About Us
We are a team of passionate outdoor enthusiasts, with diverse backgrounds—engineering, automotive, design, and software—who share a common goal: to make motorhomes that solve problems, not create them. We’re passionate about creating experiences where the freedom of the open road comes hand-in-hand with exceptional comfort, thoughtful functionality, and head-turning style.
Our Values
We are committed to building motorhomes that are:
User-focused
We are laser-focused on the needs of the user(s) of the particular motorhome model. Every HIP Camper is designed with this in mind.
Innovative
We are always looking for new ways to improve the design and ease-of-use of our motorhomes to meet the modern needs of the motorhome user(s).
Beautiful
We believe functionality and style should go hand in hand. Our motorhomes are aesthetically pleasing both inside and out.
High Quality
Only the highest quality materials and components make it into our builds.
We are just getting started, but we are excited to change the way people think about motorhomes. We believe that HIP Campers is the future of camping, and we are committed to making it happen.
Our Goal
Our goal is to bring constant innovation to the motorhome industry and to become synonymous with innovation. We believe that innovation is the key to making camping more accessible, enjoyable, and sustainable.
Our Promise
We will offer only a few models, which are focused on the needs of the people who will be using the motorhome (family, couples, etc.).
Innovations will be constantly added to our motorhomes, as fast as possible. When possible, all new features and innovations will be retrofittable (i.e., they will be able to be installed on older models).
Selected new features or products will be available for purchase by other manufacturers for integrating into their motorhome lineups. This will allow all users to take advantage of the new HIP Campers products.
All HIP Campers will be well documented and serviceable (wink, wink, DIYers!).
We invite you to join us on our journey to change the motorhome industry.
