Outback ultimatum
When you have just celebrated
making the 500th model of a product, you can be
forgiven for taking a break to open a bottle of
champagne and feel proud of your accomplishment.
So, along with everybody else,
On The Road is congratulating Ultimate Campers on
reaching that milestone with its off-road camper.
The Ultimate is a unique
camper designed specifically for standing up to
tough conditions in the Outback.
Its streamlined body sits 57
centimetres above the road and, even if some large
obstruction were to scrape its bottom, there are no
wires, hoses or projections where they might be
damaged.

Streamlined shape makes for a
wind-cheating body, that tucks in well behind the
tow vehicle.
