Jac Hanemaayer, of Dutch origin, has been living in Kitchener, Ontario since 1953. He has become involved in many businesses including home construction, residential and commercial land development, packaging equipment importation and distribution, and advanced technology to separate liquids and solids. In 1974, Jac became interested in an RV for personal use. He like the spacious room and comfort offered by class A and C motorhomes, but didnt want to become a weekend bus driver. To enjoy the convenience and mobility of a small vehicle, he checked out the class B motorhome camper van market. Being unable to find all the comforts of a larger motorhome within the convenient and efficient size of a van, he designed one for himself and had it built by fledgling Home & Park Vehicles. When it was finished, he liked it so much, he bought the company After years of personal RVing experience, he completely redesigned the product in 1980 with his now famous low profile roof, lowered floor and innovative three section floor plan; Roadtrek, Fuel Efficient Motorhomes Youll Love to Drive, was born To protect the design, Canadian and U.S. patents were secured on many of the innovative features incorporated in the Roadtrek. Jac still participates in the development and refinement of the vehicle he originated. His son Jeff started as a summer student employee and knows the product and industry inside out. In his previous position as President, Jeff oversaw the companys growth from 1985 to 2000 and continues to guide Roadtrek as Chairman while Roadtreks popularity soars to new heights. With sales to the U.S. starting in 1983, Roadtrek expanded rapidly for the rest of the 1980s. In 1990, Roadtrek became the best selling North American class B motorhome According to statistics from U.S. Recreation Vehicle Industry Association and Canadian Recreational Vehicle Association. With the steady growth of Roadtrek sales throughout the U.S. and Canada, the foundation was in place for a number of adventurous Roadtrekkers to get together and form a North America wide club for Roadtrek owners. With the ongoing support and assistance of Roadtrek, the hard work by the Charter Members resulted in the creation of the Roadtrek International Owners Club, an active Chapter of the Family Motor Coach Association, in early 1993. By the end of the first year, the club grew to over 400 vehicle members about 830 people. Now it has 2000 vehicle members about 4000 people and is one of the largest product chapters and the only class B motorhome chapter within the FMCA. Members meet new friends with common interests and take part in rallies, group outings, tours and suppers where they exchange Roadtrek experiences and share ideas.
