Modzilla was started by De Klerk Kruger — serial entrepreneur and the heart behind the brand.

From a young age, you could find him in his dad’s garage, building just about anything he could dream up — especially if it involved metal. That love for creating with his hands never left him, and over the years it’s fueled both his passion projects and business ventures.

One of those dreams was to build an off-road caravan from scratch. But the design and engineering would take ages, so he did what any impatient builder would do — he bought one… and then modified the heck out of it.

Then a friend told him about kit aircraft. That was all he needed to hear. Soon he was knee-deep in building a plane in his garage. And somewhere in between torque wrenches and rivets, it hit him: what if he could design kit trailers and caravans that others could build just like this — in their own garages, with minimal tools, and maximum satisfaction?

That’s when this venture was born.

As a serial entrepreneur, he has always chased ideas that bring joy and experiences to others. Over the years, he has launched several businesses — from an event infrastructure business to property renovations — all rooted in a love for quality, simplicity, and hands-on craftsmanship.

Now, with our kit trailers, caravans and outdoor equipment, we’re helping like-minded adventurers and DIYers build their own rugged, off-road-ready gear — no factory needed. Just a garage, some basic tools, and a passion for building.

Welcome to the adventure. Let’s build something awesome..
