Kimberley Kampers celebrates 30th birthday

After the double floods in March 2022 that affected the factory directly, NSW's Kimberley Kampers has announced an investment of more than $200,000 in new vacuum infusion technology and CNC routers to ensure it keeps its manufacturing in Australia, and to insulate itself from international events and disruptions caused by local supply chain issues.

And on the eve of its

Exclusive features being introduced progressively on the Kimberley range of camper trailers, pop-tops and caravans include vented disc brakes and heavy-duty 60mm stub axles, along with 2.5-inch off-road custom proprietary racing shocks with remote reservoirs on 30th Anniversary models.

In addition, the NSW manufacturer said the existing composite floor will be replaced with more environmentally friendly but super-rigid 'Armapet' insulated panels, made from recycled plastic bottles.

The 30th Anniversary models will also get Kimberley Kampers' new 'smart' Power eco-system supplied by EcoFlow, which boasts a 5000kWh 48V lithium battery, integrated inverter, charger, DC booster, solar regulators, AC and DC distribution, and remote switching.

Other 30th Anniversary upgrades include 60 per cent larger windows on Kruiser models; more conveniently located compressed air accessories; a new V-Breathe Ioniser air purifying and filtering system; and the option to go completely 'gas-free' by running an electric Weber BBQ outside.

In another industry 'first', Kimberley is also now offering an optional Starlink mobile satellite internet package for buyers who want to stay in touch regardless of their location.

The innovative manufacturer is also looking at introducing NCT (Noise Cancelling Technology) into their caravans that create “calm bubbles” around the bed area for a better night's sleep.

Kimberley Kampers' Managing Director James Cockburn said the confidence for the significant technology investment and '30th Anniversary' upgrades has in part come from the company’s growing export business, with Kimberley now exporting around $300,000 of product to the USA on a monthly basis to meet record demand.

Cockburn said the last North American show that Kimberley attended generated $1.4million of orders in just four days.

“After the stumble in 2018, the new owners have taken the brand from strength to strength and solidified its market share, opening up new markets and concentrating on building the best product that competes on a world stage,” he said.
