The All-New Bush Cabin Camper
Born from an exclusive collaboration between two of South Africa’s most respected overland brands, the Bush Cabin Camper redefines design, comfort, and quality. While other campers of this type exist, the Bush Cabin sets an entirely new benchmark.
Bushtech Aluminium Canopies – Renowned as the strongest, lightest, and most dust-proof canopies available. Built to be at least 50% stronger than the nearest competitors, yet hand finished with premium attention to detail that sets them apart.
EEZI-AWN – A globally proven name with over 42 years of expertise in expedition-grade roof tents and awnings. Trusted worldwide for their comfort, durability, and reliability.
Together, these two Johannesburg-based innovators have created a camper system that combines unmatched strength and premium comfort—introducing a new benchmark in the world of expedition campers.
How Is a Camper Different from a Canopy + Roof Tent?
The Bush Cabin is designed to go beyond the “live-around” style of a canopy + roof tent, stepping into true ‘live-in’ comfort.
Rear Access – No Ladder Needed: Enter and exit under the cover of a premium 270° awning. Add a wall kit for a fully private, enclosed space.
Convertible Interior Space: When not sleeping, the mattress base folds up into the tent shell, creating massive interior standing height (taller than you can reach).
Customisable Layout: Choose storage-heavy or living-space-focused setups, with both factory and custom options available.
Premium Thermal Insulation: NZ-spec Bush Cabins come fully insulated as standard—not just the tent section like others, but also the interior of the aluminium cabin. This upgraded thick foam insulation is unique in the market and delivers true 4-season comfort.
Fully Off-Road Capable
Unlike bulky slide-on ute campers, the Bush Cabin is designed to maintain your 4WD’s full off-road capability. Compact when closed, lightweight, and with carefully distributed loads, it goes wherever your vehicle does — without compromise.
✨ The Bush Cabin is the most premium solution available today — combining sleek design, superior fit and finish, and next-level specifications unmatched in this category.
What Sets The Bush Cabin Apart?
Intended as the most premium camper of its kind, the Bush Cabin outperforms others in these key areas:
1. Best-in-Class Mattress - Unrivalled Comfort
The Bush Cabin features the most premium mattress on market. While EEZI-AWN roof tent mattresses are already regarded among the finest worldwide, the Bush Cabin goes further — with a 100mm thick, multi-density, SABS-approved mattress (compared to the 70mm commonly found elsewhere). It's built for the highest standard of comfort.
2. Superior Quality of Construction and Premium Finish
Close a Bush Cabin (or Bushtech aluminium canopy) side door from one edge, and you’ll notice the difference instantly. Unlike others, Bushtech’s fully braced, internally framed doors show virtually no flex under pressure. The result is superior door rigidity, unrivalled dustproofing, and a cabin that’s more secure.
Bushtech’s reputation for superior aluminium canopy engineering carries directly into the Bush Cabin. Where others cut corners by applying powder coat over unfinished welds, every Bush Cabin is meticulously hand-finished before coating. And it’s not just any finish — only premium powder coats are used, delivering an aesthetic that stands out the moment you see it in person.
3. Premium Thermal Insulation
Unlike campers that insulate only the tent area, NZ-spec Bush Cabins come standard with additional foam insulation throughout the cabin itself. This upgrade delivers genuine 4-season performance and comfort.4. Rear Integrated Window: A standard feature on every Bush Cabin
