Ainsley,

Seen plenty of cars, utes and trailers, with roof top tents fitted this year. Maybe a good way to go, as it leaves you plenty of room for all the other "stuff".

As Maz has suggested, a R/T tent mounted on ladder racks above the tray gives you shade, to some degree, and plenty of room for fridges, stoves, tables and chairs. I wouldn't get carried away with too much flash gear. Just keep it simple and light weight, until you sort out what you'll need.

Even those little single burner stoves, with gas canister($7 for 4, at Kmart in the Isa) would be enough to knock up a feed. Folding table and couple of camp chairs. And don't forget a $40 Coleman 12v shower, and a bucket for the hot water.

We did a couple of trips in my old work ute, before getting the camper shown in my profile page.





The only mods I did was to add a Merit socket for the fridge, and a dual ciggy socket for lights, and cut a slot in the sideboard, so a chain would support it as a table. Had 2 large plastic boxes either side, and a third, smaller one, with almost everything else placed between the boxes, or on top, and tied down.

Worked well for us.

Have a look at a slide-on-camper. I have a Cameron camper trailer and would recommend their products but they are in SA - a long way from WA.
If you did your research you would find a good quality slide-on-camper in WA.
As with camper trailers you get what you pay for. Some are cheap but fall to bits and others are over priced. Do your research and you should be able to get a quality product for a reasonable price.
