Why hire before you buy?
Buying an RV is a big decision. Brochures and showroom walk-throughs only tell part of the story.
How does it tow on hills? Is there enough bench space to cook a proper meal? Will your family actually be comfortable after a week on the road?
On Camplify, you hire directly from owners who live with their vans. They'll tell you the good bits and the quirks. Some will even deliver to your campsite so you can start your test trip without the stress of a first-time tow.
With over 14,000 caravans, motorhomes and campervans listed across Australia, chances are the exact model you're considering is already available to hire.
