"From Big RVs to Custom Trailers: Jamin's Journey to Kingdom Camping"
Manage episode 394758470 series 3470568
Hey everyone, it's Lee here from the Overland Radio Show, and I just wrapped up an incredible episode with Jamin from Kingdom Camping. We had a blast discussing his journey from working in the traditional RV industry to starting his own company focused on creating off-grid, overland-ready trailers.
Jamin shared his personal story, which began with a cross-country trip and a desire for a camper that could handle his own off-road adventures. This led to the birth of Kingdom Camping, where he now designs and builds trailers tailored to the overlanding community's needs.
We talked about the various models Kingdom Camping offers, from the compact and versatile Adventure Pro Mini 2.0 to the gear-hauling Base-X, and the midsize ATS which is currently being redesigned. Jamin emphasized the importance of quality and customization, explaining how they use materials like Asdale and Bicom plastics to ensure durability and longevity.
Jamin also gave us a sneak peek into what's coming down the pipeline, including a redesign of the ATS to match the popular Caravan XL profile and an exciting venture into expedition trucks. He's focused on creating an affordable yet fully-featured option for those looking to tackle long-distance overland trips.
Throughout the episode, we discussed the importance of community feedback in shaping their products and how Kingdom Camping is open to customizing trailers to fit individual needs. Jamin also mentioned their plans to hit all the Overland Expos next year, so keep an eye out for them.
For those interested in Kingdom Camping's offerings, Jamin mentioned a lead time of about 10-12 weeks for a build, though they're currently booked through May due to high demand. He also shared that they're expanding their production plant to keep up with orders.
It was a pleasure having Jamin on the show, and I'm excited to see Kingdom Camping at the upcoming More Expo. If you're in the market for a high-quality, overland trailer, or just want to follow their journey, check them out on Instagram, YouTube, and Facebook.
