A slide-on camper is simply a ute camper that slides onto the back of a pickup/utility vehicle that has a flat tray or platform it can be mounted on. The idea is that we can put less than totally clean water in our fresh water tank and use this water for showers and washing. The RO system filters this water to 99.9% pure giving us clean, safe drinking water. The system has its own 10-liter storage tank which is pressurised and we have a second faucet on the sink for the finished product. As you should expect with a 10-foot tall vehicle, there is some sway, but most people are pleasantly surprised. My camper with a boat in tow is better than towing with a caravan.
Similarly they were putting truck campers on dual cab Australian utes which had the rear axle virtually adjacent to the rear door of the truck.

The main entry door is unusual in that, as well as having a vertical section like most doors, it also has a horizontal protrusion at the top of the door which covers an open section behind the doorway. The effect is similar to having a “man hole” over the top of the doorway, so entering the Innovan does not require bending over to go through the doorway. An upright stance can be maintained by walking up the steps through the “man hole”. This door can be locked from the outside with a key which is different from the storage compartment keys. From inside the van, the door can be locked by simply lifting up the lever type handle.
Check out our recent article detailing the differences between slide-on and off-road camper trailers. Both the slide on and slide in campers consist of a self-contained camping unit placed directly onto the back of a ute. More and more tracks are closing access to trailers in the Australian outback both for environmental and safety concerns. The tow vehicle is subjected to hauling through dunes and mud, this causes wheel spin and as a consequence more damage to the tracks.

We were hit head on by a fully loaded 90 tonne road and survived. Always available to help with queries in a friendly efficient way.

This type of camper is considered as entry-level and the features are very basic. You can have a small space for storage, a slide-out outdoor kitchen, and limited equipment for cooking or entertainment. Pop tops make it hard to have much on the roof due to the weight factor.
Truck Camper is the term used predominantly in America, but also many other countries, to describe a Camper Van that sits on the back of a truck. That makes sense but for some reason here in Australia we tend to call them Slide-Ons, which is slightly weird as they don’t slide on, you have to jack them up and drive under them. When you remove them does that mean they should be called slide-offs? It would be easier, I guess to get one to slide off rather than on. We like the term Truck Camper because it aptly describes what they are.
You may not find the bigger trucks as useful to get around town in. They are totally responsive and patient and have helped us with any question, however trivial it might be.

One driver in the Riverina district of NSW stated the Fuso he was driving had over 1 million kilometers on the clock and it was the best vehicle the company had ever had. He also said that in 28 years in the business the number of times he had actually had to tow a Fuso was negligible. High praise indeed and his opinion was echoed by tow truck operators in the Northern Territory on the Barkly Highway and also the Sunshine Coast in Queensland. I doubt I would have met any of them if I had a Fuso in the first place.

LED lights use a lot less electrical energy than conventional lights and they produce much less heat and so will not cause a burn or a fire as other types of bulbs might do. There are two lights located on the outside of the back wall under the awning, two in the storage compartment and in the interior of the unit, there are six adjustable reading and work lights and one strip light. The serious off road campers, like the Jackson, specifically maintain a low roof line, when closed, for that very reason.
