In a significant development in the recreational vehicle (RV) industry, ARB has unveiled its Earth Camper off-road camper trailer. The unit, priced from AU$74,500, is available for order now.
The Earth Camper is designed with a round tube chassis made of 3mm-thick, mandrel-bent steel to maximize strength and eliminate weak points. This makes the Earth Camper a formidable option for all-terrain adventures.
The Earth Camper’s all-terrain capabilities are enhanced by quality suspension components, including a 900mm-long trailing arm and vertically mounted Old Man Emu Nitrocharger shock absorbers.
ARB designed the chassis and suspension first, building the rest of the camper around it. This design approach allows the shocks to be mounted vertically, providing the Earth Camper with maximum articulation, improved ride quality, and better traction.
The camper is also equipped with Maxxis RAZR all-terrain tires around 16-inch ARB ‘EC’ edition alloy wheels, and 12-inch electric brakes, as reported by WhichCar?.
The camper’s hard shell exterior is made from fibreglass-reinforced polymer, adding to its durability. The electronic rear door, which doubles as a hard floor for the annexe area when set up, allows for easy set-up at the press of a button. ARB claims that the camper is bed-ready in one minute.
The interior of the Earth Camper is well-equipped with a queen-sized bed, Sirocco fans, internal lighting, an opening side window, a collapsible dining table, USB and USB-C charging points, 240-volt sockets, and plenty of storage solutions. It also features an ARB Slide Kitchen.
The full-size freestanding kitchen comes with a stainless-steel bench area, three-burner stove, integrated sink, and a 96-litre ZERO fridge/freezer. It’s all covered by a 180-degree freestanding awning made from 280GSM poly-cotton ripstop canvas.
The kitchen is fed by 140-litre dual water tanks, and a REDARC Manager 30 battery management system controls the power needs.
A tailor-made storage cover is available at extra cost. Four tie-down buckles ensure the cover keeps the ARB Earth Camper secure, and it also features a solar panel window and zip access to electrics, so that the camper can still charge while covered.
Other accessories that can be added or paired up with the Earth Camper include awning walls, a Webasto Diesel Heater with custom ARB bracketry, an ARB Ensuite Room, a Joolca HOTTAP V2 hot shower, various canvas storage bags, more REDARC tech, and an ARB air compressor kit.
The ARB Earth Camper is a significant addition to the RV market, offering a unique blend of durability, convenience, and comfort. Its all-terrain capabilities make it a versatile choice for outdoor enthusiasts, and its comprehensive suite of features ensures a comfortable and enjoyable camping experience.
