Meet the Women Powering Your Favourite RV Brands
Posted by Mary Gene Tagaylo on
Hi Everyone!
We want to shine a light on inspiring women who, like us, started with a simple idea and turned it into something that makes life on the road easier. These female-led businesses have built trusted RV and caravan brands designed to support real travel experiences.
Last month, we came together to collaborate on a prize draw worth over $1,500, and the draw took place on 20th February. Congratulations to our winner, Eric Warwick! 🎉
Thank you to everyone who entered and supported this collaboration.
Here’s a little about each of these amazing women
their journey into the RV world, and the clever creations that make life on the road that much better.
For Tara Cameron-Smith, founder of Dreamer RV, the idea was born on the open road. In 2016, while travelling Australia with her husband Jim and their two young sons, she discovered that the biggest challenge of life on the road wasn’t space – it was sleep.
Determined to create a more restful experience, Tara developed the Wanderluxe™ Mattress Topper, a premium, custom-cut memory foam topper designed to bring home-level comfort to caravans.
Since launching in 2022, Dreamer RV has grown into a trusted name in the RV industry, helping thousands of travellers wake up refreshed and ready to explore. Today, the range includes 12 different size offerings of the Wanderluxe™ Topper. Along with Dreamer RV’s Waterproof Mattress Protector they create a perfectly paired sleep system crafted from breathable Tencel-blend fabrics and designed to make every night on the road as comfortable as home.

For Kylie Fanning, founder and managing director of BBQARM, the idea was sparked from her family’s love of the outdoors. Travelling Australia with her husband and two children, Kylie found herself constantly looking for ways to keep their outdoor setup and cooking hub neater, simpler and more practical.
The idea became BBQARM and it changed the way caravanners cook outdoors. A solid, lightweight, space-saving table system that mounts directly to your caravan or camper to keep your BBQ right where you need it - secure, compact and ready to use.
What started in 2017 as a clever idea to make life easier for outdoor cooking and mealtimes on the road, has grown into a range that now includes Starlink RV Poles and other handy caravan accessories.
Every product reflects Kylie’s commitment to clever, functional design that helps travellers cook, connect, and camp smarter — making life outdoors simpler and more enjoyable for everyone.

MeanderWild was founded by two sisters-in-law who wanted to make caravan life easier for families on the road. The business began after they repeatedly bought expensive bedding for their caravans, only to find it didn’t fit properly or stay in place. Frustrated, they set out to create practical bedding designed specifically for caravans: pieces that fit well, wash well, and help everyone sleep better so the journey feels smoother.
Starting in Langwarrin with a handful of ideas and a sewing machine, MeanderWild has grown into a range loved by travelling families, weekend wanderers, and big-lap dreamers. The focus is simple: thoughtful design, quality materials, and products that make life in a small space more comfortable and connected.
MeanderWild believes adventures matter — and when everyone sleeps well, the memories get even better.
Sweet dreams and safe travels.

Suze founded muk mat in 2017 with one simple intention: to make life on the road easier for families who love exploring the outdoors—but not the mess that comes with it. As a Gold Coast mum spending her weekends camping, surfing and adventuring with her family, she was constantly battling the frustration of sand, dirt and grit being dragged back into their living spaces. Unable to find a mat that could withstand the muck while still looking great and feeling good underfoot, she created her own. The result was muk mat: a premium, Australian-designed turf mat that finally solved a universal problem for campers, caravanners and outdoor lovers.
Today, muk mat is a rapidly growing Australian brand trusted by tens of thousands of families and stocked by retailers across Australia and New Zealand, with international expansion now underway. Customers don’t just buy the mat—they rave about it, making word of mouth one of muk mat’s strongest growth drivers. With multiple colours, sizes and applications designed for vans, tents, homes and cars, muk mat continues to evolve while staying true to Suze’s founding mission: to make outdoor living easier, cleaner and more enjoyable for everyone.

AND IF YOU’RE NEW TO FLAT OUT
here's a bit of background…
For Zoe Van Mill, the journey from regular camper to industry innovator has been a steady climb up the caravan escalator . She's done everything from dome tents as a teen scout to box trailer, to camper and now all-in hybrid Caravan (points if you you guess what's next!). Zoe has always loved the outdoors but she loves efficiency just as much.
When the opportunity came to take over Flat Out, she saw the perfect blend of both. What started as a clever Aussie invention to tame hose tangles has grown into a nationally recognised brand that helps thousands of travellers set up faster and pack up smarter.
Under Zoe’s leadership, Flat Out has become a trusted name for anyone who’d rather spend their time exploring than wrestling with cables and hoses. Every product, from the original Multi-Reel™ to the latest accessories, is designed to save space, prevent drips and keep life on the road delightfully tangle free.
(Zoe recently took home the ALIBI Product-Based Business Award — a huge honour among some of Australia’s best and brightest female-led brands!)
