Book with confidence — Plans change and we understand! Since this RV has a flexible cancellation policy, you've got some breathing room if your trip needs a tweak. You can find all the details in the cancellations section below.

$$ Discount available for longer term hires more than 12 days $$ ** Pack some food and your clothes and away you go! ** Our family freedom machine has everything you need to create a wonderful holiday! The 14.44-4 Expanda is extremely well appointed, has a fantastic practical layout and is light, economical and easy to tow (<2000kg). It is super easy to set up with step by step instructions provided. Dora comfortably sleeps 5 (or 4 plus up to 2 kids) and comes with all crockery, cutlery and linen (on request) plus many extras provided! An external double shower/toilet ensuite tent is available (on request) providing a spacious and function bathroom for off-grid adventures (see photos). Dora is perfect for a quick getaway or a long relaxing camping holiday. As I work from home most of the time, I can usually offer very flexible pick up and drop off times to suit you and your holiday.

    Highly recommend this van and Jared as the host. We recently completed a trip down south for 9 days. The van was very well equipped and perfect for our family of 5. We would hire this van again if we were to do another trip.

    Amazingly well set up van for our little getaway. The van is super easy to tow and has everything you need included. Jared was easy to communicate with and I would definitely use Dora again. Thank you

    Ripper little van for a family. More than bug enough to store all our stuff for a trip down south and very comfortable to sleep in. Jared completed a thorough hand over and made sure we knew how everything worked before we left. Thank you!

I grew up camping in tents and campervans and more recently my wife Amelia and I have owned caravans for taking our family on fun and exciting adventures. We love sharing our van and helping others enjoy our beautiful state.
