From ST5 to Finke Edition: Patriot Campers’ new off-road icons
Explore Patriot Campers' ST5 Supertourer and Finke Edition, a rugged off-road camper for adventures off the beaten track.
Published on: 3 December 2024
When Patriot Campers recently revealed the ST5 Supertourer Finke Edition at SEMA in Las Vegas, it was apparent that this wasn’t just another camper. This limited-edition camper trailer, inspired by the legendary Finke Desert Race, combines rugged performance with a bold design that screams adventure. Featuring striking Patriot Racing livery, Fox Racing remote reservoir shocks, and Method beadgrip wheels with 35” tyres, the Finke Edition is as tough as it looks. Inside, carbon-fibre trims and black Alcantara finishes add a touch of luxury to its hardcore off-road pedigree.
But the Finke Edition is built on the foundation of Patriot Campers’ ST5 Supertourer—a camper that is fast earning its reputation as one of the best in the game. Engineered with Patriot Campers’ signature blend of innovation, durability, and practicality, the ST5 Supertourer is ready for everything and designed to handle harsh conditions without compromising on comfort.
Here’s why the ST5 deserves its place as one of the best in the game.
Key features of Patriot Campers’ ST5 Supertourer
Lightweight and durable construction
Using structural aluminium and composite materials, Patriot Campers ST5 strikes a balance between reduced weight and increased strength. The Rigilite galvanised chassis offers superior durability and protects critical components like water tanks and climate control units.
Off-grid power
The ST5 is a self-sufficient powerhouse featuring 800W of solar panels and 460Ah lithium batteries. Its 3000W inverter and Bluetooth-controlled electronics make managing power effortless, whether you’re charging devices or running appliances.
Advanced suspension
The Trinamic™ suspension system, developed in-house with input from off-road racing experts, delivers 250mm of travel for exceptional handling on rough tracks. This setup enhances stability, reduces wear, and ensures you can confidently tackle challenging terrain.
Smart interior design
The interior of Patriot Campers ST5 makes the most of its compact size with a U-shaped lounge that converts into a queen-sized bed. An optional folding bunk adds extra sleeping capacity, while the internal bathroom’s wet-dry floor system ensures convenience and cleanliness. Stylish finishes and thoughtful lighting create a comfortable space for downtime.
Outdoor functionality
The external kitchen is a standout, equipped with a twin-slide pantry, 95L dual-zone fridge, and hot-and-cold sink. Its scratch-resistant stainless steel prep area is practical for outdoor cooking. With over 1,500L of storage, including Exorack systems and molle panelling, the ST5 ensures your gear is always organised and accessible.
Engineered for off-roading
Standard 33” tyres (or optional 35” tyres), rock sliders, and underbody protection make the ST5 off-road ready. Its low centre of gravity and balanced weight distribution ensures it handles tough conditions with ease.
