most pet-friendly units on the market today – you’ll note features like an outdoor dog leash clip lend credence to this reputation.

If you’re inclined to dine outdoors, why not take it a step further and cook out there, too? The Coachmen RV Northern Spirit features a well equipped outdoor kitchen that should have everything you need to cook up a storm.
Winnebago
We think it’s fair to say that Winnebago is the name when it comes to rvs for sale in Ontario. The company was founded in Winnebago County, Iowa by a group of Californian investors looking to inject money into the local economy. Winnebago’s first RV was built way back in 1966, to much adoration as this was a quality product being sold at almost 50% less than comparable RVs from their competition. While the brand is generally synonymous with motor homes, they also have a wonderful selection of travel trailers in a range of sizes, and they are really worth checking out! These trailers stand out from the crowd with their bold color ways, and are really a sight to behold! 
The Winnebago range of travel trailers starts with their smallest, the Winnie Drop; a classic teardrop ultra lightweight unit. It’s an aerodynamic camper that can be easily towed. Unusually for this category, some floor plans even feature a slide out! Ceiling height is up to 6’ 5” which makes this a very comfortable choice if you’re looking for a small travel trailer. The next size up is the Micro Minnie; it features a spacious interior, generously equipped kitchen, and a front bedroom with a queen bed. Another step up in size is the Winnebago Minnie – this is a full-width travel trailer that is jam-packed with features. There’s, of course, the signature Winnebago exterior color options, and available slide-out rooms. Construction is extremely sturdy, and it features aluminum frame laminated side walls. Adding to the features of the Winnebago Minnie, the Winnebago Minnie Plus – this travel trailer really looks the part, it has an attractive, and aerodynamic front cap, and there are several models featuring multiple slide outs for additional space. The interior is also upgraded over the Minnie. It features a curved interior ceiling and a hard wearing gel coat covered fiber glass exterior. Finally, the Winnebago Spyder – this is a serious toy hauler for those who like to live life to the extreme. The 100-gallon freshwater tank allows you to get out into the backcountry for extended periods, alternatively gives you enough water to keep your gear washed down. It comes in white or black fiber glass, and features the ‘spyder’ decal on the front cap. For those looking for a more ‘home away from home’ feel, the Winnebago Spyder can be ordered with the stainless steel appliance package. Inside, there’s a barreled ceiling, providing huge headroom, and enough clearance for a ceiling fan. The floor is linoleum throughout, making it easy to keep things clean, even with muddy toys! The accommodation is spacious too, there’s even a walk around queen bed. The best part though? The industry-leading storage space!
