Australia
• activecampers.com.au - [M] Active Campers make demountable units for pickups ('ute style') and flat-bed trucks ('flat tray').
• adventurecampers.com.au - [M] One model of demountable, the TrayTop, designed for flat-bed trucks and off-road driving.
• auslidecampers.com.au - [M] AuSlide Campers offer the same range of campers and services as the U.S. company Panther Campers. Not surprisingly both are owned by Superior RV Manufacturing Inc based in Vancouver, Washington.
• austinscaravans.com.au - [M] Austins Caravans & Trailers describes itself as a "great caravan and leisure centre, plus!" - the Gift Shop certainly looks like it's worth avoiding at all costs - but, if you click on 'Products' and follow the first link, you'll find information about their 'Austin-Star' slide-on camper.
• escaperv.com.au - [M] Escape RV manufacture only four models of demountable camper but they range from the small and basic 'Tubby' to the large and luxurious 'Crossover'. In their different ways they are each interesting and unusual.
• innovan.com.au - [M] Well named, Innovan produce a genuinely innovative slide-on camper (for flat-bed trucks) and a similar caravan. Constructed in glass-fibre they look as though they could take just about anything you could throw at them.
• islandercampers.com - [M] Islander Campers manufacture a range of demountable campers in both hard- and pop-top configurations. The range includes the 3-metre 'Holiday', designed to exploit the benefits of the Quick Hitch system mentioned on this site's chassis & bed modifications page.
• millardrv.com.au - [M] A welcome return of the Millard website (previously featured on the 'In Memoriam' page) and its slide-on camper. Millard are one of the oldest Australian RV builders.
• outbackcampers.com.au - [M] Another manufacturer producing just one model of demountable, in this case the Tray Topper, but in variations for single, extra and double cab pickups.
• ozcape.com.au - [M] Ozcape Campers manufacture a five-model range of demountables, from basic to luxurious, but all for flat-bed trucks.
• piggyback.com.au - [M] Piggy Back Campers manufacture a range of backs and accessories for flat-bed pickup trucks.
• trayon.com - [M] Demountable camper units for single or double cab trucks. In typical Australian style it's flat-beds only though.
• turtlebackcampers.com.au - [M] TurtleBack describe their demountable as 'a glide-on camper'.
• 3dogcamping.com - [M] The curiously-named 3-Dog-Camping company produce an equally curiously-named ute back camper, the 'Deefa'.
• rv.net - All the links above are to sites that I've happened across, and taken an interest in, as I've been looking around the web. If you're looking for a more comprehensive listing of Australian manufacturers this thread on the RV.net site may offer it.

South Africa
• ahaweb.co.za - [M] AHA ("Anywhere Hassle-free Accommodation") Outdoor Systems manufacture a demountable unit that is part tent, part hard-side camper. Very compact but definitely made for a temperate climate.
• alu-cab.co.za - [M] As its name implies Alu-Cab manufactures a variety of aluminium bodies and canopies for pickups and other vehicles. The range includes pop-top (or "flip-roof" as they call it on the site) Alu-Campers for a number of different pickups though the manufacturers declare their own preference for Toyota Landcruiser "bakkies", whatever they are!

WHAT'S ON THIS PAGE
There must be companies building demountable campers in many other countries but, with only a couple of exceptions, all I've managed to find are links to manufacturers in Australia where, as you'll see, climate and vehicle preferences have a strong influence on the interpretation of the demountable concept.
I try to check these links on a fairly regular basis but if you find dud links here please let me know.![]()
