About the Glider
The JAG Glider is an ultra-light off-road teardrop camper for couples and solo travellers, designed and built in Brisbane. It weighs 550kg tare with a 50kg ball weight, so small cars, compact SUVs and many electric vehicles can tow it. At 1.84m high it stores in a home garage.
Inside is a double bed with a full-size memory foam mattress, a two-shelf clothes cupboard and an insulated cabin. A large openable sunroof and two windows carry blinds and bug screens, and a cabin fan moves the air. The doors are lockable Crimsafe security screens. The rear kitchen holds a 30L slide-out fridge, a Dometic Cadac two-burner gas cooktop, a large bench and five drawers. An overhead cupboard carries three storage crates, and the sink runs on a SeaFlow pump from the 60L water tank.
The body is a composite fibreglass and XPS foam sandwich panel on a hot-dip galvanised steel chassis. The cabin is a sealed monocoque against water and dust, with marine-grade UV-coated plywood cabinetry. It rides on AL-KO independent off-road suspension with hydraulic disc brakes. The drawbar has a storage area for a box, bike racks or accessories. JAG gives a five-year warranty.
Power is a 100Ah Australian-made lithium battery. It charges from a 40A DC to DC charger, a 40A 240V charger and an MPPT solar controller with a solar input. The Garmin Smart RV system runs the lights and electronics from a touch screen or phone app. The same screen shows battery, gas, water and ground level. There are 240V outlets for shore power.
Two panel colours are offered, Cool Grey and Sandstorm, and a 3M automotive lower wrap adds more than 50 colour and style options. JAG sells factory-direct through an online configurator that shows a live quote as you add options. Tours and orders run from the Morningside workshop in Brisbane.

2Ring ahead, then go see it
JAG Camper sells factory-direct - you deal with the factory, not a dealer network. Ring ahead to check what's on display.
When you call, ask:
- Have you got the JAG Camper Glider in the yard now, or is it on order?
- Can I come and walk through it this week?
- What's your best drive-away price on it?
- Is it the same build I compared, with matching layout, weights and features?
3When you get there, check
- The compliance plate - check the tare and ATM against the specs you compared here. The plate carries the legal numbers.
Where the plate is and how to read it - Water damage - soft spots in the floor, stains on the walls, or a musty smell in the cupboards.
How to spot water damage - That everything works - lights, water pump, fridge, gas, and the brakes and hitch.
The full inspection checklist, system by system - Sort your finance before you hand over a deposit, so you are never committed to a van you cannot finance.

Delivery and freight
JAG Camper builds to order, so you collect from the factory or have it delivered to you. Interstate freight is a real cost, often a few thousand dollars, and it climbs with distance, so budget for it.
