You'll need a LR (MR or HR) licence to drive Gertie due to her size and weight. Gertie has been professionally kitted out by Dove Campervans in Perth, and has a TV (with wifi and DVD player), air conditioning, full fridge and freezer, microwave, gas stove, sink with running hot water, shower, toilet and solar panels. She comes complete with awning for shade and protection. We also offer an outdoor table, chairs, games, books and DVDs so you can fully enjoy your adventure.

Additional information

You'll need a LR (or MR or HR) licence to drive Gertie. She has a manual transmission and her size and weight mean you need to drive her differently than a car. Some experience driving this kind of vehicle is required to hire her. In our experience the best way to use Gertie is at powered camp sites. We will provide full instructions on how to make the best use of all Gertie's features. And give you with a full run when you pick her up. We provide all linen for the bed as well as bath towels. The kitchen is well stocked with utensils, glasses, plates etc and a few pantry items. No off road driving is allowed.

    Gertie was excellent fun, very easy to drive and great to camp where you park up. Didn't need to plug in as almost everything runs from the 12v system. Best holiday decision we have ever made to hire this apartment on wheels compared to a hotel. 10 out of 10 would do it again.

    We had an amazing time travelling in Gertie! She was the perfect sizeeasy to drive and park, but still spacious and super comfortable inside. Everything we needed was provided. Things like a fully stocked kitchen with loads of utensils and cutlery, to a really comfy bed that makes sleeping on the road a dream. Set-up and pack-down were incredibly quick and simple, which made moving from place-to-place hassle-free. You can tell Gertie is well cared forshe felt like a home on wheels. Highly recommend booking her for your next adventure. Thanks for an awesome experience!

    Whata Amazing Bus !!! Already travelled with a lot of motorhomes around Straya, this bus is really good, everything you need for your trip around Perth. Big enough, organized and clean, with 3 tanks of water you can travel without any worry. My partner and I had a really nice experience. surely I'll send to my friends when they come visit Perth. Many Thanks Di
