The Ultimate has landed at Eagle Outdoors!

Ultimate Off-Road Campers is delighted to announce that through our parent company, Eagle Outdoors, potential customers can now touch, feel, see and buy an off-road camper from Ultimate at three new interstate locations.

Steve Smith, National Sales Manager for Ultimate Off-Road Campers, said “For years we tinkered around the edges of having showrooms in place in other states but once we became part of the Eagle Outdoors family it became easy for us to make it happen.

“We’re excited that potential customers in Perth, the Gold Coast and around Melbourne can purchase an Ultimate XPLOR or Ultimate XPLOR GT without having to wait for shows and expos to come around.”

All showrooms are under the Eagle Outdoors banner. Opening times in Western Australia and Queensland are 9am — 5pm, Monday through Friday, and 9am — 1pm on Saturday. In Victoria, times are 9am — 5pm, Monday through Friday, and 8am — 12pm on Saturday.

These new showrooms support the Ultimate Off-Road Campers showroom and manufacturing facility at Moruya on the South Coast of New South Wales and the company’s representative in South Australia, Barossa Off-Road.

For address details of all showrooms please see our Showrooms & Reps page on the company website.

Ultimate Campers releases show schedule for first six months of 2019

Moruya-based Ultimate Off-Road Campers has released its schedule of shows that it will be attending between January and June 2019. 

This will be the first shows for the iconic off-road camper trailer brand as part of the Eagle Outdoors Group. For the first time in several years, Ultimate Campers will be in WA at the Perth Caravan and Camping Show.

Steve Smith, National Sales Manager, said “We’ve been doing shows for more than two decades and they are still a key part of our planning. The internet has certainly changed how we interact with potential customers and we are excited about the emerging interstate showroom network, but the organised shows still work for Ultimate Campers.”

The list of shows that Ultimate Off-Road Campers will be attending between January and June 2019 can be found on the company’s Shows & Events page on the website.

“It’s a great idea to book an appointment in advance of the shows. We can get pretty busy and if people are genuinely interested in our off-road camper trailers we want to make sure we give them the time they need,” said Steve.

The adventure continues….as part of the Eagle Outdoors Group

Eagle Outdoors Group is excited to announce the purchase of Ultimate Off-Road Campers and is looking forward to continuing to manufacture these world-class innovative campers in Moruya.

“We are one hundred per cent committed to the people and local community who have made this amazing camper such a success over the past two plus decades,” said new owners and founders of Eagle Outdoors Group, David and Bronwyn Rodgers.

Eagle Outdoors is a large, well known and respected outdoor and camping manufacturing family business that has been in operation since 1978. The company’s headquarters is in Melbourne.

“We are delighted to be maintaining employment for many of the local team who know this product inside out and will take us forward in the years ahead. These are high-quality campers that will continue to be made in Australia, by Australians, for Australian off-road adventures,” they added.

Other Eagle Outdoors Group brands include, amongst others, Bluewater Campers, EMU Camper Trailers and Didgeridoonas Australia.

Ultimate Off Road Campers lifts the lid on game changing product development

Ultimate Off Road Campers has announced the launch of an automatically lid on its range of iconic off-road camper trailers. The new product is set to be unveiled at Australia’s biggest camping and touring show at the Rosehill Racecourse from 24 – 29 April 2018.

The auto-lid is being sold as an optional extra to the current model line up – the XPLOR, XTERRAN, XPLOR GT and NEXUS – with effect from the Rosehill Show. There are no plans at the moment to retrofit the auto-lid. 

Co-owners of Ultimate Off Road Campers, Michael and Wendy Hackett said, “This is a game changer for us. It is something that many potential customers and owners have asked us about and something we have wanted to do for a long time. We’re delighted to be making this happen.

“The actuators we use are widely recognised for their quality and reliability and we have tested and proved them for over five years on our Nautilus campers. They are rated to a minimum of 10,000 cycles.”

It takes around 40 seconds to the auto-lid to be completely open or close and is priced at at $2,850.

In addition to the auto-lid, Ultimate Off Road Campers also announced that it will be adding the all-new REDARC RedVision Total Vehicle Management System (TVMS) to its list of optional extras for the XPLOR, XTERRAN and XPLOR GT. The the TVMS will be a standard feature of the flagship model, NEXUS.
