Tommy Campers s8X
The Tommy Campers S8X is our largest slide-on camper, measuring 2400mm in length and weighing from 351kg. Priced from $31,900 AUD, the S8X offers maximum living space, storage, and kitchen workspace for extended off-grid touring. Despite being our largest model, it’s only 25kg heavier than our lightest option, the S4X – a surprisingly small difference in the overall weight of a fully loaded touring setup. Best suited for single-cab touring builds and extended off-grid adventures.
Lightweight Aluminium Body
Built to go off-road.
Built for remote Australia, the Tommy Campers S8X features an industry-leading 3mm thick aluminium body designed to handle harsh corrugations, rugged off-road tracks, and long days far beyond the bitumen. Lightweight, practical, and built for real overlanding, every S8X is handcrafted at our Ballarat HQ and can be customised with a range of proven touring options to suit the way you travel.

“I looked at every tray back camper on the market over a couple of years”
I looked at every tray back camper on the market over a couple of years and decided on the Tommy.
The service from Jason and the team couldn’t have been better in both the building of the camper and also, the building of my custom tray to suit!
The camper is just fantastic! A breeze to set up (you can literally be in bed in 30 seconds from when you pull up!) and everything is just where you need it to be. We’ve used it for a few trips now and just keep enjoying it more. We optioned a lot of extras and are very glad we did. The heater is a wonderful addition and warms it up in no time for those frosty desert nights.
The job on the tray is also first class (I’m a qualified technician who’s super fussy) and we’ve not had one issue with it. The rear drawer and side storage are brilliant and easy to use.
We love our Tommy! Thanks guys for a great product and experience!
FAQ’s
Is a Tommy Camper S8X the right slide-on camper for me?
Typically, the build starts with ute configuration (Dual Cab, Extra Cab or Single Cab). The configuration will determine the tray length (1850mm, 2100mm, or 2400mm), which in turn determines the camper type (S4X, S6X, or S8X).
Do I need a Tommy tray?
We build our trays here at Tommy Campers and believe they’re among the coolest and strongest on the market. However, our campers don’t only fit on our trays; they also fit on any tray – both genuine OEM and aftermarket trays.
Can I fit a Tommy Camper on a tub?
All Tommy Campers are built for trays, so the tub on your ute needs to be replaced with a tray.
Is a Tommy Camper S8X heavy?
348kg! That’s the weight of an empty S8X Model shell. Yes, you can say a Tommy Camper S8X is a lightweight aluminium slide-on camper!
