RIGVAR

VEHICLE ADVENTURE SYSTEMS

Shelter. Sleep. Explore.

RIGVAR brings vehicle awnings, rooftop sleeping and camp enclosures into one engineered touring system — selected around the vehicle, the rack and the way the trip actually works.

Built around the vehicle

Not another camping catalogue.

Explore four awning geometries, four roof-tent formats and two enclosure systems, alongside the forthcoming Adventure Campers & Caravans range. Choose around your vehicle, travel party and the way you camp.

01Vehicle Awnings

Straight, 180°, 270° and 360° shelter systems built around the vehicle.

02Roof Tents

Lightweight, pop-up, folding-family and configurable touring roof-tent pathways.

03Enclosures

Wall and privacy systems that add protected living and utility around the campsite.

Launch range

Ten systems. Three jobs.

Compare the RIGVAR product families by application, coverage and fitment. Final mounting, accessories and production configuration are confirmed against the selected vehicle before quotation.

RIGVAR · Coming soon

Adventure Campers & Caravans

Shelter. Sleep. Explore.

Plan your next step into vehicle-based travel. Explore six proposed camper formats and tell us how you want to travel. Final models, specifications, market availability and delivery timing are still to be confirmed. Enquiries are open; orders are not yet available.

The RIGVAR approach

Start with the road.
Build the setup around it.

A ute camper, teardrop, hybrid caravan or toy hauler should be chosen around the trip it has to support — not by brochure features alone. RIGVAR starts with the vehicle, the people, the load and the destination, then narrows the format.

Start an early RIGVAR brief
01
VEHICLE

What carries or tows the system, and what limits shape the finished setup.

02
LIVING

Who travels, how they sleep, cook, wash, store gear and use the camp.

03
ROUTE

Where the setup is going, how it will be used and what it needs to carry there.

01Six formats shortlisted

The range is being developed around use cases first, before exact production models are released.

02Early enquiries open

Tell us the vehicle, travel party, destination and intended use so the right format can be assessed.

03Product listings pending

Confirmed model pages will follow only when production specifications, dimensions, weights and imagery are ready.

Range map

Four ways into the RIGVAR camper range.

The first decision is not the model. It is whether the trip is better served by a pickup-mounted camper, compact towable, hybrid caravan or cargo-led adventure format.

01Pop-top · Hard-top

Pickup Campers

Carry the living space on the pickup.

For travellers who want the camper to remain part of the vehicle rather than tow a separate unit.

BRIEF STARTS WITH

Start with payload, tray or tub geometry, mounting and traveller count.

02Two-person teardrops

Compact Towables

Keep the towable footprint focused.

For travellers looking for a compact sleeping-first trailer format without moving into a larger caravan concept.

BRIEF STARTS WITH

Start with tow limits, sleeping priorities, cooking, water and power needs.

03Couples · Family

Hybrid Caravans

Add more living space for longer touring.

For travellers who need a more complete towable living arrangement, with layouts shaped around two-person or family use.

BRIEF STARTS WITH

Start with traveller count, towing limits, bathroom, kitchen and storage requirements.

04Motorcycle toy haulers

Cargo + Adventure

Carry the adventure equipment with the accommodation.

For trips where motorcycles or other substantial adventure cargo need to travel with the living setup.

BRIEF STARTS WITH

Start with cargo dimensions and mass, usable payload, ramp and sleeping requirements.

Which format fits your trip?

Use the trip to narrow the pathway.

This is a planning guide, not a compatibility verdict. Final suitability still depends on the actual vehicle, loaded configuration and destination requirements.

01Pickup Campers

Best starting point when you want the accommodation carried on the pickup.

Vehicle
Pickup / ute with suitable tub or tray pathway
Towing
Prefer not to tow
Travellers
Solo, couple or compact travel party
Cargo
Vehicle-based storage and touring gear
Trip style
Frequent moves, vehicle-led touring
Explore this pathway
02Compact Towables

Best starting point when two-person sleeping and a smaller separate trailer are the priority.

Vehicle
Compatible tow vehicle
Towing
Comfortable towing a compact trailer
Travellers
Usually one or two travellers
Cargo
Lighter touring load and compact camp equipment
Trip style
Weekend trips, shorter stays, simple touring
Explore this pathway
03Hybrid Caravans

Best starting point when the trip needs more enclosed living space and a fuller touring layout.

Vehicle
Tow vehicle matched to the selected configuration
Towing
Comfortable towing a larger touring unit
Travellers
Couple or family pathway
Cargo
More storage, living and service requirements
Trip style
Longer trips and more established camps
Explore this pathway
04Cargo + Adventure

Best starting point when motorcycles or substantial adventure equipment drive the layout.

Vehicle
Tow vehicle matched to finished trailer and cargo
Towing
Towable format required
Travellers
Travel party plus equipment
Cargo
Motorcycles or significant adventure cargo
Trip style
Activity-led trips where transport and accommodation combine
Explore this pathway

Not sure where you fit? Start with the vehicle, traveller count and the gear you need to carry. We can use that brief to narrow the format before a model is selected.

Before model selection

Start with how the complete setup needs to work.

Camper and caravan suitability is more than a floorplan. The vehicle, loaded mass, trip pattern, services and destination all affect the final choice.

Vehicle & towing

Match the camper or caravan format to the vehicle, payload, towing limits, towball limits and the complete loaded setup.

Trip & layout

Define traveller count, sleeping arrangement, trip length, road use, storage, cooking and bathroom priorities before choosing a format.

Systems & fitment

Confirm mounting, water, power, appliance and accessory requirements only against the selected production configuration.

Destination readiness

Check destination-country requirements, local approvals, installation, servicing, parts support and delivery pathway before an order proceeds.

Early range questions

What we can confirm now — and what waits for the production model.

These answers keep the early enquiry useful without treating a shortlisted format as a released product.

01

Can I order a RIGVAR camper or caravan now?

Not yet. The six formats are open for early enquiries while exact production models, specifications, weights, imagery, market suitability and support pathways are being verified.

02

Can you tell me whether a camper will fit my pickup?

An early brief can narrow the pathway, but fitment is not confirmed from vehicle name alone. The exact make, model, year, tray or tub arrangement, payload and mounting interface need to be checked against the selected production camper.

03

How will caravan and camper weights be confirmed?

Published figures will come from the exact selected production configuration. For towables that includes the relevant finished towing and payload data; pickup campers require finished mass, loading and vehicle-compatibility information before release.

04

Can I choose power, water, bathroom and appliance options?

Tell us what the trip needs in the early enquiry. Available systems and options will only be confirmed against the exact production model, destination and supplied configuration.

05

What is the difference between TerraRise and RIGVAR pickup campers?

TerraRise is canopy-first: an aluminium pickup-canopy and storage platform with selected integrated rooftop-camping configurations. RIGVAR's developing pickup-camper pathway is camper-first, centred on dedicated pop-top or hard-top living bodies.

06

Will the range be available internationally?

Destination is part of the qualification process. Market availability, freight, local road-use requirements, electrical or gas considerations, fitment and service arrangements are checked before an order pathway is opened.

Start with the vehicle and the trip.

Include your destination, travel party, tow vehicle or pickup details, expected cargo and preferred sleeping, cooking and bathroom arrangements. Suitability depends on the complete loaded setup.

Supply through Apollo NZ Global.

Apollo supplies the selected product. Vehicle fitment, installation, local approvals and servicing arrangements need to be agreed for your destination before an order can proceed.

01Vehicle

Make, model, year, body style, roof and existing rack / canopy.

02Load

Vehicle and rack static / dynamic limits, plus the complete fitted product mass.

03Camp job

Shade footprint, sleeping capacity, privacy, power and storage requirements.
