TUFPORT OVER THE YEARS
Built to Endure: The History Behind Tufport
Nearly six decades ago, cousins Bob and Harley embraced all the outdoor adventures British Columbia had to offer, from salmon fishing on the coast to camping by inland lakes, and moose hunting in the northern wilderness. However, they found themselves frustrated by the lack of mobile accommodations that could keep up with their passion for the outdoors. Tents were too time-consuming to set up and unreliable in the rain-soaked West Coast. Campers made trucks groan under their weight and slowly rattled apart on gravel roads. Trailers and motorhomes? They couldn’t even reach the places where real adventures begin. After years of taking shelter under their trucks
to avoid the weather, Bob and Harley decided to create their own solution.
They had heard about a new material called “fiberglass”. As seasoned entrepreneurs in the construction business, they founded a company in 1966 in Richmond, B.C., named Fibermold, and began building patterns and molds for truck caps. But not just any truck caps—these were taller, 36” high models designed for camping and fishing trips. The success of these models led to the creation of a 42” high version, offering nearly 5 feet of interior height. Alongside these innovations came Van Tops—fiberglass roofs that provided standing room in vans, giving every outdoor enthusiast a dry place to sleep without limitations.
Bob’s success in the fiberglass industry paved the way for his sons to start Horizon Fiberglass in 1980 in Delta, B.C., where they took over the Van Top business. By 1985, Horizon Fiberglass had purchased Fibermold, uniting all the products and family under one roof. After a brief venture into making a few thousand fiberglass dinghies, (yes, they were great, but we no longer produce them), Horizon expanded their product line by evolving their canopies into Slide-Ins. By adding a box liner to the bottom of the canopies, they created a unibody structure that was stronger, completely sealed from the elements, and transferable between different truck brands. This versatility led to the development of several different product lines, with Slide-Ins being used for everything from emergency patient transport to tree planting and fiber-optic splicing.
In 2007, Jeff and his wife, Krista, rebranded Horizon Fiberglass as Tufport, finally giving the company a unique name to match its innovative products. Shortly after, their children, Amanda and Tyler (the third generation, if you’ve been counting), joined the company. Their influence helped Tufport capitalize on the resurgence of Van Tops, catching the eye of Wasatch Overland, an emerging van outfitter based in Salt Lake City.
What began as a phone call for two Van Tops in the spring of 2021 soon turned into regular monthly shipments. Not long after, Wasatch Overland began selling and outfitting Slide-Ins, transforming Tufport’s products with daring yet thoughtful interiors for the recreational market.
In 2024, we were thrilled to introduce the Tufport Overlander. By combining Wasatch Overland’s interior design expertise with Tufport’s composite craftsmanship, we have created the ultimate recreational Slide-In. The Tufport Overlander continues the original founders’ dream, proving that there are now no limits to exploration.
