Stockman Products

Stockman Products is a pioneering Australian manufacturer that created the world's first plastic-tub pod trailer in 2006, winning an Australian plastics industry award at launch. Founded by industrial designer Phil Savory — whose prior work includes the Fisher & Paykel SmartDrive washing machine — the company builds its full range at its Carrum Downs, Victoria factory, with over 4,000 units produced. The lineup spans from the entry-level $6,495 Pod Trailer through to the flagship Trekka 01 camper at $129,990, all built around Stockman's signature UV-stable polyethylene tubs on galvanised Australian-made chassis.

Owner Sentiment
