Trends In New Camper, Gear, and Innovation
2019 was not a prolific new model year for the truck camper industry with just seven new models introduced. That’s down from ten new models last year. Evidently, the dreaded new model drought of 2016 and 2017 is back. Thankfully, we know of at least two new model announcements primed for early 2020 and we’re hoping for a baker’s dozen by this time next year. Come on industry!
The trend in new camper announcements is toward the lighter-weight side of the marketplace. Palomino, Four Wheel Campers, Cirrus and Northstar all brought new campers pushing the weight targets lower in their respective categories.
Gear announcements this year were absolutely dominated by Torklift International with five new truck camper-related products for 2019. Foiling Torklift’s shoe-in victory, Rieco-Titan launched their new Atwood Replacement Kit solution in mid-October. The trends in truck camper gear revolve around enhancements and new applications to existing products.
In addition to making the new gear nominee list, Torklift’s GlowStep Revolution Uprising also made the Innovation list – but it’s not alone. In the innovation category, we have five nominated companies with 12 innovations. This does not beat last year’s record (15) but is a very strong showing none the less.
The trends in the innovation category are hard to spot with a wide variety of material, appliance, feature and design concepts. This is exactly what you hope to see as companies innovate in different directions and ultimately influence new directions in the truck camper marketplace.
