4WDs with rooftop tents: 8 builds we love right now

We’re teaming up with the legends at travla to bring the great Australian countryside to everyone. Like us, travla celebrates the unsung Aussie heroes right across our country, and what better way to enjoy a refreshing beer than around a campfire with your mates.

travla co-founder and Masterchef host Andy Allen recently spent some time hitting the back roads of the country in a 4WD with a rooftop tent, so we thought we’d shine a light on some of our favourite off-roaders, troopy’s, and 4WD’s here on Camplify. If you wanna grab a case and hit the road like Andy, go in the running to win a $1000 Camplify voucher and an awesome travla merch pack worth $500! Just head here to find out how to enter.

While you’re waiting for the winners to be announced, load up on some awesome travel inspiration with 8 of our favourite 4WD’s and Troopy’s on Camplify.

8. Cruiser Camper
