Columbia Northwest -

Now and Then

For over twenty-five years, Columbia Northwest, Inc. continues to produce innovative campers and trailers. The company got its start in the early 1970’s when Ralph Tait, a serial entrepreneur, began making a uniquely designed pop-up camper. He built the original Aliners for friends and word of mouth, until the early 1980's, when Ralph’s three sons helped their father grow the hobby into a business.

Columbia Northwest continues to grow simply by listening to its owners and dealers. Our products can be found in the United States, Canada, Australia, Iceland, Japan, Netherlands, and any other place our active owners may take them.
