Verve - What it means to us

The Pioneer Verve is the culmination of the Pioneer Campers’ journey over the last 25 years. The story starts in 1997 in Perth with the design of a light weight flip-over camper. This design was refined over time and took a strong market position in 2012 with its full sheet-metal construction.

Sensing a shift in the market, the Pioneer team began developing the Mitchell (2015), a hybrid super camper, beginning the journey towards a Hybrid Caravan. The Mitchell was awarded Camper Trailer of the Year in 2017 and developed a strong and loyal following. In 2020, Pioneer Campers was purchased by TRACK (Trailer) with the intention of continuing the Pioneer Camper evolution.

The TRACK team of engineers worked tirelessly throughout the COVID shut downs to capture and transform the essence and spirit of the Pioneer Camper into the Hybrid Caravan now known as the Pioneer Verve. The namesake, Verve, meaning vigour, spirit and/or enthusiasm.

The Pioneer Verve has all the rich history and pedigree of the previous Pioneers. Look at the lines, colours and iconic wheel arch flares. Stand back and admire the strong, but lightweight, insulated sheet metal body. Admire the underpinnings of the custom Trak-Two independent trailing arm coil suspension with twin shocks.

There’s so much to love about this truly unique Hybrid Camper.
