Pukekohe firm TrailLite Campers is turning 70.
They sell $57 million of campervans (and some caravans) a year and its origins trace back to two cabinetmakers, Brian Penman and Jim Crotty who made furniture and caskets.
In the mid-1950s they made their first caravan which carried the TrailLite name and that’s stuck ever since.
The luxury motorhomes can sell for $460,000 - half the average house price in New Zealand - so the finished product has to be just right.
Joint managing director Shaun Newman joined Simon Barnett and James Daniels for a chat.
