Where are they now? - stuff about DEMOUNTABLES

manufacturers/importers ... where are they now?

These are all companies and links that have recently closed or disappeared. If you would like a longer historical perspective, there's a link to RVAdvice.com on the vintage truck camping americana page or you can read about classic UK demountables.

• driftaway.com.au - [M] Driftaway produce one model of demountable (they call it a 'glide-on'), the Pardalote, among their range of trailer caravans. Designed for a flat-bed it also has a rising roof. (The Driftaway website now makes no mention of the Pardalote, or of any other model of demountable camper - last checked 21/11/09)

• nordic-husbilar.se - [M] Nordic make a large range of motorcaravans including one demountable, the Nordic Camper. (Or at least they used to. They still make a large range of motorcaravans but sadly it no longer includes a demountable - last checked 27/11/10)

• nsr-leisure.co.uk - [I] Importer of the Easy Camper range from Sweden, badged as Leisure Camper. (Site unavailable - with so few demountable manufacturers and importers in the UK it's particularly sad to note the demise of one of them but NSR Leisure appears to have become a victim of the difficult financial times - last checked 21/07/10)

• polycomposit.com - [M] The Polycomposit company produce the LogeMobile range of demountables and expedition vehicles. Their brochure (downloadable in pdf format) offers an enormous variety of layouts. (Sadly the 'credit crunch' continues to find its victims among demountable manufacturers. Polycomposit, the glass-fibre fabrication company that produced the highly-regarded LogeMobile range has gone into administration - last checked 14/12/10)
Update - 18/03/2011 - "LogeMobile is dead, long live LogeMobile!" The same models have emerged under a new name - see 'rbmobile.fr' on the European manufacturers page.

• roboafzetunits.nl - [M][I] Manufacturer of Robo Adventure demountables. They also import the Easy Camper range (badged as Nordstar) from Sweden. (Site appears to load but simply consists of a blank, pale blue page - last checked 12/02/09)

• snowrivercamper.com - [M] Site of Interior RV Products, manufacturer of SnowRiver and SnowBird campers. (Site unavailable - last checked 11/02/09)

• sunvalleyinc.com - [M] A slightly confusing site (not updated since 2003 so may not be current) for Sun-Lite and Apache campers. (Site unavailable - last checked 12/02/09)

• wrv.com - [M] Western Recreational Vehicles, manufacturer of Alpenlite truck campers. (Message on site simply reads "Western Recreational Vehicles is currently closed" - last checked 12/02/09)
