Building Campers & Trailers Since 2003
Small on your way. Big when you stay…
We manufacture a versatile, lightweight, slide-on camper that can be mounted on any bakkie, on a trailer, or you can slide it off to be completely free standing. This enables you to tour anywhere you want, and sleep anywhere you find yourself.
The AHA Transformer is a compact, lightweight living unit that opens up in 15 seconds and sleeps 2-4 people. With the 15 minute complete setup, you can sleep 6-8 people.
The AHA Transformer contains everything you need for a good night’s sleep, including a spacious bed, air conditioning, wash basin, shower, toilet, kitchen, and more.
The AHA Transformer is the only camper in the world that transforms into what your current circumstances require. Whether it’s just the two of you, a growing family, a tour to a new camping destination, or an overlanding adventure into unfamiliar territory. On a bakkie, you have a motorhome; on a trailer, you have a caravan; or use it free‑standing as a home base.
The AHA Transformer is designed to provide the comfort and convenience of home, while exploring the great outdoors – it is a very popular choice for overland and off-road enthusiasts.

The AHA Transformer Placed
On a bakkie
The Transformer can be mounted onto almost any bakkie. It is among the lightest camper units for vehicles. The design of this unit is so clever and well thought through, with no permanent modifications to your vehicle. It’s much like adding a canopy; while traveling you’ll hardly notice it—yet you’ll have a perfectly equipped shelter with you.
Aerodynamic, lightweight and slim on your load bay, travelling from tar to deep sand and the roughest corrugated roads across the country and its borders. You will have the peace of mind that everything you need is available to you in just 15 seconds.
For your convenience you also do not have to tow anything, and there’s virtually nowhere your vehicle can’t go! If your bakkie can handle the roads, you can be sure that there will be no place outdoors you can’t set up for a night under the stars in luxury!
The Transformer provides 5-Star luxury outdoors!

On A Trailer
Having the option to mount the camper onto our own manufactured trailer is just another feature of the AHA Transformer. The AHA Transformer can transform into your current outdoor accommodation need.
This makes the AHA Transformer the only camper in the industry, where you buy a single camper product and you can either have a motorhome – that sleeps 2-6, or you can have a complete caravan like trailer setup that can accommodate up to 8 people.

Free Standing
The AHA Transformer is a slide-on camper, not a permanent fixture to your vehicle. Its unique design makes it easy to remove the unit onto its own storage legs. The hand winch and “slide-on/off” slides on the AHA make this process quick and effortless.
Since your vehicle might be used for work, you can use this frame for storage purposes. Alternatively, during hunting trips or longer stays, you can leave the AHA at the campsite while you travel with your bakkie.
AHA Transformer Features
AHA Transformer Features:
Queen or King Size Bed
With over two decades of experience in outdoor innovation, we know that a good night’s sleep can make or break any adventure. That’s why the AHA Transformer was designed around a full-size, island-style bed — now available in your choice of Queen or King configuration.
With the Queen option, the layout allows full access to the interior toilet without moving the fridge. With the King option, you gain extra sleeping width for those who value maximum comfort over bathroom access.
Whether you prefer more bed space or full interior convenience, the Transformer adapts to your needs. Both layouts feature our premium 100mm-thick egg-crate mattress, ensuring restful comfort for every traveller — solo, couple, or small family alike.
AHA Transformer Features:
Inside Toilet
Our Porta Potti, conveniently located inside the AHA Transformer, makes that middle-of-the-night emergency stroll a breeze. This easy-to-use, 10-litre Porta Potti operates manually, flushing water from the top tank into the holding tank below. Aromatic chemicals ensure effective breakdown of waste and liquids.
Portable toilets are simple to use. They flush water from the top tank into the holding tank using aromatic chemicals. The waste and liquids are then broken down effectively. The simplicity lies in their full self-contained nature, but you must remember to drain the holding tank, which only holds 10 litres.
No more dashing off to the campsite ablution facilities in the dark, only to find your flashlight missing or worrying about a leopard in the tree or a lion in the long grass. With our Porta Potti, you have everything you need at your fingertips.
AHA Transformer Features:
Large Shower
A warm shower, whether in winter or summer, is a luxury we’ve all grown accustomed to at home. We wouldn’t want to compromise on this comfort when camping. While an outdoor shower is wonderful in summer, it comes with its own set of complications, such as storing towels and clothes, getting dressed in the wet shower cubicle, and stepping into dust or mud.
To address these challenges, we’ve created a spacious indoor shower with room for two, if desired. This luxury shower features a zip-down access point for towels and clothes, allowing you to step onto a dry carpet to get dressed. A strategically placed mirror on the wall ensures you’re clean-shaven, and your wife can even apply her lipstick with precision.
AHA Transformer Features:
Kitchen
The carefully designed AHA kitchen is compact yet functional. Our layout features a shelf system with a cutlery organiser on the right-hand side of the kitchen compartment.
The top shelf section includes a drop-down table with dual functionality. Firstly, it securely holds crockery and spices stored in the shelf compartment. Secondly, when dropped down, it provides easy access to selected items while cooking.
A second drop-down table is used to place your gas stove, air fryer, or induction plate for cooking.
We opted for adjustable dividers instead of pre-cut sponge inserts in the kitchen section. This decision was made to accommodate campers who use their own crockery and cutlery, ensuring a better fit and functionality.
AHA Transformer Features:
Dining For Two
Our uniquely functional outdoor kitchen is easily accessible, and the pull-out fridge makes every stop convenient, quick, and hassle-free.
Once your table is set up, you have extra working space to prepare your meal. After a sizzling braai, you can easily set the same table for two under the stars, listening to the sounds of the night and enjoying your meal.
Who doesn’t love a quick stop alongside the road for padkos? This is even more convenient with the outdoor kitchen, where all your equipment is at your fingertips.
AHA Transformer Features:
Gas & Electric
Almost every product in the industry has made provision for campers to have 220 V power when at a campsite. However, as more campers desired to explore completely off-the-grid destinations, 12 V battery power was added.
The difference lies in the power systems: the 220 V mains system powers all household appliances like fridges and hairdryers, as well as high-wattage appliances such as air fryers and kettles.
On the other hand, the 12 V system powers all low-wattage items, including water pumps, strip lights, and fridges. A battery is used to power the 12 V system, and a solar panel can be incorporated to keep the battery charged as it is used, making for easy and convenient camping.
Gas is also incorporated for cooking and as a heating source for warm water in the shower using a 5.5-litre gas geyser. The heat can be regulated on the geyser itself. In the kitchen, campers can either use a 2-plate gas stove or one of the oldest methods, a 3 kg gas bottle with a cooker top.
AHA Transformer Features:
Water Tank
In front of the axle, we installed a 120-litre water tank within the double-storey space of the AHA Transformer. The water is accessed from the inside basin and the shower.
To make the water hot, we incorporated a gas geyser. There’s also a cold water tap in the outside kitchen for easy use. These taps are supplied by a 12 V pump.
A multi-function gravity-feed tap is used to fill the water tank and ensures that you still have water access if the 12 V pump fails.
To the right-hand side, we installed a water gauge to show the water level.
AHA Transformer Features:
Battery
The 12 V system powers all low-wattage items, including water pumps, strip lights, and even fridges. A battery is used for this system, and you can choose between normal Deep-cycle batteries or Lithium batteries.
The AHA Transformer includes all the necessary Victron products to create a complete 12 V battery system. With the battery power, you can also incorporate a solar panel to keep the battery charged as it is used.
AHA Transformer Features:
Inverter
With the complete 12 V battery system, you have the option to add a 600 Watt Pure Sine Wave Inverter. This inverter allows you to switch your 12 V battery power to 220 V power. It’s a convenient size that can charge your cellular phone, camera, or laptop.
The inverter is conveniently installed inside the camper for easy use.
AHA Transformer Features:
Solar
A 160-watt solar panel is installed on the roof of the AHA. This ensures that your camper’s battery is always fully charged when you’re off-grid camping. So, you don’t have to worry about the power used by the lights or fridge during your stay.
AHA Transformer Features:
Fridge
We offer two fridge sizes: a 50-litre or a 90-litre National Luna, which can be installed in the AHA Transformer. These South African-produced fridge/freezers come with excellent aftermarket service.
You can also incorporate your existing fridge/freezer into the camper, provided it fits within the designated space.
AHA Transformer Features:
Aircon
A 7,000 BTU air conditioner is a wonderful addition to the camper, especially if you travel during the summer months. Nobody likes to sleep in extreme heatwaves.
One Night Stand
1 Minute Setup
Set up for a single-night stay in just 15 seconds. Pack up and leave the next day in under 10 minutes.

AHA Outdoor Systems has designed the world’s only camper that transforms into various products to suit your needs. Simply attach the camper to your chosen vehicle, and you’re ready to comfortably accommodate two people.
For larger families, the trailer version of the AHA Transformer can accommodate up to eight people.
As your children grow older and move out, you can revert to the two-person configuration. Simply attach the camper to your vehicle, and it’s ready for two again.
