30 Australian Made Camper Trailers (+ 34 Imported Brands)

Share It!

Gone are the days where a camper trailer is a simple canvas tent sitting atop a box trailer. Over the years, camper trailers have evolved into very capable and well-equipped recreational vehicles, providing us with all of our adventurous needs, yet still being wrapped up in a lightweight and low-profile package.

The rise in availability of more affordable camper trailers has reduced the barrier to entry for many Australian families who are wanting to own a camper trailer, yet may not have had the funds to do so in the past.

Just like everything, China is able to replicate what the consumer wants, but at a fraction of the cost. However, with the cheaper cost, comes cheaper quality.

Many people are still opting for Australian made camper trailers purely for the superior quality and the extra bells and whistles that come with the locally-built trailers.

Australian made camper trailers are generally constructed using lighter materials, with higher-quality canvas, fittings and components. They are designed with true Aussie off-roading in mind.

Look for the ‘Australian Made, Australian Grown’ logo ↓

When looking for Australian made camper trailers, it’s important to read the company’s wording very carefully. Just because a business is 100% Australian owned and operated, that sheds no light on where the bulk of the trailers are actually manufactured.

In fact many businesses are falsely advertising Australian made camper trailers, even though the parts have been manufactured in China and shipped over as a flat pack. Simply being assembled in Australia is not enough to claim the 100% Australian Made title.

In this article you’ll find:

1. Types of camper trailers

Camper Trailer Brands Partially or Fully Manufactured Overseas

The following camper trailer brands list includes campers that are either partially or fully imported into Australia, then distributed.

Many camper trailer manufacturers will import the parts, then assemble the trailers here (sometimes with additional Australian parts). However, those products cannot stake a claim at being 100% Australian made camper trailers, so this is where they land.

Any camper trailer brands that don’t clearly advertise or state that they are Australian made in any way have also been added to this list. We can only assume that they’d be advertising it loudly and proudly if they were.

To further your research, check out my post on how much camper trailers weigh (including a comparison weight chart with averages).
