HOW DOES ONE KNOW IF THE CAMPER TRAILER IS AUSTRALIAN MADE?

HOW DOES ONE KNOW IF THE CAMPER TRAILER IS AUSTRALIAN MADE?
Unfortunately, a number of imported camper trailers claim “100% Australian designed and built”, “Proudly Australian owned” or “Australian made and owned”, so it is not easy for the customer to determine the country of origin.
All Australian made tents have a “care for canvas” label provided by the Australian canvas manufacturer sewn into the tent. Buying from a Guild member with this logo, is a guarantee of Australian manufacture.

Australian Canvas is the best in the world

Australian Canvas is the best in the world

Australian Canvas is the best in the world – and yes, Canvas is still made in Australia.

Wax Converters Textiles is the leading canvas manufacturer and is based in the Hunter Valley of NSW. They produce their canvas using the DYNAPROOFED process.

Made for Australia Conditions

Dynaproofed Australian Canvas The Dynaproofed range of canvas fabrics are tried and proven with many customers still having camper trailer and caravan tents performing well for over 20 years. This is due to only the highest quality ingredients being used for manufacturing with UV Stabilisers, Colour Pigment, rot proofing agents, mildew inhibitors, acrylic binders and water proofing waxes all scientifically and carefully selected. With Australia being the harshest outdoor environment in the world – other canvas manufacturers based in Europe, America and/or Asia do not require such high standards for their canvas to perform in their local markets. This means that their fabrics are not really suitable for the Australian climate.

Dynaproofed Canvas is produced to achieve 2 performance properties:
1. Keeping the rain out during storms, and
2. Allowing airflow inside the tent in hot and tropical environments. Thus, no condensation inside the tent.

The 2 aspects are not readily achievable and have come about with technically superior weaving constructions and production processes that WCT has developed over decades of canvas manufacturing.

Why choose a Cameron?

There are many reasons why to choose a Cameron Camper Trailer

We don’t just put our name on our campers but we put our heart into it… because building enduring campers is our passion.

We have over 42 years of manufacturing camper trailer and canvas experience. We know what we are talking about. “Information is not knowledge. The only source of knowledge is experience. You need experience to gain wisdom.” Albert Einstein

We are a family business based in Lonsdale, South Australia since 1978. We are a brick and mortar business, not just simply a mobile number. We give you peace of mind that we will be around for years to come, give you service and will always address any concerns or issues that you may have.

We are an Australian leader of camper trailer manufacturing and guarantee that all our campers are subject to strict engineering compliance for Australia Standards and that the complete manufacturing process is conducted here in Australia with the very best of materials – including chassis, body, suspension, tent and canvas. We are a proud member of the Australian Manufactured Camper Trailer Guild (AMCTG). Don’t be stranded with an inferior product.

 Both our trailer and tent is all manufactured here in Australia. Many competitors claim that their camper trailer is Australian made but it may be just the trailer or just the tent or only the roof but not the walls! In doubt, ask. The Australian Manufactured Camper Trailer Guild will be more than happy to answer any questions you may have.

We use only superior proofed canvas that is three times more waterproof than other locally supplied canvas. It is also mildew resistant, highly breathable, dimensionally stable with balanced canvas weights. A tough canvas made for tough conditions.

We manufacture all our tents from genuine Australian made proofed 508gsm (15oz) heavy duty canvas on our roof and walls for tear resistance and durability, greater insulation and light block-out. The natural hydrophobic qualities of canvas combined with it’s breathablity provides a product that is both water resistant and rapid drying. The canvas is treated to be mildew resistant. All tent work is double stitched and reinforced at stress-points for longevity, durability and greater sealing.

 We are innovative and one of the first to build camper trailers here in Australia. We use the latest rivet and adhesive construction technology and designed a number of patents including the clever easy fold technology for quick tent set up and pack up and the unique framed Dust Cover which doubles as a quick easy kitchen awning. There is a reason why we do things the way we do, to make camping easier.

Our campers is designed in minutia detail and always road tested to ensure it will withstand Australia’s toughest conditions.
