Our Jayco Discovery Outback is a great van for 2-4 people, whether you're at a caravan park or going completely off-grid! It's got a double bed at one end next to a toilet/shower, and seating for 4-5 people at the other end which converts into two bunks if needed. Inside there's a heater and air conditioner to keep you warm or cool, there's heaps of cupboard space, a big 150L fridge (enough for 4-5 days' food for 5 people!), and a TV. As a dual axle van, it's got plenty of load capacity for storing food, clothes, games and other holiday fun activities. It's also fully set up for off-grid life with lithium batteries, solar, an inverter, 160L of fresh water and a diesel heater to stay warm without power. It's the perfect van for a week or two at a caravan park, or a longer journey off-grid! FEATURES: --------- * Sleeps 2-4 people - double bed + 2 bunks at seating area * Seating for 5 people around cafe eating area * Toilet + shower combo * Hot water service * Air conditioning / heating * 150L fridge * Heaps of cupboard space OFF-GRID CAPABILITY: ------------------ If you're after some time off-grid, you'll welcome these features which allow you comfort while enjoying life completely off-grid! * 100Ah lithium battery standard, but upgrade to a whopping 320Ah lithium for full off-grid capability for just $15 extra per day! You can even run the A/C off-grid for a couple of hours with this kit! * 3000W inverter (will even run the A/C for an hour or two in extreme heat!) * Diesel heater * Roof-top solar with separate solar input for a portable panel * 160L onboard fresh water * Gas hot water service * Option to travel on dirt roads (subject to approval depending where you plan to go) OFF-ROAD USE CONDITIONS: ------------------------- Check out the Special Towing Information section at the bottom of this page.

The two bunk beds are 186cm long and 73cm wide - the bunks are good for people up to about 1.75m so there's enough room for a pillow.

Special towing information

If you plan to tow the van yourself, you must be sufficiently experienced with towing in order to be covered in the event of an accident. Please share your towing experience as part of your booking request. Additionally, your vehicle must have the following: 1) A towing capacity of at least 2.5 tonnes. Check with your vehicle's owner's manual what your maximum towing capacity is if you're not sure 2) A 7 pin flat socket like this to accept the caravan wiring connector: https://www.jaycar.com.au/7-pin-flat-trailer-socket/p/PS2051. If your vehicle has a different connector, we do have some adapters available for hire (please contact us if you're interested), or you can supply your own. 3) An electric brake controller and towing mirrors, however we have both available for hire if you don't have either of these. See the 'Optional Extras' section when you make your booking. 4) A standard 50mm tow ball. If you're not sure just send us a message, or select the Deliver option and we can likely deliver it to site for you. πŸ˜€ INCLUDED DISTANCE? ------------------- If you're towing it yourself, your hire fee includes 150km of travel per day of hire, as tracked by the onboard GPS tracker, and excess kilometres are charged at 20c/km. This helps keep the hire fee reasonable for everyone. You are allowed to travel more than 150km in a single day, so long as the total distance across your whole trip is less than 150km x the number of days of your hire. For example, a 5 day booking would give you 750km included (150km x 5 days) to use however you want throughout your trip. OFF-ROAD USE CONDITIONS: ------------------------- This is a semi off-road van, and some of the best places in Australia are accessed via dirt roads, gravel roads or tracks. However these types of surfaces invariably put vehicles at a higher risk of damage than on sealed roads, and incurs greater wear and tear on a vehicle's tyres, suspension and other components. While this wear may not be obvious from your trip (i.e. nothing may actually break during your trip), the wear will nonetheless have occurred and will necessitate repairs down the track (e.g. additional stress on springs will eventually cause them to break). As such, special conditions apply for off-road use. 1) You must provide us an itinerary of your intended route and the types of roads this entails when you place your booking 2) You must be sufficiently experienced with the type of roads you'll be travelling 3) Subject to 1) and 2), an additional off-roading fee may be charged to cover the increased wear the van will sustain while on dirt roads. This will depend on the conditions of the road and the duration of your booking, but will usually be $25-$100/day depending on the situation. 4) Any departure from the agreed itinerary or road types, as per the GPS tracker, may incur additional charges 5) Off-road use without permission will result in off-road charges being applied to your booking

    From start to end Greg, Mim and their Van were superb. After an unfortunate start to our family trip meant we needed to make new plans quickly, Greg & Mim had has sorted within a couple of hours. Nothing was too much trouble, they had their van and extras ready, offered delivery and provided a 90 minute in person training session on all the things us amateurs needed to know to have a successful trip. Greg & Mim are the loveliest people, we felt supported and encouraged the whole time we had their van, and they were available if/when we needed guidance. The van itself was fantastic for a family of 2 adults and 2 young children. With the fridge/freezer, microwave and cook top we were able to enjoy a fantastic holiday without having to blow out the budget on takeaway and meals out. We had intended to do free camping which the van is fully equipped for, but due to sickness decided to stay at powered sites in parks. We didnt end up using the ensuite as we had no need, but again with the training we were provided this would have been an easy option had we needed/wanted to. When we returned the van, there was a concern with the awning function that we hadnt noticed and at all times Greg and Min have been approachable, clear communication, and very lovely to deal with. Its a huge thing to trust someone with their van, and were grateful to have been able to use this van and create some really precious memories with our kids. Highly recommend hiring this Van!

    We had a great time away in the van, was so much easier to set up that our camper trailer we used to own. It was easy to tow and the AC was fantastic when it was hot for a few days.

    We booked the van for a weekend off grid and were very happy with it. It is clean, well featured and tows nicely. The bed is very comfortable and having a hot shower and 240v power are luxuries we haven't previously experienced while camping! The van is fit out so that you essentially just pack clothes and food - everything you would need to operate off grid is provided. Greg and Mim were very thorough with the handover and great to deal with - we will certainly hire again should we have the need - thank you both for making the experience easy and enjoyable!

    Greg & Mim gave us a clear explanation & demonstration of the functionalities of the van, which was set up with everything we needed. A very enjoyable holiday experience. We would gladly hire this caravan again.

Hi there and welcome! :) We did over two years of caravanning around Australia with our family of three kids between 2017 and 2025, including a full-time 12 month trip during 2020. It was an amazing experience while our kids were of travel age, so now we're sharing the experience we learned from full-time travel with our newer vans, so you can share some of the amazing experiences we've had!
