Twelve years ago, we bundled our young children into our Land Rover Defender and set off to explore the planet. Now, the children are both young adults, and we have finally come to the stage in our life which we have been anticipating since the very beginning – our wonderful kids are leaving the roving […]

Since taking the wheel of Proto, one of the first full production Nimbl campers, back in December 2021, my family has been on the move across a variety of terrain and through extremes of climate. The verdict? This vehicle is a game changer! Those of you who know a bit about my family will know […]
(This article was originally published in Truckcamperadventure.com on May 27th) When it comes to RV shows and truck campers, nothing beats the Overland Expo West in Flagstaff.

Allow me to introduce myself and my family. We were born in Africa and together have spent the last 13 years chasing incredible experiences and adventure across five continents. We have traveled overland from Cape Town to Kilimanjaro, circumnavigated South America, completed the Pan -Am journey from Argentina to Alaska before exploring Europe to Asia […]
Nimbl Campers was born out of the remnants of XP Campers which was sold at auction in August 2019. Jon Turner, Judd Newman, and investors saw an opportunity and invested in a business that they rightly believed had incredible potential. Currently, the company’s order book is full, and plans are afoot to expand production by […]
The Donner Pass has a formidable reputation, and this festive winter found a South African family driving a marvelous vehicle over record depths of ice and snow—white-knuckled. Us Southern Hemisphere people know as much about snow as you might about sangomas and umqombothi, and to be perfectly honest, we avoid the white stuff as we travel the world. […]
2021 was a year of unprecedented trials and milestones from COVID regulations to economic shifts to supply chain challenges. Despite all of that, there was one thing that remained untouched: the value of independence, autonomy, and connection:• Independence in doing what we love to do in life when we want to do it,• Autonomy so […]
In celebration of the birth of our country, we put together a short video to commemorate our independence as a country, as individuals, and as a company. This spirit of independence is right there in our slogan, Freedom to Roam. And given Nimbl is a Service Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business whose owners have served […]
“Their customer service sucks” is a comment we hear quite often from owners of expedition vehicles who need something done, whether a retrofit, or an upgrade or just some maintenance.

Finding Eden The coffee is good, inevitably enhanced by our location. A small finca deep in the Santa Marta hills with a slatted viewing platform overlooking a town called Minca. The building guards a lush coffee plantation and is encrusted with flaking layers white paint; the doors and window frames a ubiquitous blue, yellow and […]

La Guajira region. A true no man’s land at the peak of South America. Ignored by the Spanish invaders and current governments of both Colombia and neighboring Venezuela
What most U.S. Overlanders Think We Do. I love the American South West. The deserts, the trails. The muted tones of which fill our windscreen as our tires crunch to a halt; gripping a mix of sand, gravel and dust which kick up into an open window I fail to shut in time. Basil Lynch […]
With so much technical emphasis at shows and on forums, it’s hard to choose the perfect camper. Here’s how. Lance Armstrong’s fall from grace is an indisputable tale of hero to zero; one of sports greatest icons. Sure, it was a reputation built on a greater amount of chemical assistance than was legally allowed but, […]

A desk. A cheap swivel chair. The usual stationary clutter and a wall with some storage shelves that framed an ageing iMac. I had just finished seeing a patient in a consulting room and had returned to process the notes that form a mix of patient history and protection against liability. Given the stunning location […]
At its core, the recreational vehicle is about freedom. Freedom to travel (and rest) at your own pace, freedom to be self-sufficient, freedom to explore independently. There’s just one problem: standard RVs aren’t freeing. In fact, the modern American RV is quite the opposite. Now, they are constrained to asphalt highways, RV parks, mass-produced prices, […]
