Ultimate Campers 25th Anniversary

Aussie icon celebrates 25 years in business with a Monster Muster and a brand-new model

NSW-based Ultimate Campers celebrated 25 years in business by unveiling a new model, the X25, and hosting its biggest ever muster on home soil on the South Coast of New South Wales.

More than 150 of the iconic off-road camper trailers have come together at Merry Beach, Kioloa, to celebrate the company’s quarter century manufacturing the distinctive camper. The muster took place from 12 – 14 March. The muster became even more special for the company’s legion of fans due to it coinciding with the unveiling of the latest model in the range, the aptly named X25.

Company owners, David and Bronwyn Rodgers said, “It has been a difficult year for everybody here on the South Coast, between the bush fires and the COVID-19 pandemic, but like our camper trailers, we’re very resilient.

“We’re so proud of the team and what they have achieved over the year. This is a great new addition to our range, it’s lighter, quicker to set up and includes more innovations than ever, inside and out.”

New manufacturing processes have allowed 65kg to be removed from the fiberglass composite, making the already market-leading low tare weight even lower. There are new stabiliser legs on the X25, and the already quick set-up time has been halved. There is a new clear coat finish that will allow metallic colours to be used for the first time, whilst high-capacity batteries will deliver 4x the previous capacity. There is an updated interior design with more storage and a luxurious finish, including mood lighting.

The X25 comes with a wider range of options including air conditioning, air suspension, off-grid electronics and high-capacity solar systems.

Eurobodalla Mayor Liz Innes got a sneak peek at the new X25 during a visit to the company’s head office and manufacturing facility in Moruya where Ultimate Campers employs more than 40 local people.

“It’s wonderful to see a homegrown Eurobodalla business thriving and bringing new products to the market. David and Bronwyn and the whole local team are to be congratulated,” Mayor Innes said.

Ultimate Campers was bought by David and Bronwyn Rodgers in late 2018 and is a part of their Eagle Outdoors Group, a large, well-known and respected outdoor and camping manufacturing family business that has been in operation since 1978. The Group’s headquarters is in Melbourne.

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.”

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.
