Stoney Creek Campers may be less than six years old, but it’s in hot pursuit of market-leading Chinese camper importer MDC, preparing to open a new company-owned showroom in Newcastle early in the New Year to add to its existing direct outlets in Melbourne (Campbellfield), Brisbane (Ipswich) and Perth (Wangara). At the same time the Queensland-based, family-owned business plans to update its current five-strong soft and hard-floor camper and single hybrid pop-top range with two new models in early 2018. A new Scout Hybrid has just been completed and will be rolled out over the Christmas-New Year period, while Stoney Creek will introduce a new small folding soft-floor camper called the Nugget at around the same time, taking its camper trailer range to six models.
Like its predecessors in Queensland and Victoria, the company’s most recent facility in Perth that opened in late June this year is a spacious, modern showroom large enough to house the full current Stoney Creek range.
Stoney Creek broke through another barrier in late September when it displayed its full off-road range for the first time at the Perth Royal Show – Perth's biggest community event attracting 400,000 visitors from the city and the country every year.
Stoney Creek Campers Wangara is also having a one-day, end-of-year-sale on Saturday December 9 from 9am-5pm, with camper bonus packs and discounts to showroom stock.
To add spice to the day, WA’s own Jo Clews will be at their Boom Street showroom doing cooking demonstration, while there will be a Jumping Castle to entertain children.
While the Stoney Creek brand is relatively new in Australia, the experienced team behind it isn’t. Since growing up with camping and caravan travel, it was a natural progression for Hank Rojek to enter the caravan and camper trailer industry, leading him to establish the Trackabout brand, which he sold 15 years ago.
