Altitude Campers come with a wealth knowledge in the industry of manufacturing off road campers.
From founding Johnnos Camper Trailers in 1990 the business model was hiring off road campers which became Australia largest hire fleet. This carved the way with the research and development in some off Australia’s harshest environment. The design and quality had to be the best to handle the conditions.
After selling Johnnos camper trailers we went onto designing and creating Australias lightest and smallest camper trailer to be towed behind motor bikes called Elite Campers. Once again this little camper became number one seller in Australia with its design being specific to weight and size.
Moving forward Altitude Campers where born in 2013 with all the same knowledge as the past businesses still offering the best quality, design and value for money.
With the introduction of our Alpine (13″ and 15″) and Ascent Hybrid series (13″ and 15″) the business has seen enormous growth in this area.
Using some of the lightest materials with out jeopardising strength or quality has our Alpine range come in with one of the lightest Tare weights and largest pay load weight.
We are also proud of our full Australian made workshop building the Alpine from the ground up.
In also keeping up with the times Altitude has also set up a their own factory in China to manufacture the Ascent series Hybrids. This was a hard decision to make being always Australian manufacture but with employing Quality control inspectors and engineers this has allowed us to keep the same reputation and quality.
With continuing innovation and design Altitude campers sees a bright future in the camping industry with technology making the customers experience even better.
Owner Brian Johnston of Altitude, Johnno’s and Alpine campers started building fully Australian made soft floor campers back in 2000. Johnno’s campers became a Nationally recognised soft floor, off road camper catering for campers that wanted to hire or buy. This was a true testimate to the off road ability of these campers as they experienced every off road track in Australia and became the back bone to Johnno’s campers standard expected.
After selling Johnno’s Campers back in 2003 he saw a gap in the market for a lightweight and compact camper that could be towed behind motorbikes and small cars which became Elite Campers. Increasing costs to manufacture in Australia, Brian became one of the first manufacturers to go off shore to have the product built to the same standard and quality. Elite campers became very popular nationally and is still going strong today.
Moving forward to 2013 Altitude campers was born with same goals as Johnno’s Campers to build a good quality off road camper which started with the Off road, soft floor and progressing to a hard floor shortly after. Then along came the forward fold campers and once again with the increasing costs to manufacture in Australia the forward fold range where built off shore to the same quality and standards. The market quickly moved into Hybrids and Altitude campers took the same approach as keeping the quality and standard above everything else.
At the same time Altitude still built Hybrids 100% in Maryborough Qld from the ground up including the chassis, structural foam composite body panels and lightweight but super strong internal structure. 2020 the Australian made hybrids in Maryborough where separated from Altitude campers and the new company Alpine Campers took over to stand alone as a fully Australian built company. With a total work force of over 30 staff owner Brian Johnston supports Australian and international workers.
