Hi, I'm Mick. I picked up Hector in September 2024 and have been upgrading and fine tuning him ever since. What started as a passion for getting outdoors has turned into something I want other people to experience too. Hector has already covered more than 6,000km across South Australia, the Northern Territory and North Queensland, and a Cape York run is on the calendar for August. I maintain Hector like I am the one using him next, because usually I am. Every upgrade has been made with the hirer in mind and I take genuine pride in the condition he goes out in. Over 17 hires and 17 five star reviews, the feedback I hear most is that the handover process and setup videos made all the difference. That matters to me. I pride myself in providing exceptional communication throughout the process. You should feel looked after from the first message to the moment you return. If you have any questions before booking, just reach out and I would be happy to assist you.

5 stars I highly recommend this wee camper for yer next trip away, it towed exceptionally well and never really felt heavy or cumbersome. The set-up was a breeze with Mick's educational videos, packing up didn't take long either. This wee camper comes with everything, (even though I brought my own cookware and crockery), I found that Mick had everything you need if it's your 1st time glampimg. The selection of tools had everything you need for set up. (Drill of pegs, leaf blower for keeping the place tidy). A huge amount of storage is available in the camper as well. The shower is an add bonus but I would only use if there is alot of sun as the heater draws alot of power from the battery. Being middle aged I thought the roof top tent would be a hassle but the steps and rail made it easy (even in the middle of the night). The 280 awning gives excellent coverage (we didn't use the sides). Again this is a fully kitted out wee glamper and we will definitely hire again. 5 stars.

This was my first time using a camper trailer and rooftop tent, I can say it was super convenient and absolutely provided me with all that I needed for my weekend away filming a 3 day off road 4x4 event. Michaels set up and pack away videos were a huge help making the set up stage really easy and fast. Shower and hot water was awesome, every kitchen utensil you need and then some. The lighting was great in and around the van and plenty of batterie for all that I needed charging all of my camera equipment over the 3 days. The electric brake set up was also very easy to use and set up. It takes a few minutes but once youre done its all down hill from there. This will be my go to camper from now on. Thank you mate its a really great camper and can see the effect you have gone through making this an all in one camper.

Mick is allowing hirers to utilise his Hardkorr Camper as he uses it. He trusts hirers with all the extra luxuries that he uses himself. The modifications and additions make it better than a new one from factory. And it is meticulously maintained. Definitely set up to add clothes & food. But as always check with Mick if there is something you need. He is easy to communicate with. His short how to videos make a great camper even easier to setup first time.

We loved our weekend away with Hector.The hot shower, lights, great cooking facilities, the rooftop tent is comfy and stayed dry with some rain, the batwing awning and sides worked well. Michael's videos explained the set up, pack up and his hand over was first class. We highly recommend Hector and Camplify.

Third Time Renting Hector Still Outstanding! This was our third time renting Hector the camper trailer, and once again everything was absolutely fantastic. The trailer is incredibly easy to tow and so comfortable to sleep in it really makes camping feel effortless and relaxed. Michael is always such a pleasure to deal with: friendly, responsive, and genuinely cares that you have a great experience. Hes also put so much thought into upgrading Hector virtually instant hot water, the ability to charge 240V appliances, and excellent solar power. We were completely off-grid all week without a single issue. Its clear how well cared for and thoughtfully set up this camper is. Reliable, comfortable, and stress-free every time. We wouldnt look anywhere else and cant recommend Michael and Hector highly enough!

Great van to tow, had no issues towing it behind our stock hybrid Cannon Alpha to cathedrals on fraser island. Stairs made accessing the tent much easier than a ladder. The water lasted us 3 days and nights with a little to spare.

Amazing! This was camping in style for us..We were in locations with no power or running water so having solar power, hot water, lights and a hot shower made it luxurious. Mike was great with his communications, videos showing how to setup and take down things. The van was in excellent condition and very clean with so many extras like the bbq, hot shower, cleaning products etc The wrap around awning provided so much shade and the bed was very comfortable. I'd highly recommend this van!

Mick was so helpful from the onset through the handover and return process. Hector towed like an absolute dream. The trailer had everything we needed for our off grid adventure. I will definitely be renting Hector from Mick again.

Another Incredible Experience Even Better the Second Time! This was our second time hiring Hector the Hardkorr camper trailer, and once again it was absolutely fantastic. Michael continues to be an exceptional hostefficient, thoughtful, and genuinely caring throughout the whole rental process. Everything was just as spotless, reliable, and well-equipped as we remembered. It honestly felt like picking up a brand-new trailer again. This time we towed the trailer ourselves, and it was surprisingly easy and handled beautifully on the road. Setup and pack down were a breeze (even easier this time!), thanks to Michaels clear instructions and the smart layout of the camper. The rooftop area was super comfortable, and the whole setup made our camping trip feel effortless and enjoyable. Were already planning to hire from Michael again. If youre looking for a compact, functional, and extremely well-maintained camper with a host who goes above and beyond every timelook no further. Thanks again, Michael, for another brilliant trip!

Hector had everything you needed and more. Absolutely loved it and if I need to go off-grid this van is perfect.
