    Third Time Renting Hector Still Outstanding! This was our third time renting Hector the camper trailer, and once again everything was absolutely fantastic. The trailer is incredibly easy to tow and so comfortable to sleep in it really makes camping feel effortless and relaxed. Michael is always such a pleasure to deal with: friendly, responsive, and genuinely cares that you have a great experience. Hes also put so much thought into upgrading Hector virtually instant hot water, the ability to charge 240V appliances, and excellent solar power. We were completely off-grid all week without a single issue. Its clear how well cared for and thoughtfully set up this camper is. Reliable, comfortable, and stress-free every time. We wouldnt look anywhere else and cant recommend Michael and Hector highly enough!

    Great van to tow, had no issues towing it behind our stock hybrid Cannon Alpha to cathedrals on fraser island. Stairs made accessing the tent much easier than a ladder. The water lasted us 3 days and nights with a little to spare.

    Amazing! This was camping in style for us..We were in locations with no power or running water so having solar power, hot water, lights and a hot shower made it luxurious. Mike was great with his communications, videos showing how to setup and take down things. The van was in excellent condition and very clean with so many extras like the bbq, hot shower, cleaning products etc The wrap around awning provided so much shade and the bed was very comfortable. I'd highly recommend this van!

    Mick was so helpful from the onset through the handover and return process. Hector towed like an absolute dream. The trailer had everything we needed for our off grid adventure. I will definitely be renting Hector from Mick again.

    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!

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.
