Special 30th Anniversary Ultimate bush camper up for grabs

NSW's Ultimate Campers is celebrating its 30th anniversary with a limited run of 'X30' special-edition campers, with the first of 30 X30s scheduled to be built currently up for grabs in an online auction.

The limited-edition X30 is based on Ultimate's mid-spec, 975kg Tare GT model, which already comes with a long list of deluxe features as standard including independent long-travel coil suspension, premium Aussie canvas shelter and safari roof, 240AH lithium battery system, luxury U-shape lounge and king size bed, 140L fresh water and hot shower, tough polyurea stone protection and 1340L nose cone storage.

However, the 'No.1' X30 premium bush camper comes with around $25,000 of optional extras including a 360 degree tent and ensuite room, pegless pole and anti-flap kits, a rear grab handle, heavy-duty cross bars, mounted twin jerries, a Dewalt toolbox, bike mount, and Redfoot chock kit.

Boasting a solid white exterior finish, X30 decals and a special 30th Anniversary metal badge, the 'No.1' Ultimate X30 also stands out internally with optional vinyl grey rubber flooring and stainless bed-end gas struts, while off-grid power has been significantly boosted with a 608Ah 12V lithium battery set-up with a Redarc 3000W invertor and Manager Alpha 100 BMS.

Ultimate Campers says pricing for its X30 premium off-road compact camper trailer starts at $79,990, with the loaded-up 'No.1' X30 valued at more than $95,000.

At the time of writing the highest bid for the first X30 Limited Edition camper was sitting at $87,500, with the online auction finishing at 12pm (AEST) August 21. Click here to head to the auction site for further details.

The first X30 is currently on display at Ultimate Campers' 30th Anniversary Muster being held at the Ross River Resort in the Northern Territory. Meanwhile, Ultimate Campers is also celebrating its third Camper Trailer of the Year trophy in the space of four years, after its XTRK model beat a Patriot Campers' GEN2 X3 for this year's main prize. An optioned up Ultimate Xscape worth around $120,000 won the 2023 best camper trophy.

Since taking over the reins of the NSW camper manufacturer in 2018, Eagle Outdoors has taken the Ultimate Campers brand further upmarket as well as making numerous changes designed to improve on an already highly regarded 30-year old compact camper design.

Ultimate is one of few remaining Aussie companies to fully manufacture, design and engineer a range of hardcore off-road camper trailers down under, and recently put out a factory tour video of its Moruya, NSW manufacturing facility to highlight this fact...
