Have recently heard on the grapevine from a manufacturer of a type of
sandwich cladding material used for caravans, that Kimberly Kampers are coming out with an offroad caravan type product called the 'Karavan' .
Apparently it will be a hybrid type vehicle with many features of a camper trailer but without the canvas of course and have no internal kitchen and is only small being about 5mts long - sounds similar to the Jurgens Expedition van.
A caravan/trailer seems to make sense with many people looking for increased comfort but still wanting to get offroad away from the crowds and still have a bit of that roughing it /
camping feel. It may solve, for some, the old debate of caravan v's camper trailer.
Whatd'ya think, I for one would be interested in this type of thing. Anyone know more?

G'day
Have a look at this URL Frontier for something similar to what you enquire about. Made in Queensland.

More interested in the portable keg cooler but at $780 might keep having to drink out of home brew bottles and not out of a tap!

Don't know anything re KK but AORC (Odyssey camper) I know are also doing the same. Have a mate who supplies to them.
He says their van will be called the 'Eclipse' and have the same slide out kitchen as the camper trailer and be very compact but with all the goods.
I think these might be a goer because of more demand for something in between a van and trailer. Depends on price I suppose.
