Suncamper: Almost 50 Years of Building Australian Motorhomes

Suncamper was founded almost 50 years ago by Peter Marshall in Brookvale, NSW. It started as a small operation fitting pop-top conversions to vans, and in the late 1970s began producing four-wheel drive campervans.

In 1989, Keith Harrison purchased the business and relocated it first to Mount Kuring-gai, then to its current home in Thornleigh, Sydney. Under Harrison's ownership, Suncamper grew from a cottage operation into a full-scale motorhome manufacturer with a loyal national customer base.

The Sherwood is now in its fourth decade of continuous production at Thornleigh, the longest-running model in Suncamper's history. Today the company builds motorhomes across three ranges: Sherwood (compact adventure, Toyota HiLux or Ford Ranger, with the Conqueror 3.0 on the Ford Ranger Super Duty), Saxby (mid-size touring), and Sovereign (large luxury). All models use insulated fibreglass composite panel construction, internally aluminium reinforced on the Conquerors, with no timber framing in the walls or roof.

Suncamper is 100% Australian owned and operated, holds a five-year or 100,000km warranty across the range, and has received the CCIA NSW Gold Award of Excellence. Manufacturing remains entirely at Thornleigh, NSW.
