Your Premium Camper Van Experience in Australia!

Modern aluminium flatbed tray manufacturing techniques have significantly increased the strength of trays. This has reduced your load to 723 kg, giving you a maximum of 545kg for a slide on camper and any additional gear you want to take. The reality is we now have strict rules for vehicle payloads which are enforced by traffic departments and insurance claims are scrutinised to determine if the vehicle was “overloaded“.
Aussie Roadrunner motor homes are for serious campers who love to be on the road for months or years at a time. Featuring all the mod cons from home, our motor homes are luxuriously fitted out moon chair camping with high quality furniture, contemporary kitchen, plenty or storage space and more. Our motor homes allow you to simply hop into the drivers cabin and you are off on your next journey.

There is a range of solar panel options that can be tailored to individual needs. The manufacturer claims that the Victron Phoenix inverter pictured below is designed to output pure Sine Wave AC power which is perfect for sensitive electronics and so is suitable for the widest range of applications. Appliances such as a 12V/240V TV or a laptop can be operated by plugging directly into a 12V supply using a particular cord designed for that particular appliance. Each cord has a transformer built into it to convert the 12 V DC current supplied by the battery to what is required for the particular appliance.
This means it’s more focussed on tent trailer-style outdoor living, than the live-in comforts of a scaled-down caravan. But apart from its standard wrap-around bat-wing awning, it doesn’t have any canvas. The Linak LA36 actuators are arguably amongst the most advanced models from the world’s leading manufacturer of actuators. They have heavy-duty aluminium housing for harsh conditions and are protected against dust and water to the extent that they can be washed down with a high-pressure cleaner. They allow the roof to be raised or lowered using a toggle switch.
The Tong Camper is designed specifically for use with 4-wheel drive, tray-backed vehicles. By the nature of these vehicles, they are intended for off road use. The Tong Camper is attached to your vehicle tray using four M10 heavy duty bolts. This is the only system of attachment that is offered for the Tong Camper.

Designed to break free from the constraints of traditional camping. Our campers' innovative and versatile 12 volt design empowers you to embark on extraordinary off-grid adventures like never before. Just like the Ford Ranger and Toyota Hilux, Decamper campers are built to withstand the rigors of the Australian outback.
On arrival it can then be demounted to form the centre of the campsite, while the vehicle can then be used for daily exploration. First and foremost, we love to travel around Australia in our Northern Lite Australian Ultimate Camper. We have been doing for many years and have learnt a lot about slide-on campers and what is needed to travel in comfort and enjoy each and every journey.

This will quickly help you identify the best value for money. The dry weight for this class of camper across the industry ranges dramatically from around 370 kg to 1000 kg depending on the manufacturer and accessories. Check out our guide for choosing a slide on camper below for more in-depth information, including a full loadout example with weights, and payload calculations. Most utes in Australia typically have a 500kg – 1000kg payload capacity depending on manufacturer specifications. In Australia the majority of utes are European or Japanese brands, which are smaller than American vehicles, providing limited space in a tub.
All electric fittings and fixtures such as the NovaKool fridges are sourced and installed in Australia. If you have ever driven one of these utes you will know how appealing a prospect they are – if not, do not be put  off by their generous proportions; they’re a lot of fun. In conclusion, your Toyota Hilux becomes an even more formidable companion when paired with a Decamper slide-on camper. Whether you choose the Dual Cab, Extra Cab, Single Cab, or Ute Tray model of camper, you'll experience the freedom to roam, explore, and camp with ease. Decamper's commitment to quality and versatility ensures that your adventures with your Toyota Hilux are nothing short of extraordinary.
The usual procedure is to join this plug to a second Anderson plug which is attached to the vehicle. It is usual to have a second battery connected into this system with this battery being located either in the vehicle or in the slide-on. In the slide-on, the 12 Volt system operates the lights, the refrigerator, the water pump and the ignition systems for the internal cooktop and the hot water system. It would also be required to operate the actuators and the inverter if they were fitted. With a slide-on camper, campers don’t need to tow a trailer, which means less strain on the vehicle and the environment.

Whether you’re exploring untamed landscapes or enjoying a weekend getaway, our campers offer unparalleled quality and convenience. Our motorhomes offer fantastic value and like all of our RV products have a high resale value as people know we build our products to last. When you come to Beyond, you speak directly with people who have 10 years of building durable, reliable, quality and luxury campers. It depends on the truck, the truck’s rated payload, and the size and weight of the camper you have in mind. Most half-ton pickup trucks out there, however, have much less payload, usually around 1,600 pounds.
