Who are we

In 2019, Vida Campers began production on its first model of all-aluminum lightweight pop-up tent campers with a starting unloaded weight of 690 lbs – car towable pop-up campers. Rapid growth as a Canadian RV manufacturer of lightweight trailers, along with many requests by RV owners for a true all-aluminum lightweight travel trailer lead to another new lineup of RVs.

In 2024, Vida Campers released 6 innovative floor plans of the Refuge lightweight aluminum travel trailers. The Vida Refuge trailers combine elegance and comfort into a compact travel trailer. Starting weights at 1625 lbs, the Refuge travel trailers offer RV buyers a better built aluminum travel trailer – SUV towable.

Phil, Cindy and their son Blair continue to pave the way with remarkable innovation, design and quality in the RV industry, while enjoying the practical side of camping with their own RV.

passion

It’s more than a business to us – we’re outdoor enthusiasts and actually “do what we build”.

Our family enjoys the RV lifestyle. Campfires at night, time with family and friends, outdoors adventures and a lifetime of family memories – we love every aspect of camping.

From kids in a tent and portaging down the river, to travel trailers with extra “creature comforts” – the excitement for camping experiences are passed on from one generation to the next.

Commitment

Over 10 years of selling popular RV brands in Canada, we’ve seen many build quality issues taint the RV industry leaving bad experiences – it should not be. Having owned an RV dealership, our family has gained perspective on the challenges, concerns and issues surrounding poor quality RVs.

Fuelled by the love for camping and a passion to “build it better”. Our family began the journey of manufacturing all aluminum and composite Vida Aire pop-up tent campers in 2019, and the Vida Refuge travel trailers in 2024. Our mission is to ensure you receive next-level quality, design, and support by a team that truly cares.

Leading with integrity, our production team commits to superior result. Our goal is to build an RV that exceeds your expectations, last a lifetime and involves little to no warranty repairs. Are we perfect? No, but we’re always improving. Its crucial to remain consistent in our process to ensure every new RV receives the same attention to detail. Even after you receive your new RV, be assured you’ll have a dedicated support team to answer any questions and resolve issues.

innovation

Leading edge designs and engineering, VIDA Campers leaps forward comparing to other RV brands with our all-aluminum structure from the ground up. Our fully-welded aluminum framework is the foundation of building a better RV that lasts. The frame, floor and walls are aluminum.

Using composite AZDEL interior panels, and 100% aluminum cabinets (pop-up campers) and PVC composite cabinetry (travel trailers) we guarantee NO WOOD, NO ROT. Other manufacturers claim they’re “all-aluminum”, but the story changes inside the RV. Our story of aluminum and composite remains true throughout.

Taking it one step further is our specialty! All components on our RVs are selected and incorporated to improve performance and reliability.

When you see our Vida Campers, you’ll see we’ve left the traditional ways of building RVs behind.
