About

Over 3 decades we've learned a few things

About Us - we're here for the long run

Most of our customers keep their Frontline Campervans for a decade or more. Their vehicles become part of the family, the symbol of good times, any time.

And whenever Frontline owners hit the road, they do it in comfort and total confidence. Because Frontline Campervans have led the way in quality, safety and affordability since 1987.

We’ve become an Aussie outdoor tradition, highly regarded in the campervan community, ensuring strong demand if ever you choose to resell your vehicle.

Like you, we don't like to sit still

Over four thousand Frontline campervans have hit the road since Peter Farrugia and Jeffery Verhagen set up the business in the 1980's and a large majority of those vehicles are still touring Australia.

We know this because we still service and repair them – becoming friends with their owners along the way. It’s testimony to the care and craft we put into our work, but we never rest on our laurels – we’re always looking to improve. So take a look at our smart fresh campervan conversion based on the new wide body Toyota Hiace. Or check out innovative options like the All-wheel Drive VW T6 Transporter.

Focused Thinking. Factory Quality Finishes. Smarter Choices.

After three decades in the campervan conversion business we’ve learned what works best. Three new Frontline campers roll out of our factory each week but we only build new VW Transporter and Toyota Hiace van conversions because they’re proved to be the best choice for Australian conditions. This focused approach allows Frontline to invest in the training and tooling needed to create durable, innovative, factory quality campervans. Our expertise, knowledge and skill is second to none.

Why Frontline is the most trusted name in campervans

Ready to drive

All Frontline campervans have Australian Government Department of Infrastructure approved second stage national compliance. Ready for registration in any State or Territory.

Safety

All our campervans are fully tested for safety – all anchorage points have been strength tested to extreme conditions.

Trust

We are trusted experts – both VW and Toyota support our work and readily extend their new vehicle warranty to our converted vans.

Quality Conversions

We only focus on VW T6 Transporter and Toyota Hiace van conversions. So we know the smartest most durable ways to configure and option them inside and out.

Resale

Frontline Campervan resale values are testimony to the proven, trusted, lasting integrity of what we create.

Reliability

Our factory uses the highest quality machine tools on the market – the professional finish of our designs always lasts the distance and can be tailored to you style of camping.

After Sales Care

We’re here today and tomorrow. We will factory service and maintain and repair any Frontline Campervan whatever its age.

Safety

Frontline considers safety very important.

Every new campervan we build has the Australian Compliance plate approval – this is standard procedure for all Frontline conversions. If you are comparing us to other manufacturers, look for the second Stage approval. If it doesn’t have it, don’t buy it. Our approval is full volume, which is full pull testing on seating and seat belts, an important approval offering piece of mind.

Reputation

We are very proud of our Frontline reputation, which comes from years of having the utmost respect for the product, our people, and our customers – and from just doing the right thing.

It’s a bit like buying anything, until you own it and try it, you don’t really know what you’ve got. Mark my words, the clients we have moving around this country sing our praises every day and that makes us feel great. It’s not rare at all to hear comments like, “I spoke to someone in Broome with a Frontline – and they love it!”

Resale

Frontline products have outstanding resale value.

Although most customers hold onto their van for 5 to 10 years, it’s great to know that when it’s time to sell, the recognition of Frontline’s quality will ensure a good resale. Frontline’s first-sale affordable pricing adds to your assurance of a good resale value, particularly against high priced brands in competition.

Range

Frontline offers the largest range of approved designs in the VW Transporter and Toyota Hiace in the country.

Take a look through the web site or our brochures and we are sure you will find a design that fits your needs.

Company Owners

The owners of Frontline, Peter Farrugia and Jeffery Verhagen, started their business back in 1987 and are still involved in the daily running of the business.

Peter deals with sales and administration, but has a passion for building and using the product. A cabinet maker by trade, Peter enjoys the design process, especially the release of new designs and ideas.

In his leisure time, Peter chases his three kids around at Nippers, rugby, sailing, indoor soccer, netball, touch footy, and softball – quite often performing as manager or coach. He enjoys sailing, bike riding, surfing, fishing, skiing – and the list goes on. An on-target individual, Peter believes in keeping focused on a task, doing it well and with honesty, plus having fun while completing it.

Jeff, as Manager of the workshop, demands high quality workmanship from the Frontline team and of himself. With over 30 years of producing Campervans under his belt, he has a wealth of experience not often found. Jeff loves seeing products evolve from start to finish, steering production down a very efficient path, and personally checking each product before it leaves the factory.

He has a true passion for the leisure industry and loves the outdoors, spending his leisure time camping, fishing, boating, and surfing. Jeff’s eagle eye for detail and cleverness with design and function are invaluable assets.

Frontline Since 1987.
