A history lesson

Usually I research stuff before I buy it but the Topagee was one of those things where I didn't really care where it came from or how it was made, I just knew I wanted to give it a home. Recently I've started digging in to old manuals and pictures online and this is what I've come up with...

Who made the Topagee?

Digging around on the net I found this old manual for the Topagee on Pinterest which references "Campa Products (N.Z.) LTD". Quick search on them shows that they were operational in New Zealand from 1975 - 1997. In Australia they were distributed under "Topagee Campers PTY LTD" which weirdly incorporated earlier than the New Zealand company and ran from 1971 - 1976.

I'm pretty sure I've got the 'budget' model from the above.

Here's a review of it from back in the day:

I'll keep updating this page whenever I find new things.
