Americas first pressurized overland camper - ARB Earth Camper : SEMA 2023

[@budnixon]

passive pressure systems as such only work while on the go (faster - more flow), and as soon as one hits a slow n dusty trail, it stops working. As one stops, parks into their spot - any compartment doors/windows that would be open, will draw dust into the interior as well due to vacuum being created. Being ARB they should have used a system that utilizes a fan, to keep the system working 100% duty no matter what the speed of the traveling is. Thanks for your video. Nice trailer

[@art4kino]

It’s great to see your video again!

[@mixflip]

Thanks.

[@Nimamo0791]

Welcome back.. nice to see you again.

[@mixflip]

Thanks. Do folks mean welcome back to KZbin? Or welcome back to SEMA? I always get confused when people tell me that lol.

[@MrFatboy1685]

Great video

[@mixflip]

Thanks!

[@holsteincowboy]

Great video as always. wish this was available in the UK

[@mixflip]

What is the most popular camping style in the UK? Ground tents? Rooftop tents? Vans? Trailers? I don’t think I’ve seen truck campers in the UK?

[@Nimamo0791]

Will you be finding your Canadian friends from OEV and do some videos because you guys do the best in-depth videos.

[@mixflip]

Sadly they were not at this show.

[@rdeh1678]

Lol this is not the first maybe the first they made but there are several trailers that's are pressurized but they are made in Australia and imported to the usa , for example, BRUDERX which is made in Brisbane Australia

[@steadysmv]

I continue to be impressed by Australian design, engineering, and manufacturing standards. The global RV and overlanding industries are benefiting greatly from Australian contributions. It’s a shame the international auto manufacturers abandoned the country. Big up to the Aussies for keeping the rest of us from falling into complacency.

[@mixflip]

They definitely have moved on from a simple box on wheels like American off road campers do. Aussie off road products are amazing. Google Ironman 4x4….biggest strongest shocks I’ve ever seen!!!

[@steadysmv]

⁠​⁠@@mixflipindeed. US design and build quality still very much lag behind the competition. 4 slide outs and as many TVs while barely surviving the cross country delivery to the dealer? No thanks. I’m glad to see the influence of the Australians and South Africans on the US industry, but there’s a long way to go.

[@TheBremse]

This isn’t Aussie built. It’s made in Thailand.

[@dustinmittel348]

50k no thanks the prices are getting out if hand

[@mixflip]

I agree prices for off road toys are astronomical. An airstream bascamp is about $40k granted it cant go where this can go behind a jeep Im sure. A Can Am maverick 1000 turbo is about $40k but you cant sleep in it. I know guys who spent $50k on Harley road glide CVO limited and those cant go off road or have a bed to sleep on lol.

[@dustinmittel348]

@mixflip it's just crazy To think how expensive it is and out of touch these companies are

[@mixflip]

@@dustinmittel348 i guess we just need to step our game up lol.

[@dustinmittel348]

@mixflip lol man I live in a county where I make roughly 10 more than the average family I have thought about having some one build me a square drop that's removable from a 5x10 trailer lol

[@mixflip]

thats a good idea. @@dustinmittel348

[@MarkWalters-k5b]

Why did you say it’s pressurized?

[@mixflip]

Just to get people talking. Technically it has positive pressure inside with lower pressure outside forcing dust to always stay out. Basically pressurized.

[@MrFeralsteve]

@@mixflipwe’ve been doing that in Australia for years before ARB even thought about building a camper. Positive pressure filter systems and a proprietary item here.

[@mixflip]

@@MrFeralsteve cool. I’ve never seen one in the USA.

[@SSL0707Star]

@@mixflipnow it’s quite common in USA. Kimberley Kampers are also pressurized, truly made in Australia.

[@mixflip]

@@SSL0707Star common in the USA? Hmmm I go to a lot of shows and speak to a lot of manufacturers and the bragging point of pressurized campers is never pushed to the media. USA the a list of campers that are pressurized and made in America?

[@diaperdood1]

thats probably 100,000

[@jamesturbyfill6281]

Nah man.. this is getting out of hand.. 50k with the basic options! Fully kitted out at 60k probably a lil over?!?! Then you have to average in a worthy to vehicle at probably 70k to 80k?? We are talking in the 140 to 150k range.. you can get a custom built off grid 4x4 van for that maybe just a little more.. and not have to deal with towing a camper or all that canvas to put out when you get to where your going!! Hard pass..

[@mixflip]

The canvas is very Australian. They love soft side campers I think because it’s so hot in Australia.

[@Briantan1911]

Doubt a van can go where a kitted vehicle and this trailer could go. And who wants to daily drive a van.

[@jamesturbyfill6281]

Yeah how often are you gonna put that trailer and a worthy tow vehicle in that rough of conditions?? I mean let's be real??? And if I gotta pretty much set up a rent when I get to where I'm going I may as well buy a tent and save a boat load of money!! And a van you can make 4 season ready!! No way you can do that with this thing and all that canvas!

[@mixflip]

@@jamesturbyfill6281 it’s popular in Australia.

[@mixflip]

@@Briantan1911 trailers have their place for sure. A loaded up camper van cannot go where a jeep and a trailer can go. Most people don’t know or don’t care about that fact though.

[@TheBremse]

It isn’t the world first for pressurised campers, that’s been around for decades. And it isn’t made in Australia.

[@SSL0707Star]

Not made in Australia?

[@mixflip]

Where is it made?

[@TheBremse]

@@SSL0707Star nope. ARB make most of their stuff in China now

[@TheBremse]

@@mixflip most of their stuff is made in China now and has been for a long time.

[@adammiller7186]

@@TheBremse wrong mate, ARB built and run their own manufacturing facility in Thailand. Manufacturing of ARB products are split between Australian and Thai facilities that are owned and staffed by ARB
