ABOUT US

We are passionate overland campers, having first started this journey in 1989 with a very capable 4x4, a 2-man tent and a suspect cooler box that doubled up as seating and a few kitchen utensils from home. We’ve gone the full circle since then having had roof top tents, sliding systems for fridges and drawers to fully kitted off-road trailers.

The focus is now to enjoy camping gear that is easy and quick to set up with all the comforts and luxuries my family expect. The OBIQUA SLIDE-ON/OFF CAMPER was developed from our personal camping experiences together with input from seasoned fellow overland campers. A quick calculation indicates that 250+ years of personal experiences have been incorporated in this product. We are sure that there will always be room for improvement and are able to customise the camper for specific customer needs. The Obiqua Camper is the ideal unit for your next overland safari adventure from following the Big Five in any national park or private game reserve to viewing the wild spring flowers in Namaqualand.

OUR WORK

OUR PRODUCT

THE SLIDE ON/OFF CAMPER

The OBIQUA SLIDE-ON/OFF CAMPER is manufactured from GRP material (fibreglass) with a self-extinguishing structural foam core. The camper is produced in a facility with a level 2 BEE contribution that specialises in composite materials having produced products for the SADF, Space Station and Antarctica to mention a few.

The OBIQUA CAMPER fits onto all the popular bakkies available in South Africa. Models are produced for double cabs, X-tra cabs and single cab bakkies. Standard factory fitted tie-down points are used. Additionally, there is no need to modify your vehicle's suspension, as the Obiqua Camper is extremely light. A unique feature of the camper is that it has a set of “legs” allowing it to be used independently from the vehicle. This allows the vehicle to be used for game drives or sightseeing without having to pack everything up and losing your favourite campsite while you are away.

When the OBIQUA CAMPER is on the bakkie it fits into a standard single garage. The unit does NOT extend over the roof of the vehicle leaving this space open for roof racks if needed. The camper has a low centre of gravity and due to it being a low profile unit, it hardly affects fuel consumption especially compared to towing an off road trailer or caravan. The heavy items eg the 55l water tank with pump, 2 x jerry cans and the batteries are all ahead of the rear axle when on a double cab bakkie.

A GRP product is easily repairable in the event of any damage to the camper. GRP is also an insulating material and is not easily influenced by temperature fluctuations compared to any metal/aluminium product which are conductive materials.
