Brand discontinued — Kentucky Camp is dormant, meaning no new models and declining manufacturer support.

Low UK brand awareness — outside motorsport circles, Kentucky is relatively unknown.

Parts availability — as a dormant brand, specific Kentucky habitation parts may become harder to source.

Budget positioning — entry-level materials and fittings reflect competitive pricing.

Heavy with large garages — the oversized garages add weight, potentially pushing towards 3,500kg limits.

Check the base vehicle — on Ford Transit: service history, turbo, gearbox. On Mercedes: full dealer history.

Inspect the famous garage — check garage floor, walls, door mechanisms and seals thoroughly. Heavy use may have caused wear.

Conduct thorough damp check — large garage doors create multiple seal points. Check all seals carefully.

Check habitation parts availability — as a dormant brand, verify that replacement parts are obtainable before purchase.

Kentucky Camp is a dormant brand with no current manufacturer warranty support. Parts may be available through Rimor/Trigano dealers but this should be confirmed before purchase.
