Your Off-Grid Escape Starts Here with Hector the Hardkorr Xplorer Meet Hector the Hardkorr Xplorer – a fully equipped, pet-friendly rooftop camper trailer designed for comfort, capability, and adventure. Whether you're planning a weekend away or a multi-week road trip, Hector is your go-anywhere, do-anything basecamp on wheels. Built tough for the Australian outdoors, but packed with thoughtful creature comforts, Hector strikes the perfect balance between rugged adventure and modern glamping. Hot showers, cold drinks, comfy bedding, and a proper kitchen – this isn’t roughing it. It’s camping, upgraded. Fully kitted out with a slide-out stainless steel kitchen, 110L slide-out fridge/freezer, two prep benches, and a Ziggy single burner BBQ, Hector is ready for whatever journey you’ve got in mind.

The owner has spared no expense to make your experience more comfortable and hassle-free. To enjoy a hot shower off-grid, simply flick the switch to begin heating (give it a moment to warm up), plug in the supplied shower rose at the external outlet, and adjust the temperature with the built-in dial – turn right for cool, left for hot. That’s it – no gas bottles, no complicated hose setups, just clean, consistent hot water wherever your adventure takes you. 🔋 Power, Solar & Onboard Systems Full 12V setup powered by 300Ah AGM battery bank (lithium upgrade planned for late 2025 and inverter installation) 2 x 170W solar panels (340W total) to keep batteries charged off-grid 12V Anderson plug supplied to charge Hector's battery system whilst you drive 240V power inlet to run Hector off 240V power if staying at a powered site.

    Another Incredible Experience Even Better the Second Time! This was our second time hiring Hector the Hardkorr camper trailer, and once again it was absolutely fantastic. Michael continues to be an exceptional hostefficient, thoughtful, and genuinely caring throughout the whole rental process. Everything was just as spotless, reliable, and well-equipped as we remembered. It honestly felt like picking up a brand-new trailer again. This time we towed the trailer ourselves, and it was surprisingly easy and handled beautifully on the road. Setup and pack down were a breeze (even easier this time!), thanks to Michaels clear instructions and the smart layout of the camper. The rooftop area was super comfortable, and the whole setup made our camping trip feel effortless and enjoyable. Were already planning to hire from Michael again. If youre looking for a compact, functional, and extremely well-maintained camper with a host who goes above and beyond every timelook no further. Thanks again, Michael, for another brilliant trip!

    Hector had everything you needed and more. Absolutely loved it and if I need to go off-grid this van is perfect.

    HECTOR made our camping experience very easy. Loads of storage space. All accessories were provided and good quality. We are experienced campers and couldnt think of anything else we could have used over our trip. Bed was comfy. Light to tow and Mick made the whole hiring process easy. Very thorough handover. Would definitely take Hector out again on another trip.

    This was the perfect camper trailer for my off-grid holiday. Michael had included the dual zone fridge and installed an electric hot water system, which performed perfectly...no messing around with gas systems. The upgrades Michael has made to the camper made it a dream to use, and I cannot thank him enough for enabling what was a bucket list trip for me.

    What an awesome camper Hector was. Michael the owner has thought of everything. It is literally an Air BNB on wheels. Tows brilliantly. Super comfy mattress, great hot shower, plenty of room under the pull out awning to shelter from the weather. Honestly, couldn't fault it. Michael made the booking process a breeze and the handover was very informative. Highly recommend this. Will def hire Hecktor again!!

Hi my name is Michael or Mick for short. I am fairly new to the camping world. I started off with a swag and in September 2024 I upgraded to an off-grid camper trailer. I want to share my passion and enthusiasm for camping and exploring our beautiful country.
