Frequently Asked Questions
Are there any restrictions on where I

Trailer with a Hire Vehicle?

Do the Camper Trailers take
long to set up?
Our Camper Trailer set up is usually less than 5 minutes,
depending on familiarity with the procedure. Full
training and a procedures manual will be provided
to assist you. If stopping for longer than overnight,
we recommend the awning walls are fitted.
Are the Camper Trailers
fitted out with cooking equipment?
The Jayco range has a 3 burner Gas stove with one
240v element with pots and pans.
The Camprite has a 2 burner Gas stove with pots and
pans
What about refrigeration?
The Jayco range are fitted with a 3 way 90 litre fridge/freezer
(12v, 240v or Gas). Additional refrigeration can be
supplied by hiring one of our Engel 12v / 240v units.
The Camprite campers are not fitted with fridges,
however we can hire you a 12v/240v Engel fridge/freezer.
Are the campers fitted out with lights?
All Camper Trailers are fitted with 12v lights.
For extended stop overs, we recommend you hire one
of our 1000w Inverter Generators to safely run your
additional appliances as well as recharge the trailers
battery.
How will we get on for
water?
The Jayco range have 90 litre water tanks and the
Camprite carries 100 litres of water. Additional water
can be carried in jerry cans which we can hire to
you.
Are the Campers waterproof
and dustproof?
The manufacturers of our Campers have used comprehensive
design features to stop the ingress of water and dust.
Do I have to remake
the beds after each days travel?
The beds can be left made up when packing up for a
days travel. This ensures a quick set up at your destination.
What if we have
to pack up in damp conditions?
Simply fit the plastic bed covers and pack up the
trailer. Your beds will be nice and dry when you set
up at your next destination.
Who should we contact if we
get into trouble?
Firstly, contact the Emergency Services if there is
any threat to life or limb.
If you intend exploring remote parts of Australia,
remember distances are long, areas are sparsely populated
and climatic conditions can be extreme. In your planning,
consider a full range of recovery gear, spare parts
and tools, a generous allowance for water, food, first
aid kit and communications. Just ask us and we can
assist you to ensure you are well prepared.
