With much anticipation about its latest offering, GIC Camper Trailers put up one of its Outback Rovers for evaluation. It’s a hard-floor, rear-fold model and GIC claims it can be set up in just 45 seconds with a hand winching system and a few slight adjustments to the interior bows.

Campers are subject to many incredible set-up claims. Nearly as many fall short and take an age to erect.
