Talk to us about longer rentals prior to booking 👉🏻 Our email: admin@wombatcampers.com Henry is a recently converted fully Off-grid High Roof VW T5 Transporter. Equipped with a diesel heater, fitted with quality interior and supplied with essential camping accessories. Henry is compact, but spacious for when you are parked and has an automatic gear box for easy driving and air-conditioning. Experience Tasmania in Euro-chic style on a comfortable rear facing couch for that evening cocktail with a sunset view and front facing couch for a cooler morning breakfast! When extended our comfy bed is 1,2m x 2m in size featuring a nice firm foam mattress and linen included in the rental. Inside you will find everything you need, including a wooden worktop with a sink and running water (39L water tank + 30L waste tank) with a rear hose for a quick rinse off (cold water only). You can top up the water tank at any campsite through the outside inlet with a hose (usually provided at campsites). A top-loader 30L fridge is big enough for two and drives out on sliders for loading. You can also easily access it by lifting a part of the worktop. Plenty of shelve storage for your clothes and under the bed for your bags. For cooking there is a pull-out outdoor kitchen cooktop with gas stove + camping crockery and utensils. Camping chairs and table are included. Roof vent has LED lights and a fan (blowing in or out at various speeds). You can power Henry up with a folding solar panel (if booked) during the day or simply while driving. There is a USB & USB-C charging point + a 12V socket available for bigger electronics (laptop, drone etc). Bring your own 12V charger or adaptor or let us know if you want to rent one! Removable reflective window covers are included in the rental. They will keep the heat inside, when it gets cooler, or protect from the sun when it's hot.

    We had an amazing time in the Van. It was such a beautiful little home and we loved that it transformed from a spacious living area into a cozy bed to suit whatever we wanted. It came equipped with everything we could think off. Our favourite part was pulling up to beautiful views and having a drink looking out the back in the comfy seats. Anna & Alex were both wonderful to communicate with. They were so great and friendly with lots of helpful tips and so accomodating in assisting us with anything that popped up throughout the trip. We could not recommend Anna, Alex, and Henry the Wombat chaser any more highly!! :)

    I had a fantastic holiday using this van. It was clean, comfortable, warm and had everything I needed. The handover was very thorough and I felt well equipped to tackle my first campervan trip solo.
