It allows them to escape the confines of their medical challenges and embrace the outdoors. The transformative power of adventure cannot be underestimated. It allows children to connect with nature, engage in new experiences, and foster a renewed sense of wonder and excitement.

New Gas Fittings LCC27 New LPG Gas Bottle Fittings have arrived Here’s what you need to know. The New LCC27 LPG Gas Cylinder Fittings for Australia Here’s a quick video from Platinum Campers explaining everything you need to know about the new gas fittings. LCC27 fittings have improved safety features LPG cylinders will be coming out soon with a new fitting called a LCC27. There’s a good chance that your current gas bottles use a Type 21 or POL connection. LCC27 fittings offer improved safety features, including an easy-to-use right-hand threaded external ACME connection, and a back check valve that must be engaged before gas can flow. In addition, there is a thermal cut-out on the LCC27 appliance connection. What you Need to know about the new Gas Fittings Do I need an Adaptor? The new gas regulations state that you cannot use an adaptor with the new LCC27 gas fittings. However – the new bottles are backwards compatible to appliances with POL connections – so you won’t need an adaptor anyway. You will not need to change anything to use the new gas bottles with your current appliances (Your BBQ will still work!) However – New appliances, like camper trailers from now will have the new LCC27 gas connection. And these are not backwards compatible with your old gas bottles. So, if purchasing a gas appliances (including camper trailers) from now, you will need to get the new bottle. POL connection phasing out Over the next 10 years, the LCC27 will take over from the POL Connection across the board. Leisure gas cylinders have a 10 year test cycle, so by 2031 – you will find the LCC27 is the main bottle in use. Still safe to use? Yes, your current gas appliances with a POL connection are still safe and reliable for use, and will still plug into the new bottles. So on your next swap – look out for the new bottle and get yourself future proofed! Read More
Where are Platinum Camper Trailers Made?
Where are Platinum Camper Trailers Made? Learn about how Platinum Camper Trailers are manufactured and our quality control processes Where are Platinum Campers Manufactured? Platinum Campers uses a hybrid build process beginning in our China manufacturing plant and is fitted-out, gas plumbed, and completed at our Brisbane workshop. In China, they manufacture our bodies and tent tops; these are then shipped to the Brisbane branch for its final fit-out. This process allows us to maintain a very high quality control system, ensuring our campers meet and exceed customer expectations, while still remaining affordable when compared to a fully Australian made camper. Should you be wary about Chinese manufactured campers? While in the past, when the camper trailer industry was in its infancy in Australia – there were some cowboys in the industry. Some Chinese manufactured campers were so poorly manufactured they fell apart on their maiden voyage. However, this is no longer the case. With overwhelming investment, research, and design by larger importers, like Platinum Campers. Campers made in China are now competing with the quality of their Australian made counterparts. Through testing, revisions, customer feedback, and with Platinum’s hybrid manufacturing model completing the Campers in Brisbane – Australian’s can purchase affordable, quality, well-spec’ed camper trailers with great after-sales service and support that should make your feel more than comfortable when purchasing a camper from Platinum. Don’t all Chinese-made canvas leak? This is simply not the case anymore. Almost all canvas materials used in Australia for use in camper trailers, swags, tents, and even most military equipment are made in China. Like all fabric materials, there are different grades and qualities available to us. A lot of our competitors choose to use a 14oz canvas, Platinum uses a 16oz canvas with good tight weaves. After your purchase, you need to give your tent a season by simply wetting it and letting it dry out in the sun. For more tips on how to care for your canvas tent check out our guide on how to extend the life of your tent. Don’t they all come out of the same factory? Yes and no. Some importers do just pick a camper out of a catalog, add their branding, and have a completed camper shipped over. We do not do this. Platinum Campers have our own factory within China, our own trained staff, and quality control mechanisms, allowing us to build customised trailers just for us. The Chariot hard floor, a double fold camper trailer is a great example of our capabilities and unique engineering with a camper with three rooms, and with the back folding all the way to the ground – a true six berth hard floor! Plus, with the added step of having our team in Brisbane Australia inspect every nut & bolt on our campers – you can rest soundly knowing your camper is built to a very high standard and has the warranty to back it up! With 5-year structural, 2-year canvas, and 1 year on the fittings. What’s the Platinum Build Process? Here’s the Platinum Campers Build Process from start to Delivery 1) Camper design and Engineering Design and engineering is completed in-house by our team of camping experts. This is then sent to our team in China. 2) Bodies, Drawbars & Tents manufactured This takes place at our factory in China and is quality checked by the Quality assurance team. 3) Shipment to Brisbane The bodies, drawbars, and tents are then sent to Brisbane – for most models, we can fit about 10 campers into a container. 4) Arrival into our Brisbane Showroom The campers are unloaded from the containers, and we then create our build schedule based on the order in which purchases were received. 5) Inspection & Assembly The first step is a thorough inspection checklist where everything is checked over, down to every nut and bolt. Next, drawbars are attached, followed by hubs & wheels, then finally the tent tops. 6) Gas Plumbing & Electrical Fitout Our campers are then gas plumbed by a local installer to Australian standards. The 12v power system is then installed – and if any optional extras are required like 240V GPO, this is completed by a licenced electrician. 7) Final Pre-Delivery Final pre-delivery involved another thorough checklist. We print your manuals, check your keys and remote controls, tire pressures are checked, poles are inspected, the canvas is checked etc. Any additional optional extras are added here – and of course – a good clean! 8) Hand-over & Delivery As all our campers come through Brisbane to be built. A lot of the campers will then require transport. We send campers all over the country, to our dealers in Rockhampton, Townsville and Perth – And also direct to consumers. If handover is not done in person – we can offer virtual handovers Next Steps?
