Best 4wd Camper van/trailers

It will always depend on your finances and what you want but we have an Adventure Camper and could not be happier. More storage space than you can poke a stick at and you do not have to unload anything to set it up. Well worth a look.

Hi Jinki,
We own a Tvan and a Topaz which is a gross over van A very small off road caravan by track trailer. It has the best of both worlds, can go just about anywhere a bed that is made up all the time, no canvas, an external shower, hot water system, cook in side in bad weather, it ticks all the boxes for us check out both on the track trailer website, we love our Tvan and don't want to sell it but may be commen sense will prevail and we will, also check out the eclipse and quantim cross overs they might also suit. Hope this is of assistance.
If you want to ask me any questions about either mm me

Hi Jinki,

I'll tick the Tvan as well... we took ours 9000k's around the red centre last year including a Simpson Desert crossing. Never a problem!
Our choice for the Tvan over the Ultimate and the KK was one thing in the end... the slide out kitchen! We could have lunch on the side of a track without having to open the trailer to get to the kitchen!!

Personally, IMHO the Tvan is the best off road camper trailer in the business....

Not affiliated in any way, just a happy customer!!

Cheers

It is a very subjective question as everybody will try to justify their own decisions, by saying theirs is the best.
We have Vista RV Crossover, which may be the best for us, but not for you, it totally depends on the individuals application.

As far as I can tell, the biggest downside of the Ultimate is that you can't access the kitchen or the fridge, for roadside cuppas or lunches.

Hi Jinki & Harry,

As there are a lot around and sometimes hard to choose it would help going to your local area Caravan & Camping show. We own a off road 4x4 Onyx camper made by Pioneer Campers in Perth and LOVE it.

Good luck with your decision and enjoy Off Roading.

Hi Jinki & Harry,
would endorse all the comments about the T-Vans and you just drop the floor and lift the lid and your in bed, but as was said we're bias we've got one.

Cheers

If you're looking for a very quick set up we think you can't go past an Aussie Swag off Road hard floor camper..... had some really great times in it and it would go absolutely anywhere....unfortunately we sold it to go to a caravan and then to a VW Crafter motorhome but we find we miss the 4WD times so we're looking to buy a "comfortable" ute with an Oz tent....maybe we don't admit we're getting old but 60's and 80's isn't old is it? Any advice ?

we have a ultimate, great cook inside if its wet, outside kitchens if it is wet you have to put a annex up, easy to tow, set up and put down. there are a few for sale on trading post, lots more head room than a tvan to. mark

Hi
We had an Ultimate for some five years before moving to a Kimberley Karavan. In all the time we had the Ultimate we never had even a minor problem with it. They are well made, very strong and will go anywhere you are game to take your 4X4. We appreciated the inside galley as opposed to an exterior 'Slide Out' especially when the elements outside turn wet or cold. We believe the Ultimate to be the 'Ultimate' two person camper trailer.

Go to a caravan and camping show and try each of them out. Make sure that you have a lie in the bed to see that you are happy with the room you have and that you don't feel claustrophobic. You can rent TVans and other models to try out. I am not sure about the Kimberley Kampers and Ultimates.

We have an Ultimate and have camped in it for over 300 nights. We would not swap it for any other camper; I have also tried TVans and Kimberley Kampers and think that neither provide that same level of comfort, space and luxury as the Ultimate. There is a lot of mis-information generated by Ultimate competitors about cooking inside, making the bed etc, etc.
Keep in mind that in the great Australian outdoors there are many insects to annoy and sting you and your partner; this is not a problem with the Ultimate as you are inside and protected.

If we want to boil up a cuppa we use one of those $15 butane stoves. We also have a fridge in the back of the truck so accessing food for lunch is never a problem.
If you can afford and Ultimate then for it. If you buy a second hand one as we did, then you will get your money back when you sell it.

Hi Jinki
Check these.
Journeyman Camper
I went to Qld and was given a thorough look at the early model.
I was very impressed with the thoughtfulness and thoroughness of the design and the quality of construction. The proprietor, Ross, will send you extra info and a short video that illustrates the ease and speed of set-up.
It is specifically designed for two people. When set up it takes up no more space than it does on the road.
I plan to take my treasurer and social secretary for an inspection before (hopefully receiving authorisation) placing an order.
Whatever you decide, I hope you will enjoy it.
cheers

Many thanks to all for your very helpful thoughts and info - lots to look at which we will do over next two weeks. Will try out first by hiring for a few days etc.

We will at the Visitor Centre Milparinka from 28th April as volunteers should any of you be passing that way, call in and say hello.

Thanks again and happy 4wdriving to you all.
