I buy their products if I like them , I am on my third ARB bull bar and selected them purely because I liked them best but would have no qualms buying another brand if I liked it better
Quality has been fantastic and have stood up to a lot of abuse

You can bag them for having some product made offshore but still don’t they make more here than any of their competitors?
 
I’ve been reading the comments, and whilst there is truth in many of the statements made, we in this country seem to bag new products out there, I have had a look at the video and there is a lot of thought in the camper and would suit a lot of peoples needs and is reasonably priced, it’s better that relying on Chinese imports all the time, we should applaud companies like ARB, else this country would only have fully imported products, let’s have a positive attitude more towards our own engineered products.

This is so spot on and while I’m generally not an arb fan they certainly can and do make some great products. I think I’m on my 3rd compressor now and if I’m silly enough to cheap out and not get an arb next time I’ll deserve it when the cheapo I get instead catches fire and burns off an eyebrow.

You want to get behind Australian campers go to patriot mate

They solely make these trailers in Australia, ARB are mainly over seas and certainly took the piss with job keeper that’s your money and myn

Happy to pay higher prices but some of there gear is way over priced for the quality BP51s are a prime example the looks and marketing VS performance in my opinion leaves a lot to be desired

Worse IP theft than a Chinese camper. I wouldn’t be proud to hang an Australian flag on one.

It's a cunning strategy to appear to make stuff here, charge as if it's made here, but make most of it overseas where wages and rent are way lower. Good businessman 101. I think that Kings are being more honest about it all. Getting manufacturing done in 3rd world economies is like giving foreign aid. The people get jobs, their standard of living rises, their technological expertise increases, and we get cheaper prices. Eventually there won't be any more 3rd world economies to "help".

Companies will always have a market for the gullible who think they are getting a bargain or believe they can't live without the latest overpriced item. More money than grey matter.

They have their compressor mounted on the camper but they don’t have air bag suspension, owning a camper with Air bag suspension it really seems like a necessity.

I am sure people get by with chocks and ramps ect but being able to adjust the heights for a switch is certainly user friendly

We have air bag suspension on our van, it is mint in every respect, pulling up at camp and adjusting the van to get it level takes a few seconds, an overnight stop leaving it hooked up takes a few more seconds to adjust the car to get it level end to end.
