Transend - we park it better!
Born from the partnership of seasoned RV and park model dealers Dennis and Jackie Ford, alongside experienced residential and commercial builders Duane Hill and Joanne PerrotHill, Transcend represents a fusion of expertise and dedication.
Amidst the challenges of the Covid pandemic, which saw many manufacturers struggle with pricing, quality, and supply chain issues, these two couples identified a crucial gap in the market: the need for a high-quality, Canadian-made, four-season park model. Duane and Joanne's original development of a "Plug and Play" home, affectionately dubbed a "park model on steroids," was capable of being transported and set up in a single day. Strategic ownership of a lumber yard has been instrumental in maintaining cost efficiency and value throughout their builds. Transcend now proudly operates from an indoor production facility near Saskatoon, employing Journeyman trades to ensure unparalleled quality.
The company prides itself on a hands-on approach, actively involving themselves from design through to delivery, thus creating a sense of family with their customers. They invite you to explore their commitment to excellence and innovation in the pages that follow.
