Australian camper trailer manufacturer Offline Campers has expanded its South Australian-built range with the launch of the Ryder Lite, a new model designed for off-road adventurers and trailbike enthusiasts.
The company, founded by mechanical engineer and former defence industry professional Sam Reynolds, said the latest addition reinforces its commitment to Australian manufacturing and the use of locally sourced materials.
In a news release, Offline Campers said each camper trailer is built at Lionsgate Business Park in Elizabeth, formerly home to General Motors Holden, with production taking place on a dedicated manufacturing line.
Reynolds said the new model represents a streamlined evolution of the company’s original Ryder camper trailer, specifically designed to meet the needs of those travelling with trailbikes.
“The Ryder Lite has been stripped to the bare essentials, to allow people to take offroad motorbike trips to another level, whether it is dirt track far from the bitumen or no track at all,” Reynolds said.
The company said the Ryder Lite features a running platform with a one-tonne capacity, space for up to four bikes, and a dedicated suspension and chassis built for demanding off-road environments.
Offline Campers stated it also incorporates Cruisemaster AT suspension with twin shocks, a DO35 hitch for greater articulation, and compact dimensions designed to support navigation through challenging terrain.
The company added that the model features a REDARC GoBlock battery system to provide flexible off-grid power, with a quick-release plate allowing the system to be easily transferred between the car and camper.
Reynolds noted that the Ryder Lite was designed to keep essentials without compromising performance or durability.
“It features a running platform with one tonne capacity, room for up to four bikes, and dedicated suspension and chassis for proper offroad driving, so you can beat new paths, further out and away from the crowds,” he said.
Offline Campers also announced the release of the Ryder XLT, which expands on the Lite’s concept to accommodate larger vehicles such as side-by-sides or quad bikes, offering a stretch deck and increased payload.
“The further you can get your tow rig, the larger the range on your bikes,” Reynolds said. “The Ryder Lite and Ryder XLT are the only camper trailers of their kind on the market, which are Australian made, with kit sturdy enough to get you further out and across tricky terrain.”
Offline Campers said it continues to focus on local design and manufacturing, using as many Australian-made components as possible, including steel and electronic fittings, to ensure its camper trailers are durable and suited to Australia’s remote and rugged conditions.
“We’ve designed each camper trailer to suit people of all abilities and ages, with simple assembly and equipment that’s easy to access,” Reynolds said.
According to the company, every component – from chassis to cabinetry – is produced in Australia, supporting the state’s advanced manufacturing sector.
