[ Manufacturer ] Custom Campers

Whether you’re on the lookout for a custom-made motorhome built on a ten-ton truck, or a camper for a surf safari, look no further than Fred Oosthuizen’s Custom Campers in Meyerton.

Through the caravanning grapevine I had heard about “this guy in Gauteng… you have to see one of his motorhomes to believe it”. Luckily I was recently up in Gauteng, so decided to pay a visit to the Custom Campers factory in Galloway Street. I followed up the tour by visiting two of his customers, but more about that later.

Custom Campers consists of Fred Oosthuizen, his wife Corné and a small team of highly-experienced craftsmen. This is very much a family business, with each member of the team providing their own expertise. In fact, the whole factory has a “family feel”.

Fred has been building caravans, campers and motorhomes for the last nine years. He and his wife started Custom Campers some four years ago, opening the factory in a large building in Meyerton. Fred says: “I reckon we produce the best and most exquisite campers and motorhomes in the country.”
