Introduction The Dirt Adventurer is a late model MY23 Tvan Zenith Mk5, packed with many items standard that are not normally included in other campers and it's perfect for those with an adventurous spirit looking for a real escape. TVANs are Australian icons, celebrating 25 years of Australian manufacturing and design, and represent one of the most refined off-road campers available. This camper features all the must-have Tvan options including the premium kitchen, 60L dual zone fridge/freezer, diesel hot water, heating and shower, quick cover awning, dual Lithium batteries with dedicated Lithium chargers, 120 watts of roof mounted solar, and lots, lots more. Better still, it comes fully equipped with all the kitchen items you’ll need for a family of four. Throw in your sheets, towels, shopping, clothes and you’re good to go! Cocooned under a strong solid roof, the queen-size bed sleeps 2. There are wall pockets, overhead storage, reading lights, USB chargers, and a small inverter. The expandable rear hard floor tent (when deployed) can easily accommodate 2 children on roll out or inflatable mattresses (not supplied) – room for the whole crew! The Dirt Off Road Campers can also provide Kid-o-bunks to make it even more comfortable for the little ones during longer term stays (optional). The full set-up is extremely flexible and can vary from 30 seconds to 10 minutes depending on how much space you require. The kitchen is well appointed with pressurised hot and cold water to the sink and a 3-burner gas stove, protected by a large popup windshield. An optional 180 Watt portable solar panel supplements the standard 120 Watt roof mounted panel. If you have an Anderson plug, you can also charge from the car as you travel. External and internal 240V power points provide safety switched power to the inside of the camper from an external source (such as a generator or caravan park). We also have a range of sustainable toilet options for extended off grid escapes. To protect your vehicle, we provide a Stone Stomper which prevents stones bouncing off the trailer and into your vehicle, saving you from chipped paint and a broken rear window. If you’re looking to take a well-earned holiday, long or short, the Dirt Adventurer Tvan has you covered. The camper is owned by Mike & Anita Pavey from The Dirt Off Road Campers, SA’s Track Trailer Dealer, and long term Tvan Owners. They have extensive camping experience in the Tvan and are happy to share tips to get the best out of your adventure. With everything you need for 4-seasons touring, the Dirt Adventurer Tvan is suitable for Tasmania in the cooler months or Cape York in the touring season. Features: • Complete cooking and meal prep kit, including: place settings, cutlery, pots, pans, cleaning items and all cooking gear for 4. • 60L Evakool dual zone fridge/freezer included in the insulated front boot. • Full pull-out stainless kitchen with 3 burner cooker. • Camping chairs & table. • Diesel heating and hot water including the shower. • Electronic Brake Controller or use your own. • Onboard dual Lithium batteries, Lithium specific chargers, and roof mounted solar panel. • 108L of water and Jerry can carrier • Quick Cover™ Awning • 3 modes of setup including the rear canvas cover • LPG & diesel initial supplies included • On-site power & water connection • Shower Head Adaptor • Unlimited kms included per week, within reason • National NRMA 24/7 Priority support Each hire includes a detailed handover to help you get the best out of your escape.

Additional information

All bookings made require a deposit within 1 week to secure the hire. OFF-ROAD: Yes, this unit can be taken off road with prior approval - depends on your itinerary - there are some no go zones. Please note your itinerary in detail in your booking request. You will need a heavy-duty air compressor and tyre gauge to correctly deflate tyres to suitable pressures and reinflate when returning to bitumen roads. If you do not own one, we can supply a unit for hire. Please note: you are liable for any damage incurred off-road, including scratches, stone damage, and overheated shock absorbers. The latter typically arises from not adjusting tyre pressures or not driving to suit corrugated conditions, so care and caution are essential. For added protection, we recommend using a spotter to guide you into tight or bush campsites to help avoid accidental damage. SERVICE FEE: As part of our premium service, The Dirt Off Road Campers carry out mechanical check & inspection after each hire to keep it in top condition. The service fee is a once-off fee per hire. If you are hiring the camper for more than 1 week, we strongly recommend installing an Anderson plug with low voltage cut off (to protect your 4wd starting battery) so you can charge the battery as you drive from the alternator. While this is not essential, the Anderson plug provides quicker battery recharging regardless of the weather. ADDITIONAL INCLUSIONS: Unlimited kms included per week, within reason. Electric Brake Controller if needed. National NRMA 24/7 Priority support. HIRING CONDITIONS: No smoking in and around the Tvan. Hirer must be 25 years of age or older with a full license. CLEANING: The Tvan must be returned in the same clean condition as it goes out, both inside and out. A hassle free drop off is available at additional cost if you would prefer not to undertake the cleaning – see “Extra Products” at time of booking. Campers returned dirty will have the cleaning fees applied. If you have any questions, please ask.

    We did not use the TVan because my car had an electrical/towbar issue (which was diagnosed by Jarrad, Mike and Michael at the Dirt) which prevented us from taking off in it.

    The Dirt Adventure TVan was brilliant, very hard to fault. Very comfortable, easy to tow, and to set up. Fantastic for the Oodnadatta Track, which we undertook. The Dirt Off Road Campers staff were great. The lessons on the TVan by Dino was outstanding. I would recommend them to anyone. Very friendly, patient and helpful. Thanks for helping to make our adventure so great. JJ & Steph

    We hired a Tvan and was impressed. This camper is a good piece of kit and built for off-grid exploring, the Tvan handled it all with ease. Setup was quick and surprisingly simple, and the comfort level was great especially with the diesel heater at night. There was heaps of storage, and the kitchen setup made cooking in the middle of nowhere a breeze. Towing was great, lightweight and stable, even on rough roads. You can tell these are designed for the outback. The owner was good to deal withclear instructions and everything was clean and ready to go.

    The Tvan was easy to tow and setup and equipped with everything we needed for our 2 week trip in the outback. The outdoor shower was great, super comfortable bed and plenty of storage space for our belongings. We started our trip in Adelaide, headed up the Birdsville track for the races and came back down to Innamincka on the Strzlecki track and home through the Flinders Ranges. Mike was great to deal with and we would highly recommend booking through him again.

    Great way to try before you buy or just to have a great reliable van to enjoy away. The Tvan was excellent, and dealing with Mike doing the handover was seamless and very simple but in depth would definitely hire again
