There comes a time when we all need to escape the mundane and find some freedom. Australia is a vast continent full of excitement, so when that time arrives, you can make it all the better by towing a comfortable and trustworthy companion such as the Altitude Alpine 14-00 Hybrid camper trailer.

Altitude Campers has always been at the forefront of innovative, state-of-the-art design and construction, and they have again put their right foot forward with the beautiful new Alpine 1400 Hybrid. It is the most compact hybrid in the Altitude range of single—and dual-axle hybrid/camper/caravans. It provides a comprehensive mobile base for solo travellers and couples looking for total freedom, but with rugged ability and plenty of essential components and creature comforts.

The Alpine 1400 is capable of exceptional off-road and indeed off-grid performance, combining Altitude's premium manufacturing, high-quality composite construction, select componentry, and delightful ergonomics. Altitude quotes, "the ALPINE-14 delivers big features in a nimble package built to go further, stay longer, and make every trip unforgettable."

With effortless set-up, maximised security, easy towing, a full ensuite, and a premium external kitchen, this 14-foot hybrid is ideal for extended touring, including serious sojourns "off the beaten track!"

Seriously, who wants to spend extended, strenuous hours setting up and packing a complex camper trailer after a lengthy spell on the road? Conversely, who wants to struggle towing huge caravans and end up in over-populated campsites and holiday parks when the Alpine 14-00 will give you on and off-road performance to find that perfect campsite, plus comfort and instantaneous accessibility.

Altitude manufactures a full range of touring options should you need to accommodate the kids, relatives, and friends, but that is not the primary purpose of the Alpine 14-00. Its design brief is to comfortably appeal to a touring couple who demand premium quality and team it with tons of storage and the privacy of an internal ensuite.

Rugged Foundations for Real Adventures

You can always expect a strong foundation from Altitude

The chassis is the foundation of any great construction. Recognising this, the Alpine 14-00 has a robust 150 x 50 x 3mm box-section galvanised frame and A-frame drawbar that is set for any challenge, including the thousands of kilometres of bulldust, potholes and corrugations found on most Aussie adventures.

Carrying the load admirably is the unquestionable superiority of Cruisemaster XTX independent trailing arm suspension featuring dual shock absorbers plus camber and toe-in adjustment. There are 12" electric brakes, dependable Yokahama AT tyres, strong and attractive black alloy mag wheels designed to provide elevated ground clearance and recovery angle for when the going gets rough.

Other trailer components include:

  • 4 x wind-down stabilisers

  • fully engineered recovery points

  • accessory mounting cleat

  • ARK adjustable and swing-away jockey wheel

  • Vehicle Components DO35 off-road coupling

  • Anderson plug connection

  • premium LED lighting

The strong foundation allows you to carry plenty of payload, and caters for it with a wide variety of external and internal storage options. There's a spare wheel mounted to the rear, and a further mounting point for another, or maybe a bike or other accessory rack. Underneath the trailer is a fully shrouded 140-litre water tank, with an option for yet another allowing a whopping 280-litre capacity and keeping the centre of balance down low for greater stability.

Effortless Setup, Instant Comfort

Once you have arrived the complete set-up is quick, easy and convenient

Knowing that you only have a minimal set-up period when you arrive at your destination is a mind-settling relief, whether you are travelling a long, dirty road, black top, mountain climb or those horrid corrugations. The added advantage is having easy access to the entire unit for a lunch break, and perhaps even an overnighter. Just release the locking clamps and press the optional automated roof lift button to simplify life. I love having a strong, single-section roof as it always gives a greater feeling of protection and security, added insulation, and weather protection. Soft, flexible sides provide terrific ventilation, fly/midge screens, and awnings. Should you want some added shade, winding out the full-length awning only takes seconds.

Many competitors fit folding staircases, but I have found that they are the first thing to be destroyed off-road, or even copping a sand blast and rock damage on secondary roads. The stainless steel kitchen and fridge slide out easily with an 85-litre Evacool dual door fridge/freezer being part of the recommended package.

Pull out your camp chair, grab a refreshment, and you'll be camping in comfort in less than three minutes!

Built for Bush Cooking and Clean Setups

Prepare, store, cook or serve a family meal on this well designed and very popular kitchen

The innovative kitchen is an absolute ripper! I love how it has been designed to pull out and then pivot 90 degrees so it is fastened securely parallel to the van body. There's a Smev 3-burner stove with a handy wok burner, s/s sink with hot/cold water, bench space, utility draws and a pull-out pantry.

With the Alpine's attention to dust and water sealing with quality compression rubber and locks, you won't have to worry about all that bulldust getting into the nooks and crannies. I would, however, carry a portable table for a little bit of extra preparation space, or indeed somewhere to put your drink and nibbles while you're enjoying the destination. Note - there is a very nice, fully upholstered convertible dinette inside for less favourable weather conditions, but I'm a fresh air person myself!

The toolbox has supports for a pair of jerry cans and gas bottles

There's a large "toolbox" on the drawbar where you find the optional diesel hot water system, twin jerry can storage and 4.5kg gas bottle brackets. This large aluminium toolbox has three strong compression locks with automotive seals, the ease and security of a gas strut for opening, and a tough Rhinocoat-style finish for protection.

The Cruiser's windows are a notable feature, with large, tinted "Euro-style" windows on either side. Each has sliding internal flyscreens and block-out awning options. I love waking to a picturesque view from my bedside!

On the driver's side, you'll find a large storage compartment in the front and an electronics cabinet housing 2 x 120W AGM batteries, 240V switchgear with twin outlets and a water tank indicator. The 12V circuits are controlled by a Redarc 1230S2 BMS conveniently mounted in the internal wardrobe. The electronic combination includes a Fusion Bluetooth headset and toggle switches for lighting and power options. There are two 150W solar panels mounted on the roof, providing reliable and efficient power for your camping needs.

All the Comforts of Home On the Road

Altitude provides the summit of human comfort features in the Alpine 14-00

You will find a wonderful feeling of comfort when you step inside the Alpine 14-00. It's very homely but functional and comfortable. It has a spacious feel, combining innovative design with light trim, big windows, a combination of light grey and white gloss panels, faux upholstery on the dinette/settee, and a timber-look laminate floor.

As you step inside the camper through the security-style door, you'll immediately notice a multi-function area featuring spacious storage in a vanity-style bench with a sink, hot and cold mixer, and ample indoor stove or coffee maker bench space. There are seven large drawers and overhead cabinets, terrific lighting, and more speakers for the sound system. However, I would fit a mirror to the splashback to keep the world happy.

Importantly, I was pleased to find the Alpine has a place for everything.

The bathroom is a highlight, fitting neatly into the back corner and presenting a surprisingly roomy interior, even for larger fellas like me. There's a wide shower rose with a detachable head and a cassette-style toilet with excellent ventilation thanks to the soft sides and windows. In front of the bathroom, you'll find a narrow upright cabinet perfect for "pigeonhole" type storage, or a narrow wardrobe. While it may restrict movement slightly, its purpose outweighs any minor access difficulties.

The Altitude Alpine 14-00 has all the comforts of home

The camper's interior is designed for comfort, with thickly upholstered cushions on the dinette, a Queen-size inner spring mattress with ample storage space on either side, individual reading lights, and a 12V fan for added comfort. The camper's interior layout and features make it an ideal space for relaxation and rejuvenation after a long day on the road or perhaps loads of fun and adventure at your dream campsite.

If you need that little bit extra ventilation, there's a 12-volt fan. Did I mention that there are even more storage drawers under the seats and a huge cavity under the bed?

Lightweight Build, Heavyweight Performance

The main body of the Alpine is fashioned from composite fibreglass panel with gloss internal and external surfaces sandwiching effective insulation. It's strong, lightweight, easy to clean, provides terrific climate control and looks terrific!

Weights and Measures

The Altitude Alpine 14-00 hybrid is a compact yet accommodating unit that offers ease of use and overall comfort without excessive towing weight. Its actual weights are Tare 1750kg, and ATM 2600kg, so there's plenty of payload capability for food, fuel and water, as well as plenty of toys and accessories.

At this size and weight, the Alpine 14-00 is suitable for towing with mid to large 4WDs, and its aerodynamic design and pop-up roof will help achieve reasonable towing economy.

After putting it through its paces, I'd be happy to have the Altitude Alpine 14-00 as a travelling companion on long-distance adventures. They are achieving grand new heights at Altitude Campers!
