The challenge
When designing the Flagship LT camper, the team encountered a significant challenge. The slide-in truck camper industry had long relied on manual lift systems for raising the roof. However, this solution proved to be cumbersome and limited the accessibility of truck campers to a broader audience. Recognising the need for change, Supertramp set out to find a more efficient and user-friendly alternative.
In their quest for a solution, Supertramp turned to the power of the internet. A simple Google search led them to LINAK®, renowned for their robust and durable electric linear actuators. Recognising the LINAK reputation for quality and reliability, Supertramp knew they had found the right partner for their camper project.
The solution
In 2018, Supertramp embarked on a collaborative journey to select the ideal electric linear actuators for their camper design, working closely with the engineering team at LINAK. With expertise and guidance from LINAK, Supertramp Campers was able to choose actuators that met their specific requirements, ensuring optimal performance and safety for their customers.
The solution incorporated four LA36 actuators, a robust and reliable solution designed to withstand extreme conditions. The actuators run in parallel to raise and lower the camper, providing a stable lift and a distribution of force.
Thanks to the user-friendly design of LINAK actuators and the availability of technical support, the installation was seamless and hassle-free. Within no time, the Flagship LT camper was equipped with state-of-the-art electric linear actuators, ready to revolutionise the camping experience for outdoor enthusiasts.
The outcome
Since implementing LINAK actuators into their camper design in 2021, Supertramp has experienced unparalleled performance. Customers have enjoyed reliable and efficient operation, enhancing their overall camping experience. The quick and effortless roof lifting capability has become a favorite feature among users, making setup and teardown a breese.
With the Flagship LT camper being a success, Supertramp is currently designing the next unit which will also incorporate LINAK actuators. With LINAK as their trusted partner, Supertramp Campers looks forward to continuing to innovate and elevate the camper industry.
