Kimbo 8 — A Thoughtful Next Chapter

After more than a decade of building aluminum truck campers and delivering over 600 Kimbos into the wild, we knew the next platform couldn’t be rushed.

The Kimbo 8 is not simply a stretched Kimbo 6.
It’s a ground-up evolution shaped by years of real-world customer use.

More space, more capability, and more flexibility — while staying true to what makes a Kimbo different: durability, simplicity, and repairability.

Even Stronger Shell

The same riveted aluminum monocoque construction Kimbo is known for — now reinforced with a new hemming process.

Expanded Interior Living

A larger integrated layout with defined living zones, improved kitchen space, and room to move comfortably inside.

Dedicated Wet Bath

A fully enclosed wet bath with cassette toilet and indoor shower — designed for real four-season travel.

Queen Cabover Bed

Big enough for a queen-size mattress in the loft, plus a convertible dinette and optional bunk module for flexibile sleeping.

Improved Cold-Weather Performance

R10 insulation for greater comfort in cold conditions.

Extended Off Grid Capability

Expanded solar capacity, large battery system, and dedicated generator bay for longer off-grid travel.

Built Once. Built to Grow.

Built for long-term ownership, with improved shell strength, durability, and the flexibility to grow with your family.

More Space. More Capability. More Freedom.

The Kimbo 8 introduces a larger integrated platform designed for extended off-grid travel.

More interior volume allows for permanent systems — kitchen, bathroom, storage, and sleeping — without sacrificing simplicity or durability.

It’s built for people who want more capability without moving into oversized RV territory.
