Meet Adam Mathieson - Director Nomadic Off-Road Campers

 

A Lifetime of Adventure

For me, the Nomadic way of life began over 35 years ago when my father introduced me to camping along the beaches and creek banks of North Queensland. Nothing was more exciting than packing the tent or swag, loading up the boat, grabbing some food and fishing rods, and heading off in the old Toyota ute. Those early adventures sparked a lifelong passion for camping, exploring, and building the perfect off-road setups.

​

That passion took me around the world, but in 2009, I returned to Australia from the UK and settled on the Sunshine Coast. From the stunning beaches to the rugged hinterland, my family and I have explored it all. Now, I love nothing more than grabbing my kids and heading off on new adventures around this incredible country.

​

From a Backyard Trailer to Leading an Industry

My love for designing and building trailers started when I was just 12 years old. I had a small lawn mowing business and needed a way to transport my mower and whipper-snipper, so I built my first bike trailer—a simple but practical design that fueled my passion for innovation.

By 2008, I was ready to move beyond tents and started designing and building a box trailer-style camper. This included a kitchen slide-out, sink, and rooftop tent—one of the first of its kind at the time. That trailer is still going strong today with its current owner!

​

In 2010, I got my first real break in the industry, helping Swag Camper Trailers with marketing and product feedback. This opened my eyes to the incredible world of off-road campers and caravans.

​

By 2017, I took over as General Manager of Swag Camper Trailers, leading the company through a challenging period. Instead of following the cookie-cutter import model, I focused on completely redesigning and innovating the product range, ensuring our campers and caravans were unique and built for the tough Australian landscape.

​

Through hard work and dedication, I transformed Swag from producing just 30 trailers per year into a respected and recognised RV dealer in Australia.

​

The Birth of Nomadic Off-Road Campers

As my desire to develop a truly unique off-road camper brand grew, I knew it was time to branch out on my own. When the owner of Swag wanted to retire and the opportunity for me to purchase Swag Camper Trailers didn’t eventuate, the only option was to start fresh—Nomadic Off-Road Campers was born.

​
