Investment Announcement: Traveland RV

Traveland RV is committed to selling fun and making memories.

Founded in 1977 by current owner Dale Howes, Traveland RV Superstores has grown from its beginnings in Langley, B.C. to a network of dealerships across Western Canada, including Airdrie’s recently expanded 12-acre site with a 22-bay service shop and 16,000 sq. ft. showroom.

New Airdrie General Manager, Jeff Hope, holds high regard for Howes’ vision shared by his three sons who help continue the business’ growth.

“His employees are the heroes,” said Hope.

Hope was drawn from Taber, Alta to join the team in January 2024. Coming from decades of experience in the automotive and RV sales industry, he "wanted something bigger.”

“I'm one of those guys that challenges motivate me," he said, describing Airdrie's recently expanded facility as "the nicest dealership in Alberta."

Hope said Airdrie was a strategic investment for the Howes’ family business, as it benefits from the area's booming population and room for competition.

"We have the nicest dealership in Alberta, and we're probably in one of the best areas to be an RV dealer," Hope said. "There's a ton of room to grow.”

Traveland RV isn't just about selling RVs; it's about selling fun.

"You're selling memories," Hope said, underscoring the joy and fulfilment received from helping families create lasting moments together. This ethos is woven into the fabric of the dealership, fostering a family-like atmosphere among staff.

Traveland is one of the largest RV dealers in Canada with over 1,000 RVs in stock and 70 RV techs to maintain customers’ RVs at locations in Airdrie, Langley, Kelowna and Cowichan Valley, B.C., Grande Prairie, Alta., and Martensville, Sask.

Traveland carries brands such as Airstream, Jayco, Leisure Travel Vans and more.
