Luxury 4x4 Motorhomes and Expedition Vehicles

When something breaks, that could mean an end to your trip, huge delay in a nearby town, complete isolation or injury and a very costly experience. It is too easy to be attracted to the bells and whistles and aesthetics. Eliminate any slide on from your list if it means you will exceed the GVM of your vehicle. To be used for weekend campers, but also sustain long-distance touring. Typically a box design with a oyster shell that folds over the side or the rear.
The elegant solution is a simple, manual mechanism that avoids these risks altogether. Or at least a manual override that allows you to use the camper air tent even if the electrics were to fail. We expect every product to have a warranty these days, however, some products require it more than others.

They differ from the sliding window in that the whole window area can be opened rather than just half and they will let in less rain if left open when it is raining. The downside is that they protrude from the side of the van by an extra 60 mm in a specially built housing. Sail track could be mounted in a number of locations to suit individual requirements. There are a number of different off-the-shelf awnings available that could be mounted on the side of the roof underneath the window. The awning extension slides into a sail track fixed to the roof so that it can hang down to the ground over the three sides of the fold out awning.
We outlined 3 classes of slide on campers, their weights and rough price ranges for each. Ultimately, if you only have 550kg left of your payload after you subtract all the gear and people, this will limit you to a class 1 and 2 slide on camper. Well, when you are in the Outback, travelling 1000s of kilometres of harsh off-road conditions, you, your vehicle and camper are put to the test. Slide on campers travel further and deeper than caravans and trailers, they take a beating.
Computer designed to your specifications, Aussie Roadrunner motorhomes are extremely light weight, super spacious and feature fully equipped kitchens and full sized bathrooms. To qualify for insurance with KT, your slide-on needs to have inbuilt eating, sleeping, food preparation and food storage facilities. In addition to this, your tow vehicle must also be insured with KT Insurance for us to be able to offer cover for your slide-on. As for the cost, they usual range from AUD $5,000-25,000 depending on the material on which the camper was built and the accompanying features.

They do not keep the cold or heat in or out so heating and/or air conditioning is mostly useless. They are lighter and fold up when travelling and for access to the towbar.  Folded up with the camper off the truck allows the camper to sit lower to the ground making it more stable and allowing an easy two step entrance. Because the tray on the Fuso Canter is a lot higher than Northern Lite were designed for we have added a second set of steps, Torklift GlowStep Revolution, for safe secure access to the camper on the truck.
This is because of their quick-disconnect handle which makes adjustment extraordinarily fast and convenient. This stainless steel turnbuckle comes in sets of two and are spring-loaded with spring tension indicators that ensure proper installation. What’s also really awesome about the FastGun is that it’s made from stainless steel and is high-impact powder coated to keep it from rusting. There are also FastGun locks that we have made specifically to prevent your camper and the investment you’ve made in it from being stolen. Achieve a safe and stable entry to your slide on truck camper or RV with the Original GlowStep system.

It was really only the caravan builders who made them and their concept was to just build a caravan that sits on your ute. Once you have decided to go down the ute camper path, a path of mobility and durability, it becomes a question of which type of ute camper suits your needs. A trailer can have extra axles, wheels, tires, brakes, and suspension that can substantially increase your risk of equipment failure. Since most of Australia is remote and uninhabitable when you travel through these areas you could be away from civilisation for 1000 kms in any direction. Retired people tend to head north in the winter and south in the summer. That may seem illogical to you, but remember we are in the Southern Hemisphere.
If so, you'll want to equip your trusty Hilux with a slide-on camper that perfectly complements your adventurous spirit. Decamper introduces a range of slide-on campers designed  to match the rugged capabilities of your Toyota Hilux. That’s where Trayon’s custom ‘Gullwing Cruiser’ turn-key touring solution comes in.
Fully insulated, during the summer, our campers remain cool, and during the winter, toasty and warm. Compact, light, streamline and spacious, the Northstar 600SS is the ideal camping solution for couples who love the outdoor active holiday. It is essential to have a reliable power supply to travel in complete comfort and safety.

We also have recently fitted our new Aussie Base Station to a Fuso Canter. This could be fitted to other light trucks such as the Isuzu NPS. The Ford Ranger, Mazda BT50, Nissan Navara and Toyota Landcruiser fitted with lazy axles are the most popular. Many of the systems that we have been installing for years are now being introduced by caravans and motorhomes.
