Signature Camper trailer
Hi guys! This weekend, we’re at Tunnel Bend in the Victorian High Country, celebrating Shane’s 50th birthday with a few great friends. We're excited to give you a tour of our camper trailer setup, which we believe is perfect for couples, solo campers, and small groups.

Lightweight: Weighs approximately 1,400 kg, making it easy to maneuver and store.
Elevated Sleeping: Keeps us off the ground, away from cold and potential wildlife.
Camp Setup Comparisons
