Built tough right here in Australia with a strong 3mm compact aluminium construction, this all-aluminium box delivers exceptional strength-to-weight ratio—resisting the harsh outback conditions that would ruin lesser materials.

Once you setup Camp, the real Magic unfolds!
A Switchback Camper is a premium Australian-made and owned slide-on camper built from 3 mm compact aluminium. It is designed specifically for Australian adventurers who want genuine off-road toughness, smart power management, thoughtful amenities, and effortless setup — without having to sacrifice comfort or fuel efficiency. Once set up, the real magic unfolds: you have a self-contained home on the back of your ute, ready for bush tracks, beach trips, boat towing, or remote getaways.
Currently we offer one flagship model — the Switchback Slide-On Camper. It is a single, carefully engineered design that balances weight, strength, and liveability.
The expandable bed end deploys into a spacious double bed (with 150 mm thick mattress) in minutes. The full setup, including awning and kitchen access, is designed to be quick and effortless.

It will fit most tray models. On the few exceptions that do not standard fit, we can easily create your custom adapter plate.
