New Blue Dog camper from EarthCruiser

A Queensland-based manufacturer of all-terrain motorhomes has released a new range of purpose-built modular camper bodies suitable for a range of light truck chassis.

The new Blue Dog camper bodies from EarthCruiser Overland Vehicles incorporate two slide-out sidewall sections which, according to the company, “creates a spacious living and catering area and yet still provides sufficient room for separate shower and toilet compartments”.

The Blue Dog camper is supplied as a completed module, insulated and fitted out with air conditioning and all interior equipment including a microwave and TV. Fitment of the 1275kg camper body can be completed in less than 16 hours by a competent tradesman, depending on whether through-cab access is required.

"A Blue Dog camper body can be fitted by the customer, at our own factory, or by any competent body builder to a number of chassis’ including such well known Japanese manufacturers as FUSO, Hino and Isuzu plus the European makes of Mercedes-Benz with the Sprinter cab chassis, Iveco with the Daily and Volkswagen with the Crafter," said EarthCruiser’s managing director Lance Gillies. 

"This flexibility of mounting options gives tremendous choice to the customer. It may well be they already have a light truck of their own," he said. "By purchasing a Blue Dog camper body they can immediately benefit from having all the versatility of a purpose-built camper for whatever leisure activities they choose.”

Priced from $67,000, the Blue Dog camper is built by the same company behind the rugged, continent-crossing EarthCruiser Expedition vehicles.

"(Whereas) the EarthCruiser is a unique go anywhere Australian all-wheel-drive motorhome designed for extreme off road travel and easy transportation anywhere in the world, the Blue Dog camper range is designed for those that enjoy the adventurous lifestyle but don’t want to turn their holiday into an extreme expedition," Gillies said.
