Off-Road Caravans and Camper Trailers | Light Weight Materials
14 Technologies from Kimberley so you can travel and camp with the lightest ever off road camper trailer or caravan
One of the Four Technology "Centres of Excellence", this is the core technology to getting the weight down while keeping the functionality up.
The image shows the Master Galley Kitchen which is stainless steel on the upper user surfaces and powder coated alumium alloy on the remainder. The unit has to be assembled perfectly for square running on ball bearing slocking slides. (ignore the photo distortion from the wide angle)

Pre-stressed alloy and stainless steel drawer and hatch combinations. This combination of stainless and aluminium needs carefull fastening for vibration proof durability. The result gives you both ultra light weight and a durable low maintenance surface. | • | • | • | • | • | • | • | • | • | • |
Aluminium honeycomb-wafer skinned with solid surface ("Corian" like) material. This allows the pull out the table to extend 1.2m without risk of cracking. It gives you the perfect work surface without the weight!

Fibreglass wrapped alloy lateral supports for a strong tri-folding table that weighs less than 10 kgs. | • | • | ||||||||
Super Tropical roof: 1.2mm alloy laser cut and folded to maximize strength and still be ulta-light weight. | • | • | ||||||||
Signature Delta Storage box is made from a limited number of complex alloy parts designed with flexibility and strength. The lids use a curved profile for strength. The resulting 1500 litre storage is hundreds of kilograms lighter than aluminium "chequer plate" or steel construction. | • | • | • | • | ||||||
Rolled and curved Fibreglass profile. This gives maximum strength for the minimum amount of fibreglass material. Complex to make but so strong once made, the multi-dimensional corners and alloy inserts result in the lightest designs.. | • | • | • | • | • | • | ||||
Control Ride response chassis: Hybrid steel and alloy chassis: the lightest and strongest off-road chassis for a 6m internal caravan on the market. The materials are fastened with 2 piece rivets like an aircraft with polyurethane coatings for dissimilar matels. | • | • | • | |||||||
Rolled RHS window frames in alloy tube. The shape and rolling process eliminates the need for any other frame incorporated into the windows itself. The image shows the frame above the windows for the letterbox awning. | • | • | • | |||||||
Alloy rolled and formed seating. This reduces weight by two thirds yet allows maximum padding and support with 2 individual chairs. | • | • | ||||||||
"No Timber" cupboards and drawers. All the Kimberley drawers and cupboards and structured in aluminium alloy and generally powder coated. The exception is the underbed storage drawers in the Kamper which are stainless steel because of the wide open size. The weight reduction is hundreds of kilograms. | • | • | • | • | • | • | • | • | • | • |
The timber cupboard and draw fronts are presented in laminated real timber for a pleasant and luxury finish. | • | • | • | • | • | • | ||||
"Cast Polyethylene" floor. This material is perfect for flooring as it will not absorb any moisture and can be drilled and screwed like solid timber. It is UV stable and shape stable. | • | • | • | • | • | • | ||||
"Spun Polyethylene" liner and floor. This material is perfect for the 3D shape of flooring and sides from our own mould. It will not absorb any moisture and can be drilled and screwed like solid timber. It is UV stable and shape stable. This material allows the canvas to be joined to a specially prepared joining strip clamped between this internal Polyethylene liner and the outer metal trailer. Not only is the plumbing and electrical conduit between the chassis area to the inside sealed but the sealed canvas prevents dust and inscets getting in. | • | • | • | • | ||||||
Lithium Batteries for a significant reduction in "deadweight". For the equivalent use-capacity, the Lithium technology is 75% less weight! | • | • | • | • | • | • | • | • | • | • |
Super Thin Solar panels are 70% less weight for a comparable capacity. These run at a slightly higher voltage for efficient current loads and to minimise losses. The maximum size is 720W which is hundreds of kgs lighter than the equivalent glass panel array. | • | • | • | • | • | • | • | • | • | • |
