RATED AVAILABLE FROM: ultimateoffroadcampers.com.au RRP: $95,990
WE SAY: For big adventures, the top-of-the-range Ultimate Campers X25 will go wherever you want it to, with caravan-like accommodation and comfort.
DESIGNING the ultimate camper trailer is a pretty simple affair; something that’s been written on beer coasters and dreamt up late at night all across the country. Forgetting the fact you’d need to actually find some way to build it, there are a few key features you’d be looking for right out of the gate. It’ll need to be lightweight for easy towing; ultra-capable, because you wouldn’t want your camper being the reason you can’t make it to camp; it should be quick to set up; and it needs huge storage options and comfortable bedding. A space out of the weather to play a game of cards in the rain would be fantastic, and if we’re throwing caution to the wind with our eternally optimistic wish list, it’d be fantastic if the camper was cool inside on hot days and warm inside on cold nights.
In the real world, things aren’t always so easy and most camper trailers are a compromise. Sometimes with budgets, other times with the manufacturer’s abilities, or lack thereof. However, Ultimate Campers isn’t your average camper-trailer manufacturer; it thinks so far outside the box there isn’t even a box at all. After hitting the tracks and rolling out the sleeping bag for a night in its top of-the-line, limited edition X25 camper, we definitely understand why it has developed a cult-like following among its customer base.
