Truck Camper Renaissance in Australia

After being in the Doldrums for years, it looks like Millenials and others have " discovered" Truck Csmpers in Australia. That does not mean CamperTrailers and Hybrid Caravans are going backwards.It does mean that TC's are in the mix
Here is a TC from a new manufacturer from a Western Australia
A Country Caravan and Camping Show will have 10 TC's on display
Desert Tray Back Campers


  • RobertRyan,

    "That thing is bada$$."

    What NRALFR said. At the risk of being redundant, why does OZ get all the cool campers? We have tray campers here but none as impressive as the lead post.

    ;)

    Best,

    Bill

    I’m not sure I recognize the contraption on top of the diamond tread storage box on the back. What is that? Tankless water heater?

    That thing is bada$$.

    Good question what that is,as they do not go into details. it is on a Toyota LandCruiser Diesel V8 Ute . BadAss as you say also applies to the various Expedition Motorhome manufacturers who are now selling their vehicles Globally
    SLR has about 5 Variants of their Expedition Vehicles

    Now you have local manufacturers doing Slideouts. Manufacturer mainly does Horse Floats

    I’m referring to the Desert Trayback.
