These Hybrid Caravans have seemingly a vast number of manufacturers. I have noticed there is now a US importer of these. This is one example is a Tecton Hybrid Caravan

I have seen these at recent Reno RV shows and one local dealer carries them. Good stuff.

These are a start of Australian RV's becoming much more common in the US

Robert, spread the word in Australia -- there is a huge market for small rugged full featured trailers in the US, and few if any US-made models to choose from.

Look how Redarc and ARB have grown in the US

There are plenty of US manufacturers making off-road Teardrops. Off-road full size TTs; not so much, but they can be found.

We noticed a huge uptick in teardrops on the road this year already. Many seem to be built pretty high off the ground. Ours is just the opposite. Sits pretty low. We noticed in the campground last week that a lot have kitchens in the rear of them. Kinda cool.

I think that there is a significant market for small teardrop trailers in the US, including off-road versions, but it may be hard for an Australian company to get much of a foothold, as there are quite a few US manufacturers in that segment; not sure any of the Aussie models are significantly better/different. As for the larger sizes, one of the things I notice on most of the links that RobertRyan has given is that few have indoor kitchens. I don't think there's much of a market for off-road trailers of that size in the US, especially if you still have to cook/etc outside. Might as well go with an off-road teardrop or roof-mount tent setup; same basic facilities with better off-road capabilities. JMHO.

Yes as well as slide out kitchens you can get both. Roof top Campers no, not much enthusiasm for them here. Teardrops again No, smaller Hybrids Caravans better built.
Have noticed at the Overland Expo's in the US condiderable number of Australian companies are showing their products including some Hybrid Camper manufacturers, watching Youtube Overland Expo presentations
