Additional information
The van expands front and rear to give generous sleeping space for up to 4. Setup is straightforward and we’ll walk you through it at handover. No ensuite — you’ll need access to campsite amenities or bring your own portable toilet setup. There’s a indoor kitchen with a gas cooktop and fridge. We have an induction cooktop for outdoor cooking also. The larger wheels handle gravel and dirt roads well, but this isn’t a full off-road setup — avoid deep creek crossings or heavily corrugated tracks. A tow ball and 7-pin flat plug are required. Please confirm your tow vehicle’s capacity before booking — minimum 1,500kg tow rating recommended. The van must be returned clean and with gas bottles at the same level as pickup.
