Profile in Commerce - Campinawe
Meet our Profile in Commerce: Campinawe
Located at 21967 W 83rd St, Shawnee, KS, Campinawe is simply here to build the toughest, most adventure-ready campers on the planet and inspire people to live stories worth telling. Campinawe gives you room to breathe. With twice the cabin space of typical campers and a true full-size queen bed, you don’t have to choose between comfort and function. The cabin doubles as a mudroom and lounge, offering space for two adults to sit, take off gear, or just relax without climbing straight onto the bed. It’s the kind of thoughtful design that makes every trip feel less cramped and more like home.
Brett Lafferty, Co-Owner and VP of Sales
We are new to the overland camper market. All of our backgrounds are in the gun safe world, and we just started Campinawe in August of last year. We are excited for this new endeavor and market.
Tell us about your business.
Campinawe is a modified Teardrop Camper manufacturer and dealer. Our design is the only camper on the market with a mudroom, so you don't have to climb directly into your bed. Our units have 10X the storage, are under 2K pounds, and can fit in a regular 7 ft garage. Campinawe was originally founded in 2021 by a design firm in Bonner Springs, KS. Last August, we bought the design and really started to take it to market.
