Roadtrek Featured Models - July 21, 2019


Bookmark and Share


Updated September 23, 2019
The "New" Roadtrek website is up and running.  You can see the current model offerings, but no idea of delivery status. The manuals section is there as is a list of dealers......

This is an opportune time to download the official manuals for your Roadtrek if you haven't already done so. We carry PDF versions of these and other manuals such as the Onan generator with us when travelling.

The Chevy  models are no longer offered. The Roadtrek company will be showing their Ford Transit based model during an "Open House" in Elkhardt IN  September 23-26, 2019. The Ford Transit model will be there. This may be the same one that the "old" Roadtrek was showing before bankruptcy.  No word yet on availability.

Roadtrek Factory Closure - Out of Business


Bookmark and Share



Erwin Hymer North America which manufactures Roadtreks is officially in receivership (bankruptcy) and all employees were given a termination letter dated February 15. The Canadian court appointed the legal firm of Alvarez and Marsal (A&M) as receiver.

The Receiver is empowered to deal with creditors and manage the business. At present, with no current employees, Roadtreks are not being manufactured. The Roadtrek website was shut down for a short period of time but was put back up on February 22.  A termination letter to Roadtrek employees was issued on February 15. All manufacturing has been suspended. Factory service is not currently available.

According to the "Service List" on the Receiver's website this is what Roadtrek owes the creditors:

             $273,609,280 (Canadian) to unsecured creditors.
               $15,133,001 (Canadian) to secured creditors.

If you don't have a copy of the current manual for your Roadtrek I suggest you go to the Roadtrek website and download the manual. We don't know how long the Roadtrek website will be up and manuals will be available:
