Phone 668-6111 Brooklin's RV centres: Sport for the whole family By Debbie Luchuk Camping is one activity that all members of the family can enjoy together, notes Brad Campkin, co-owner of Campkins Camping Centre in Brooklin. "How many sporting activities can you name that an entire family can be involved in?" he says. Campkins Camping Centre offers new and used trailers, park trailer models and recreational vehicles, parts and service. The "new" line of trailers and park models are various priced Prowler products. The Brcoklin location has been open since May, and Campkin and his father have another location in Pickering. The Pickering operation has been the centre of operations for the last 14 years, since 1974. This fall, the parts and service aspects of the business will be moving to the Brooklin location, leaving Pickering as a sales centre only. Campkin says that the Brooklin location was chosen because of its frontage on Hwy 12 (a route commonly used by vacationers heading north), its central location in the sales area from Oshawa/Peterborough to Toronto, and simply because the land was affordable. "This area has proven to be a good RV (recreational vehicle) area, as it is central to our market," he says. Campkin says that he has always had an interest in camping, as he and his family had done quite a bit of camping when he was young. With their "graduation" from tents to trailers, Campkin senior and junior decided to set up shop. "We offer years of experience, and we fully guarantee all products," he says. Because of an emphasis on customer satisfaction, Campkin says that their reputation has spread by word of mouth, eliminating the need for extensive advertising. "Before the delivery of the trailer or RV, we do a complete check through with the customer, and show them how it works and so on," he says. He adds that their experience enables the Campkins to advise customers effectively on the best vehicle for their needs. Campkins Camping Centre Inc. is located on Hwy. 12, north of Brooklin. From boats to van and truck tops By Debbie Luchuk World Wide RV's Jim Currie began by building fibreglass boats in his backyard. Today the Brooklin-area business produces fibreglass boats and truck and van caps. Currie was an ironworker by trade when a friend gave him a mold for a boat. "Sômeone gave us a mold, a 19-footer, and we made it in our backyard," recalls wife Mary. "He (Jim) really enjoyed it and opened · a business in West Hili." The first business opened in 1974. A move to Ajax-Pickering followed, and then the Curries moved to Brooklin in 1984 and opened the Hwy 12 location of World Wide. World Wide RV produces three different designs of van tops and truck tops, as well as two different designs of ski boats. I3r aId O:p eriiig Sept..9, 10, 1988 Open House.
