Highway 1 Campers is a Melbourne-based manufacturer building camper trailers, pods and caravans, designed and built in Australia from a workshop in Mount Evelyn in the city's outer east.

It's a hands-on, customer-first operation offering both traditional timber frame and aluminium construction, with customisation at the heart of what they do so every product can be tailored to how and where you actually travel.

The range moves from a lightweight, easy-tow teardrop-style Pod that needs almost no setup, through to the off-road-capable Commander and the full-height Senator caravan, with every model Australian-made and built for Australian conditions.

Customisation runs through every Highway 1 model, so you build the camper you want rather than settle for one off the floor.

1. Off-road ready: the Commander rides on Cruisemaster coil suspension with all-terrain tyres
2. High clearance: built to handle rough tracks with confidence
3. Australian-made: designed and built locally in Melbourne's outer east

Beyond the standard build, buyers can tailor finishes and equipment to suit their own style of travel.

1. Tailored finishes: a choice of external and cabinetry colours
2. Spec to suit: a list of extras including 12V upgrades, air-conditioning, heating and off-road upgrades

The range spans the lightweight, near-zero-setup Pod (from $15,000), the off-road-capable Commander (from $29,990), and the Senator, a 16.5-foot full-height caravan in two-berth or family-bunk layouts, giving buyers an Australian-made option to suit almost any style of travel.
