When Kimberley Kampers first presented its ultramodern all-terrain-ready , it didn't mention whether its newest model would make it over to the United States. And while the company's US arm didn't have one to show at this year's , it did launch the uniquely fashioned teardrop around the same time. Kimberley's smallest trailer is now available for preorder and will soon be road-tripping and rock-crawling across the US with its unique combination of rugged underpinnings, space-age thermoplastic-composite construction, cushy king-sized al fresco living and panoramic viewing.
It barely took a full month for the Kube camper to get official confirmation for the US, as Kimberley USA announced preordering in early May on its Facebook page. It's also added the 17-foot-long (5.2-m) teardrop to its website, complete with a downloadable brochure and full pricing breakdown.
The Kube starts at US$53,297 for the entry level "Classic" – well more than the average teardrop trailer but a little less of a gut punch compared to the $68,500 (AUD) starting price in Australia ...
at least until you do the conversion math and see that equates to US$45,650. A "Kube" teardrop sounds like an oxymoron, but it does reflect Kimberley's design. The trailer couples a rounded front-end inspired by traditional teardrop design with a squarer, vertically walled upper body that maximizes interior space.
That opens room for Kimberley to push beyond the average teardrop, making the Kube cabin large enough to ste.
