Who we are

The faces behind the names

 

Points of interest:
The term "Carrying Weight" is different to "Cargo Capacity"

When it comes to how much stuff you can take away on holiday the confusion between these two terms can make up to a 250kg difference.

About Us

In the Beginning:

Our venture into fifth wheelers began in the mid 1980's when we purchased our first fifth wheel in the USA and spent a year travelling.  Since then we have travelled extensively in the USA, Australia and New Zealand racking up thousands of miles behind the wheel (last count 160,000+ km's)

Why Hodge RV?

Hodge RV is a family business. We initially began our business by approaching an American manufacturer to make light weight units with Australian wiring and with doors on the correct (left) side. After gaining alot of knowledge and experience we began manufacturing our own models that are specifically suited to NZ and Australia.

Where we're going:

We began by supplying the NZ market with the view of exporting to Australia. We now have established ourselves within the Australian market with our fifth wheelers cruising around all areas of the continent. People appreciate the superior quality product we offer and our tasteful interiors. The ability to tow with a Japanese ute, without compromising on space and cargo capacity has put us ahead of the competition.
