Originally from Germany, Ronny Probandt has taken his love of cutting edge design and the highest quality workmanship and coupled it with his passion for campervan travel.
Ronny and his partner Tania Differding have spent years taking their campervans on numerous ‘test drives’ and are continually upgrading features and design to make Achtung Camper campervans the most innovative, durable and stylish campervans on the market.
Ronny and Tania met in 2004 in Torquay, Victoria and two weeks later set off on a year-long trip around the border of Australia in a 1983 Toyota Tarago complete with curtains made from bed sheets and a cheap esky filled with ice. This was the beginning of their obsession with campervan travel and the freedom that owning a campervan brings. It was only a matter of time before Ronny put his design and building background to use building his own modern campervan for personal use.
Today, not much has changed, they still make sure they take each new demo campervan they produce for at least one long ‘test drive’ – trying out new features and thinking up future innovations to make life on the road easier than ever. Their latest innovation ideas from their most recent trip to North Stradbroke Island? A hidden trash bin inside the campervan and an outdoor light attached to the campervan.
From (not so) humble beginnings working on high end design and building projects in Germany, Sydney and Melbourne, Achtung Camper was born after we noticed a lack of modern, high quality campervans in Australia.
And so the first Australian designer campervan was born utilising the best quality materials we could get our hands on, Dinosaur Designs accessories and hardwearing film faced plywood available in over 10 colours.
Suit your style with a campervan conversion and choose your own colour scheme, material and much more. Think of the possibilities!
