Why MDCUSA Is One Of The Biggest Off-Road Trailer Brands In The World

When it comes to off-road travel and overlanding, MDCUSA know a thing or two about designing trailers that can withstand the toughest terrains. One thing we love about MDC Campers is their storied history delivering over 40,000 trailers in their 20 years of business into the Australian market. That’s a lot of owners, and a lot of feedback! The Australian outback is one of the harshest environments in the world, with rugged landscapes, unpredictable weather, and miles of remote, isolated wilderness. For over a decade, MDC in Australia have been leading the way in hybrid pop top camper and caravan innovation, ensuring that adventurers can “Escape with Confidence” wherever your travels take you.

Built for the Toughest Terrain

In Australia, MDC have been pioneers in the development and evolution of off-road trailer design. From folding tent trailers in 2007 to launching their first off-road, pop top trailer in 2013. Since 2013, MDC has been at the forefront of off-road caravan evolution, pushing the boundaries of durability, functionality, and comfort and testing in field to ensure each model is built to withstand customer demands. Designed and tested in some of the most challenging environments, MDC hybrids are built to handle corrugated roads, deep river crossings, and remote off-grid adventures. Design features such as dual shock, independent suspension systems, triple sealed door openings to prevent water and dust ingress and quality manufacturing are all features included as standard to ensure your trailer is built to last.

Our commitment to quality and innovation means that every MDC camper is designed with the end user in mind. The recently launched MDC USA Off-grid Extreme trailers are no exception and even take it one step further by including a Cold Weather Pack as standard. Check out the brand new range at here at ROA OFF-ROAD.

Tried and Tested in the Harshest Conditions
Before an MDC hybrid trailer model reaches our customers, the design undergoes rigorous testing to ensure it meets our high standards. Our campers have been tested in Australia’s harshest conditions. The Simpson Desert, Cape York, and the Kimberley are extremely remote locations and require travellers to be 100% self sufficient. Customers want to be able to trust their trailer to get them to their destination and back. With over 40,000 trailers sold in Australia, our customers are testament to the trust we have developed in Australia.
