Columbia Northwest

Columbia Northwest is a separate recreational-vehicle identity from Columbia Vehicle Group and from the historic Columbia electric-car marque. Company and industry histories describe Columbia Northwest as the business that developed around the Aliner A-frame camper after the family moved to Pennsylvania and later acquired the Aliner facility in the 1990s. NHTSA and recall records identify Columbia Northwest, Inc. as a manufacturer and list Aliner, Aliner Classic, Expedition, Ranger, Scout, Sport, Ascape and Somerset products. These are towable recreational vehicles and camper configurations rather than self-propelled automobiles; the catalog retains them because the source universe exposes a manufacturer make, while explicitly preserving the category boundary. The available public record does not provide a complete incorporation date, model-year chronology or production ledger, and Columbia Northwest is not treated as a continuation of the unrelated Columbia electric-vehicle group.
