Queensland Caravans & Campervans

MotorhomesMotorhomes are the ultimate tiny house on wheels and ideal for packing up and exploring. Motorhomes are larger recreational vehicles with room to move inside. They are usually fully self-contained with all facilities that you need including kitchen, toilet, shower, sleeping and dining areas. Motorhomes usually provide sleeping berths for two to six people, sometimes maximising the space above the cab or front seat/driving area as an extra bed. The layout within motorhomes provides for recreation and relaxation.
There are very few class 3 campers that you can carry on a 1 tonne ute without exceeding your GVM. 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. inflatable tent Note that, partial rear folding oyster designs are more susceptible to dust penetrating the seal from the trailing wind funnel of the vehicle when travelling in the Outback. Typically a box design with a oyster shell that folds over the side or the rear.

Your vehicle is doing all the hard work, make sure it is fit for your intended purpose. Stock standard utes are not designed for off road touring. At the very least consider upgrading your shock absorbers if you plan to go off the Tarmac. When considering a slide on camper,  you quickly realise the more electronically controlled mechanisms there are, the more risk of something going wrong in the middle of nowhere. Perhaps one of the most important steps in choosing a slide on camper is identiifying value for money.

CampervansCampervans are the smallest option and easy to drive and park.  Usually a converted cargo type van, they might seem ordinary on the outside, but open them up and you will find, at the least, a bed to rest your head. Campervans are usually two to four berths to sleep a couple of people comfortably. Campervan conversions may also include nifty storage areas, cupboards, dining and kitchen prep space - think the classic VW Kombi camper fit out. Volkswagen still manufactures vans suitable for camping today. Ford, Mazda, Mercedes, and Toyota campervans are often seen on the road.
High-top models and pop-up or flip-top roofs are popular campervans for the extra headroom. This is particularly important for slide on campers on dual cab utes, where the tray sits typically right above or just in front of the rear axle. It is impossible to move the load further toward the center of the wheelbase like you can with a single cab ute.

The original forward-fold range of camper trailers are famous for their ease of operation, and were the first to include air conditioning in Australia!

Needless to say, these kinds of builds did not lend themselves to the rigours of outback travel/touring as they often broke the vehicle they sat on or broke themselves under their own weight . In Australia the majority of utes are European or Japanese brands, which are smaller than American vehicles, providing limited space in a tub. The tray-style camper is usually called a slide on, referring to the action of sliding the camper onto the flat-bed platform.  They now account for a small but significant market share of the caravan and camping industry Australia-wide. They often appeal to those who want to avoid towing or go to really remote locations. A trailer can have extra axles, wheels, tires, brakes, and suspension that can substantially increase your risk of equipment failure.
If you have a ute or a tray-back 4WD, a slide-on camper could make the ideal bush home.
