Kimberly Kampers has been a reliable name in the travel trailer business for nearly thirty years.
They have spent that time creating campers to accentuate
and withstand the rugged Outback like no other.
Like many modern businesses in this market, they seek to reduce their environmental impact
by adopting renewable electricity, solar energy,
rainwater reclamation, and increasing their recycling, among other things.
They don’t just hit the Australian markets, though.
They have caravans across seventeen countries.
Travel trailers like the Kruiser E3 we’ll cover in today’s video!
The Kruiser E3 takes those classic camper chassis
and reinvents them to fit a more modern theme with smooth edges.
A fiberglass storage box can carry anything from gas to generators for you.
Up near the side door is an exterior kitchenette.
An overhead awning can stretch out to give you some respite.
Swinging into the interior, we are met with enough windows and a high roof to open the caravan up.
A large innerspring mattress can swap between seating
to a two-person double bed and features storage nooks and clothing drawers.
Suppose you aren’t an outdoor cooking type of person. In that case,
there’s another two-plate induction cooktop with plenty of drawer space,
a microwave, and a thirty-four-gallon fridge/freezer combo.
Air and water heating make things more comfortable for all.
Head on down to the comments to let us know your thoughts - your feedback is always appreciated.
And stick around for our honorable mentions right after this.
Another off-road camper, the Lost Trak Hybrid Tourer from RhinoMax Campers,
is a rugged response to the Australian outback's harsh conditions.
Fitted with a unique four-airbag suspension, the Lost Trak can maintain its load carrying and ride
height characteristics. Regardless of being empty or fully loaded with people, gear, and water.
The same suspension can be leveled at the push of a button,
allowing campers to set up at a campsite in seconds, without the need of wheel chocks.
The surprisingly spacious interior features an internal gourmet kitchen,
a café-style lounge, ensuite with a low-energy hot-water shower, and composting toilet. A
luxurious master bedroom is decked out with charging ports, storage pods, and reading lights.
Once you've set up the awning outside, an external kitchen slides out,
complete with a three-burner stove, sink, and 82-liter fridge/freezer.
With roof-mounted solar, an inverter, and powerful lithium battery banks,
the Lost Trak can truly go off-grid while keeping the lights on.
We swing on by our number two, and it may just be enough to make you marvel.
I'm sure the people over at Marvel RV hope so.
They proclaim themselves as a sort of treasury of stylish and cleverly designed off-road caravans.
One of those treasures happens to be the Runamuk, which seems appropriately proficient
in running in the muck!
The Runamuk is a fifteen-foot-long camper built to be a perfect middle-ground.
It's able to travel where those larger caravans can't,
but without sacrificing all those creature comforts, we have come to rely on.
Although this is a little heavier than other hybrids, its thin
six-and-a-half-foot width makes it perfect to follow the wheel tracks of a large SUV.
With 240 watts of solar power, 200 amps of battery power,
124L of freshwater, and 50L of grey, the Runamuk allows you to explore nearly risk-free.
When you get hungry, an external slide-out kitchen with a hooded BBQ
should take care of your needs. You still have to do the cooking though.
If you're like most people today, and the chains of modern living hold you taut,
then you crave convenience. Thankfully,
Marvel RV knows this and stocked the Runamuk with everything you could need.
A large 216L fridge and freezer, full ensuite with a separate shower and toilet,
and even a washing machine make the experience even more enjoyable.
All in all, the Runamuk will cost a pretty $54,800.
For number three, we move onward to Star Vision Campers and Caravans,
another travel trailer company from Australia that is devoted to their craft.
Star Vision has three words to describe their campers; Durable, agile, and affordable.
Star Vision has a few models in their repertoire, but the one we're interested in today is the CX1.
This is a compact, lightweight pop-up camper that looks inspired by military equipment or vehicles.
All of the models in Star Vision's line have this aesthetic.
The CX1 is stocked with SV independent suspension,
making off-roading a much more comfortable, safe, and pleasurable experience.
The exterior is where you'll find a lot of the features of this one.
A large toolbox on the front, slide-out fridge, pull-out kitchen, two full-size spare tires,
a wind-out awning, and a couple of roof-fitted solar panels make up the bulk of your needs.
There is inside and outside access to the portapotty when nature calls,
so you're covered no matter the emergency.
The interior of the CX1 is simple but looks effective. Plenty of storage throughout in
the form of cupboards and drawers, as well as a handful of USB ports.
However, the thing that sets the CX1 apart from its contemporaries
is the bunk beds, both a bottom and a top. Right next to them is an even bigger bed.
In terms of affordability, the CX1 from Star Vision
is the cheapest on the list at around $25,700.
Suppose the well-traveled campsites and popular attractions are getting a little crowded.
In that case, there's nothing quite like going off-road
to discover those quiet, isolated spots with no-one in sight.
To go where the weekend warriors wouldn't dare,
you need a camper trailer that can handle the unpredictable terrain ahead.
Trailer manufacturer Camel Campers developed the Nomad 14-4 for this very purpose.
The Nomad sleeps 4,
two adults in the main king-size bed and another two in the rear, queen-sized drop-down bed.
Onboard you've got all the comfort of home; an ensuite featuring a toilet and hot-water shower,
convertible dinette, storage galore,
and an external slide-out kitchen with a built-in sink and three-burner cooktop.
Power comes courtesy of solar panels, a Projecta 1000W inverter,
and two AGM batteries. As a testament to its off-road capabilities, Nomad's hubs,
suspension, and construction elements are backed by a lifetime structural warranty.
It doesn't get much more rugged than the South African wilderness when it comes to brutal,
unforgiving terrain.
For over 30 years, Conqueror Off-Road Campers have been crafting durable
military-grade equipment to withstand the harsh South African environment.
In fact, their first clients were the military
before they expanded into the leisure and camping industry.
The UEV-14 is a robust, feature-packed camper built for toughness,
reliability, and a surprising level of luxury.
Featuring a lightweight aluminum frame, reinforced composite panels, and epoxy coating,
the UEV-14 sits on an independent D-arm with double shock absorbers,
16" aluminum rims, corner stabilizer jacks, and an auto-reverse coupler with run-in braking.
Once you expand the sleeping module and enter via the rear access door,
you'll find a patented and industry-first Side Foldout Double Bed,
dimmable LED lighting, an optional media center, and plenty of interior storage.
Back outside and every compartment seems to contain
another well-engineered and discrete amenity.
A 270-degree "insta-awning" descends from the roof
and assembles within seconds using integrated dropdown poles.
An external kitchen comes complete with a two-burner stove, pantry, hot and cold-water
plumbing, cutlery, and fridge storage, as well as a fully retractable prep space.
The outdoor heated shower comes equipped with a private cubicle and auto-shutoff water pump.
Other compartments house external bins, jerry cans, tools, and supplies as needed.
For power, two deep-cycle batteries with 12V DC charging come standard,
but an additional solar package is needed if you want to go both off-road and off-grid.
