Australian off-road specialist ARB has launched its Earth Camper trailer in the US market through distributor Xgrid Campers, with deliveries expected in late 2025 or early 2026. The trailer features a welded exoskeleton, independent suspension with 35-inch trailing arms, and a 31-inch Maxxis Razr tire setup. The US-spec model includes a 96-L dual-zone fridge, a 100-Ah lithium battery with a 120-W solar panel (upgradeable to 300 Ah), and a standard roof-mounted air conditioner. The rear hatch deploys electrically to create a hard-floored auxiliary tent area, while the outdoor kitchen uses a single-direction slide-out with a 92-cm worktop and dual-burner stove. The base price is $60,900 for a two-person configuration.

Operator TT-Line is only selling tickets up to the capacity of the old ships, limiting availability for cars and caravans.

TT-Line plans to release full capacity after testing and commissioning of the gantry.

Dan notes that each crossing is unique and requires precise calculation.
