Deluxe slide-on camper

The reason they're not fitted with curtain rails is the limited space between the camper walls and the pop-up roof walls. The glass entry door, while having a heavy tint, misses out on a curtain. The layouts are either east-west double bed with rear-door access, or north-south queen bed with nearside door access. The camper reviewed here is the 2.1-metre north-south queen bed nearside door layout.
If you have a ute or a tray-back 4WD, a slide-on camper could make the ideal bush home.

They have greater interior space for shelter, add more seats for passengers, and have a dedicated indoor/outdoor cooking area.
That trip inspired him to build his first pop-top camping unit and interested travellers and word of mouth encouraged Aussie Eagle to start manufacturing their slide-on campers full time. Active Campers have been manufacturing their slide-ons since 2002 so have had plenty of time to get their product well and truly sorted. Similarly, they allow you to tow a boat or bike trailer, so you’re not going to miss out on catching the big one or the ride of a lifetime because you had to bring the camper trailer along. One of the big advantages of a slide on camper is the fact that you have a vehicle to drive when you get back from you travels unlike a motorhome that just sits in the driveway.

It works by slotting in an extra length of chassis and a lazy axle to take the weight of the camper. It’s all ADR approved and is totally reversible if you want to use your dual-cab for daily driving duties. No, not by a long shot, but full marks for sheer versatility. At Truck Campers Australia we were also struggling to find vehicles that could carry Truck Campers.
Solar power is provided by 400 watts of panels on the roof, and a 270 amp lithium battery ensures ample power storage. If you want to run your AC unit off the PM400 we can install an extra battery, larger inverter and an additional solar panel. Our ute-mounted slide-on campers, Campo and Scout, are perfect for those who love a good adventure with a sprinkle of comfort.

As a result, many Australians prefer tray back utes, where the tray provides more space that isn’t consumed by wheel arches. A tray also provides versatility and functionality in the camper layout, while also improving durability in off-road situations. Decisions are more often made on functionality, not aesthetics.
The inserts fill the space between the two beds so that the mattresses can be turned sideways and then pushed together to form a bed which is the width of a Queen-size bed. The mattresses would be 1880 mm long but when placed crossways there would be an extra 150 mm of length available, so with a pillow over the gap, the length available would be greater than that of a Queen bed. The awning extension slides into a sail track fixed to the roof so that it can hang down to the ground over the three sides of the fold out awning. These can be pegged to the ground to make an enclosed area at the back of the slide on except for the area underneath the vehicle. The sides can be extended out horizontally and poles inserted at the edges with ropes pegged to the ground to hold the poles upright.
Truck Camper is the term used predominantly in America, but also many other countries, to describe a Camper Van that sits on the back of a truck. That makes sense but for some reason here in Australia we tend to call them Slide-Ons, which is slightly weird as they don’t slide on, you have to jack them up and drive under them. When you remove them does that mean they should be called slide-offs? It would be easier, I guess to get one to slide off rather than on. We like the term Truck Camper because it aptly describes what they are.

Latest technologies and high quality materials are used, for example aeronautical fibre glass composite panels for the bed base. In 2013 Bonetti Campers presented the Mondo Pickup Musica slide on camper to the Sunshine Coast, which is a superior product to any else available, made in Italy.

More water tanks could be installed in the slide on if the air-conditioner was not required. There are a number of different off-the-shelf awnings available that could be mounted on the side of the roof underneath the window.
