Mervin “Merv” Rumpel, founder of Pleasure-Way Industries, died on 21 October at the age of 93. He entered the RV industry in 1968 with Glenwood Trailer Sales, and in 1986 his team built the first 10 Pleasure-Way motorhomes in the dealership’s back shop. The Saskatoon company produced Class B motorhomes sold across Canada and the United States and, for a time, in Japan. In 2024 Pleasure-Way marked its 20,000th motorhome, and the company turns 40 in 2026.
