Offroad Campers & Expedition Trucks

We have been building campers and canopies for utes and light trucks since 1998. Typically, class 1 slide on canopy campers range from AUD $8,000 – $30,000 depending on materials, features and accessories required. For example, some slide on campers have non-removable legs, that hang out from the wheelbase, and tend to hang low. You will find that your payload quickly gets used up with accessories, not leaving much weight for a slide on camper. You must find the right balance between creature comforts and not exceeding your GVM.
You must match your vehicle and slide on camper to the rashest terrain you intend to traverse. Over time purpose-built slide on campers started to arise, as people realised that you have much higher limitations on payload than you have with towing. BeyondRV slide in campers is an Australian family-run business that builds caravans, slide-on campers, motorhomes, and expedition vehicles. Based in Queensland, we’re the only manufacturer in the area capable of producing this full range of camping vehicles to high standards.

There are very few class 3 campers that you can carry on a 1 tonne ute without exceeding your GVM. Modern aluminium flatbed tray manufacturing techniques have significantly increased the strength of trays. There is more room to slide a camping unit into the back of the tub. In these cases, a slide-in camper is often chosen due to visual appeal, because there is plenty of space. The tub-style camper is usually called a slide-in camper which refers to the action of sliding the camper into the tub via the tailgate.

The TTL design is also the lightest model in the range, starting from 200kg. There are some compromises with the TTL design and the rear door is shorter, making access slightly more restrictive. The standard camper is supplied as a bare unit, with all the hard work has been completed and is ready to be fitted out.
Corrugations, potholes, ditches, trenches, river crossings, dunes and cut outs all take their toll to your camper and vehicle. When touring, something will break, it is just a matter of when. You need a support team, hence a good warranty clause is a part of that team. One of two scenarios can occur if you pack your vehicle with too much weight hanging behind the rear axle.

Such as Ford F250/350, Iveco Daily, Mercedes G Professional etc. The dry weight for this class of camper across the industry ranges dramatically from around 370 kg to 1000 kg depending on the manufacturer and accessories. Slide on campers are typically fitted out as a complete camper, with a fridge, gas bottle, battery, water tank, kitchen bench, bed, dining area, etc. 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.
From the spacious slide-out to the thoughtful inclusion of a washing machine, this motorhome caters to every aspect of your  journey. The Sunliner Navian N541 motorhome embodies the epitome of luxury travel, seamlessly blending comfort, functionality, and style. There’s nothing like seeing our slide-on campers up close and personal. Come meet us at an upcoming show where you can explore our latest models, chat with our team, and connect with a community of fellow 4×4 travel enthusiasts. It’s all just part of the service that we provide here at Slide on Campers.

Our slide-on campers offer the perfect blend of rugged capability and comfort, designed for the adventurous at heart. Whether you’re four-wheel driving down sandy beaches or navigating rough dirt roads, our campers are designed to make any location home. The Tong Camper is designed specifically for use with 4-wheel drive, tray-backed vehicles.
Long term off-road adventures in outback are the stuff dreams are made of! Touring vehicles, like kitted out 79 Series Landcruisers are the steeds which can take us there. Very easy to set up (I can be sitting after fully setting up, with gin in hand, 15mins after arriving at camp!). Plenty of storage space, a good size fridge, 2 burner stove and a heater for those cold nights. Luxury camping with the ability to go off road to any isolated spot. We have taken our Trayon over the Simpson Desert, Gibb River Road, around Tasmania and over the High Country as well as many small trips.
