Australian Made
Designed and manufactured at our Brisbane factory.
Extended 10-year Structural Warranty
We have confidence in the quality and workmanship of our Campers. Our confidence is backed by a 10-year structural warranty for our Campers against faulty workmanship.
Engineered with Quality Materials for Strength
Because our campers are designed and built to last, we choose only premium grade materials for construction. Marine grade aluminium (series 5,000) is the optimal material for campers. This material is lightweight and structurally robust. Our entry level campers typically weigh between 350-400kg.
Finish
Our campers are constructed around a framework of extruded aluminium tubular section, welded, and wrapped in a skin of aluminium. We offer our signature dimple plate as the external finish to your camper.
Z Roof Design
The curved rear wall of the camper creates more internal space in the rear of the camper due to the extended roof length. The Z Roof of the camper creates spacious sleeping quarters with plenty of headroom above your innerspring mattress. The additional windows facing 360 degrees capture the cooling breeze from every angle. Overall the camper has a distinctive and aesthetic design.
Curve Rear Wall and Access
The curved rear wall design improves access without compromising the lightweight, compact and aerodynamic profile. The innovative design improves access in and out of the bed particularly for couples. Curved rear stairs with handrails make entry and exiting the camper safe and easy.
Vehicle Compatibility
The camper is designed for use on 4-wheel drive vehicles and is available in a dual, space, or single cab version.
Note: Modification of the tray headboard might be required for other vehicles such as the Toyota Landcruiser (Please call to discuss).
The standard camper includes all the fundamentals required for your next camping expedition.

Individual trays vary significantly in design from manufacturer to manufacturer. Elements of the tray design that vary include: dimensions, manufactured materials, and assembly techniques. For example, the majority of trays built from aluminium and steel will include a coaming rail down each side of the tray.
The primary purpose of the coaming rail is to provide assembled strength to the tray. Commonly seen in aluminium trays, are coaming rails that are angular in shape.
The Tong camper is designed to include the coaming rail notch on each side of the camper. This ensures that the camper fits the majority of 4 x 4 ute trays in the market.
Dimple Plate
2mm marine grade dimple plate (5052)
