    ARB Earth Camper

    Saw this mentioned elsewhere and thought it looked interesting. Link below to the factory website

    Story | ARB 4x4 Accessories

    Made in Thailand so an import although it is designed in Australia

    Anyone see one up close?
    Is the construction with tubes as game changing as they believe?
    Coated not galvanized steel is interesting design decision

    "ARB wanted to fabricate using ARB’s signature – a tubular design with exposed welds and incorporated a roll cage inspired look"

    Sounds like the choice of construction was driven by aesthetics rather than a radical innovation in camper trailer design!

    ARB Earth Camper

    It looks like a combination of other vans - eg a Tvan….

    Tend to agree. Doesn't seem to bring anything new to the sector, other than a fairly comprehensive "dealer" network and a presence in the new car showroom after sales push.

    Still, it's a logical extension of their business.

    The layout is like a T-Van but the integrated awning isn't something I've seen on any other camper.

    Yes, that is different. I imagine it would have pros and cons. One definite pro would be that it wouldn’t be torn off by a tree or something. ( It happens, ask me how I know ).
