DriveNow's take: vehicle |  Jack's takeA spacious budget-friendly HiTop campervan that comfortably suits couples or small groups wanting a practical and affordable road trip setup. The high-top single bed packs away to keep the main cabin usable during the day. About Camperman Juliette 2-3 HiTopJack's takeThis spacious HiTop campervan hits the sweet spot for couples or small groups wanting a practical road trip without breaking the bank. The high-top single bed packs away during the day, so you keep full use of the main cabin for cooking and hanging out. After a week on the road, it stays comfortable for two people. Three travellers will feel more cramped and need to stay organised with storage and cleaning. The trade-off for the great pricing is you're getting an older vehicle model — but Camperman's strong customer service makes up for it. They offer good support when you have questions on the road, and their inclusive pricing takes the confusion out of booking. While there are better options for first-timers, this van works if you want to save money and don't mind an older model. Before you drive off, check the vehicle thoroughly and list any damage on the rental agreement. Ask the depot staff to show you how to set up the overhead bed — it's worth getting the demo. |  Julie's takeLet's Go Escape is measures 6.19m — making it one of the most compact campervans in their fleet. You can set up the bed as two singles or a double. About Let’s Go EscapeJulie's takeAt 6.19m, it's one of the most compact campervans in their fleet — great news for first-time drivers who want something manageable on the road. You can configure the sleeping setup as either two single beds or one double bed, depending on your preference. After a week on the road, you'll find the living space cozy but comfortable enough for two adults. The trade-off with this compact size is exactly that — you're getting a smaller living space. It's perfectly adequate for a couple, but don't expect room to spread out. One important tip: book powered sites for your overnight stays. Don't rely on the solar panels alone to keep your power up. And despite being one of the smaller campervans in the fleet, you still won't fit through fast food drive-throughs — the height will get you every time. | Julie's take Design for a small family with a young child on a budget. It has all the basics: fridge, toilet/shower, microwave, stove, heating & A/C. About Mighty Deuce PlusJulie's takeThis van is designed for a small family with a young child on a budget. You get all the basics — fridge, toilet/shower, microwave, stove, heating and air conditioning — without breaking the bank. If you're just a couple, you can set up a permanent dining area at the front. After a week, you'll appreciate that it delivers good value for money with all the essential features of a campervan. The trade-off is storage. Make sure you pack soft bags — hard luggage will eat up space quickly. There's some storage, but not enough for bulky items. This works well for first-timers who are couples, single travellers, or small families with a young child. You get everything you need without the bank account pain. When you pick it up, take photos of the vehicle and dashboard. Check the fuel level and make sure the gas bottle is full. | Jack's take A practical and budget-friendly HiTop campervan that provides the basics well. The full standing height makes everyday tasks like cooking, changing clothes, and relaxing inside much more comfortable than flat-top camper alternatives. About Travellers Autobarn HiTopJack's takeA practical and budget-friendly HiTop campervan that provides the basics well. The full standing height makes everyday tasks like cooking, changing clothes, and relaxing inside much more comfortable than flat-top camper alternatives. This vehicle works best for backpackers, solo travellers, or couples on a budget. After a week it remains comfortable for two people, while three travellers will appreciate the flexibility but need to manage storage carefully. Soft luggage is a must if travelling with 3 people. If you're travelling as a couple, you can use the single bed area for daytime storage to keep the living space uncluttered. The trade-off for the more affordable price is that you're getting a well-loved vehicle rather than one of the newer options. You can expect minor superficial wear and tear, but Travellers Autobarn still maintain their vehicles throughout their lifetime on their fleet. This is a beginner-friendly vehicle — easy to drive with most of the essentials. Book in at campgrounds that have toilet and shower facilities to make up for the lack of those facilities in the vehicle. When planning your stays, you can do some off-grid camping but make sure to connect to a powered campsite every 2nd or 3rd night to recharge the house battery. | Jack's take A well-balanced and highly practical HiTop campervan that comfortably suits couples or small groups wanting an easy all-round road trip vehicle. The Kuga has a double bed and an overhead single bed, making it flexible for 3 people to split travel costs. About Travellers Autobarn KugaJack's takeThe Kuga is Travellers Autobarn's most popular vehicle for good reason. This well-balanced HiTop campervan hits the sweet spot for couples or small groups wanting an easy all-round road trip vehicle without breaking the bank. The layout works. You get a double bed downstairs and an overhead single bed, so three people can travel together and split costs. If you're a couple, use that top bunk area for storage — it frees up serious living space below. This is a mid-range option leaning toward the budget end. You won't get the newest vehicle model with all the latest gear, but you get a solid, basic camper that does the job. The mix of modern fit-outs (2018-2025 internal) and practical layout explains why it's consistently popular. First-time campers find the Kuga easy to drive and straightforward to set up. It's tailored toward backpackers, so the functionality is basic — no complicated systems to figure out. The trade-off is space and storage. If you're travelling with three people, stay on top of cleaning and pack soft luggage you can store away. Storage is limited, so organisation matters. After five days on the road, the Kuga still works well for couples. With three people, it gets tight, but the practical layout means you can make it work if everyone pulls their weight. | Jack's take A budget friendly, compact and easy-to-drive HiTop camper that fits 2–3 people for Tasmania road trips. The extra roof height makes a huge difference when you're cooking, or just escaping bad weather. About Tasmania Campers Devil FinderJack's takeThis is Tasmania Campers' budget option — a compact HiTop that's straightforward and less intimidating than larger motorhomes. The extra roof height makes a real difference when you're cooking or sheltering from Tasmania's changeable weather. You're looking at an older vehicle with simple fittings and some wear and tear, but that's the trade-off for affordability. Tasmania Campers keeps them maintained and roadworthy. The manual transmission and petrol engine make it better suited to travellers comfortable with manual vehicles, especially if you're heading to regional areas. For couples or close friends, it works well. Add a third person and space gets tight after about a week — you'll need to stay on top of tidiness and empty rubbish regularly. First-timers on a budget can handle this van, but there are easier options if money isn't the main concern. One practical tip: pack soft bags instead of hard suitcases. Flexible storage makes life much easier in a smaller camper. | Jack's take A simple, budget-friendly hitop that's easy to drive and economical — good for backpackers, solo travellers or couples on a budget exploring Tasmania. The optional camp table and chairs create an indoor-outdoor setup that makes it feel much bigger once you settle into camp. About Tasmania Campers Trail Finder 2/3Jack's takeThis is a simple, budget-friendly hitop that's easy to drive and economical. It works well for backpackers, solo travellers or couples on a budget exploring Tasmania. The optional camp table and chairs are worth getting — they create an indoor-outdoor setup that makes the van feel much bigger once you settle into camp. After five days it stays comfortable for two people, though three will definitely notice the tighter storage and living space. The trade-off is straightforward: you give up modern camper features in exchange for a practical, budget-friendly option. There are more suitable choices for first-time hirers, but this vehicle is adequate enough to get the job done while helping with your budget. Do a thorough walkthrough before leaving the depot and ask Tasmania Campers' staff about your route if you're unsure about any roads or locations. In Tasmania, avoid driving at dawn, dusk, or overnight — there are many small animals and roadkill is common. You don't want the extra stress of damaging the vehicle while on hire. |  Stuart's takeYour Maui Elite model will be a new vehicle, ranging between 0 to 1 year of age — Maui Elite is the only campervan brand that are guaranteed to be under 1 year old. The Ultima Plus Elite has been designed for a young family of 2 adults and a child or teenager. About Maui Elite Ultima Plus EliteStuart's takeYour Maui Elite model will be a new vehicle, ranging between 0 to 1 year of age. Maui Elite is the only campervan brand that are guaranteed to be under 1 year old. The Ultima Plus Elite has been designed for a young family of 2 adults and a child or teenager. The spacious double bed is paired with a single bed that's shorter in length and narrower in width — suitable for a teenager or smaller child. The 3rd seat is located behind the driver's seat, and with walk-through access and front swivel seats, you're close enough to attend to your child while on the road. This is the leader in luxury. Your vehicle comes fully equipped with bedding and linen, complete kitchen kit (plates, bowls, cutlery, bottle opener, can opener, colander, saucepans, frying pans, cooking utensils, chopping board, kettle, toaster, and tea towel), toilet, shower, central cabin heating and cooling, touchscreen display with radio, Bluetooth, Android Auto/Apple CarPlay, USB-C in cab, house entertainment screen, and external USB. The trade-off? Parking at shopping centres can be limited and tight to manoeuvre the vehicle, so stick to on-street parking. For first-timers, this vehicle ticks all the boxes. Automatic transmission, power steering, and reversing camera make it easy to handle. One tip: book the last night of your trip at a caravan park or campground that has access to a dump point and hose to empty the toilet cassette and refill the freshwater tank before returning to the depot. | Stuart's take The Ultima Plus is designed for a young family with 2 adults and a child or teenager. You get Maui's premium quality finishes and a vehicle that's 0-2 years old. About Maui Ultima PlusStuart's takeThe Ultima Plus is designed for a young family with 2 adults and a child or teenager. The single bed is shorter and narrower than the spacious double — perfect for a teenager or smaller child. You get Maui's premium quality finishes and a vehicle that's 0-2 years old. This van excels at taking in the scenery. Large windows all around make it one of the best campervans for views on the open road. The 3rd seat sits behind the driver with walk-through access, so you can easily attend to your child while driving. The trade-off? At 7 metres long, parking gets tricky. You'll often need to find on-street parking rather than standard car spaces. It's excellent for first-timers. Everything's included — bedding, linen, full kitchen kit, toilet, shower, heating and cooling, plus entertainment screens and all the connectivity you need. You don't need to bring anything. One tip: arrange online grocery pickup from Coles or Woolworths near your first night's destination. It'll save you time and hassle after pickup. |
DriveNow's take: supplier | Julie's take Camperman is the budget-friendly choice for road trippers who care more about a good price than a shiny new van. All-inclusive rates with unlimited kilometres, insurance, and tolls make the cost easy to predict — you just have to be okay with an older vehicle. About CampermanJulie's takeCamperman is a good option if you're after something affordable and practical rather than a brand-new, luxury camper. They run a solid range of compact campervans, all with all-inclusive rates — unlimited kilometres, comprehensive insurance with a $500 excess, and road tolls included. That pricing structure is the best thing they do. You know your cost upfront, and you're not stung by extras later. The trade-off is the vehicles themselves. They're older and can be compact, so check the layout and storage work for you, especially on longer trips. These are well-loved vans with some wear and tear, but Camperman keeps them maintained throughout their time on the fleet. It's honest value rather than pristine presentation — you're trading modern features for a lower price and a practical setup. Pickup is straightforward. The team walks you through the vehicle and shows you how everything works before you head off. Give yourself a bit of extra time for the handover so you're not rushed and can ask questions before you start driving. If something goes wrong on the road, Camperman offers roadside assistance from 8am to 9pm, every day of the week. Camperman suits budget-conscious travellers who don't mind a simpler, older-style campervan in exchange for real value for money. If you're more focused on getting out and exploring than having the latest features, this is your fit. For the vehicle, start with the Maxie 4 Deluxe Shower/Toilet. It's a spacious, self-contained campervan that works well for families or groups of four, with proper mini motorhome facilities — including a private internal bathroom with hot water — without being hard to drive. The hot shower and toilet make a real difference on longer trips and open up remote overnight stays. For couples doing an extended trip, it's usually much cheaper than other 4-berth options with bathroom facilities, and you'll have plenty of room to spread out. One more thing worth knowing: drivers from 18 with a green P plate can drive any Camperman vehicle, as long as they display the correct plates and follow normal road rules. No additional fees for it. | Julie's take Let's Go Motorhomes runs a fleet of Jayco vehicles backed by Australia's largest RV manufacturer — solid, well-equipped campervans for couples and families doing longer road trips, without the premium price tag. About Let’s GoJulie's takeLet's Go Motorhomes is a good option if you want a modern, well-equipped motorhome without paying premium prices. Their Jayco vehicles are generally in good condition and built for longer trips, with a solid range of layouts for couples and families. Being backed by Jayco, Australia's largest RV manufacturer, is their real advantage. That means access to Jayco's dealer network and over 90 repair centres nationwide — so if something goes wrong, help isn't far away. The catch: their fleet is small. Popular vehicles book out well ahead, especially over school holidays and other peak periods. If you've got specific dates or a particular motorhome in mind, book early. They run Early Bird discounts through the year too, so there's no reason to leave it late. Pickup takes about an hour. Staff check your details and travel info, sort any outstanding payment, and walk you through the rental agreement and a full vehicle induction — inside and out — so you know how everything works before you drive off. You can speed this up by completing self check-in beforehand and entering your driver details in advance, which lets branch staff process you faster on the day. If something goes wrong on the road, every vehicle comes with 24-hour roadside assistance for mechanical issues, plus a help hotline staffed by the Let's Go team if you just need a hand working out a feature on the van. They suit pretty much everyone — solo travellers, families, and groups will usually find something that fits. They're a particularly good match for anyone planning a longer road trip who wants space and a practical layout over a stripped-back budget van. Our pick from their range is the Jayco Roamer 2 Berth. It's built for couples — proper kitchen, decent living space, and an ensuite shower and toilet. It's easy to set up and has the comforts you want for a longer trip, without stepping up to one of the bigger motorhomes. | Jack's take Mighty Campers is the budget pick for road-tripping Australia — a 25-year-old operator with a wide range of 2WD vans for 1 to 6 people, backed by solid maintenance and easy customer service. About MightyJack's takeMighty is built for the budget-minded traveller. They run a wide range of 2WD campervans, from solo setups right up to vans that fit 6, all priced to keep your trip affordable rather than flashy. They've been doing this for over 25 years, and it shows. Their customer service team is easy to get hold of, and their vehicles hold up well even as they age — a sign of proper maintenance, not just a fresh coat of paint. One thing to know before you book: Mighty lists its fleet as 4+ years old, but vehicles get rotated out fairly quickly. In practice, most vans you'll drive sit in the 4-5 year range — older than some competitors, but well looked after. Pickup is straightforward. You complete online check-in before your collection day, so you're not stuck filling out paperwork at the depot. Their companion app has guides you can read or watch during your hire, which helps if you hit something you're not sure how to handle. If something does go wrong on the road, Mighty has a dedicated 24/7 team for vehicle issues, plus a wide network of trusted mechanics and good depot coverage. That combination means help isn't far away, wherever you are. Mighty suits the traveller who wants a reliable van without paying for premium extras. You're not getting the newest features on the market, but you are getting a well-maintained vehicle at a fair price — a straightforward trade-off that works for a lot of people. First time hiring a campervan? Start with the Mighty Duo. It's a compact 2-berth motorhome that drives almost like a large car, which makes it an easy way in if you haven't handled a van before. | Julie's take Travellers Autobarn is a budget-friendly favourite with backpackers, offering unlimited kilometres, no young driver fees from 18–80, and free cancellation up to 15 days before pick-up. Vehicles lean toward the simpler, older-style end of the market — good value if you're more focused on the road trip than modern features. About Travellers AutobarnJulie's takeTravellers Autobarn has built its name with backpackers and budget travellers who want an affordable, flexible way to see Australia. You get unlimited kilometres, no young driver fees from 18 to 80, 24/7 roadside assistance, free campsites, and 10% off G'day Parks and the RoadTrip App. Where they stand out: free cancellation up to 15 days before pick-up, and their security bonds are only frozen, not charged. That's a real advantage if your plans change or you want your money accessible while you travel. Here's what to know before you book. These vans sit in the mid-range, leaning budget — simpler and often older-style than some competitors. Space and facilities vary a lot by model, so pick the right one for how you actually want to travel, not just the cheapest option on the list. Pick-up is straightforward. The team walks you through the vehicle and shows you how everything works before you head off. Give yourself a bit of extra time for the handover so you're not rushed and can ask questions before you hit the road. If something goes wrong on the road, roadside assistance (NRMA/RACQ/RACV) is available 24/7 on 1800 674 374. For everything else, Travellers Autobarn doesn't run a 24/7 customer line — their support operates 9am to 8pm Monday to Saturday and 10:30am to 3pm on Sundays and public holidays (Eastern time). Call 1800 674 374 from an Australian landline, or +61 2 8323 1555 from mobiles and overseas (charges apply). If you're calling from WA, remember the 2-3 hour time difference. Travellers Autobarn is the right call for budget-conscious travellers who don't mind a simpler, older-style van in exchange for keeping costs down. They suit people who care more about value for money and getting on the road than chasing the latest fit-out. For a first pick, go with the Hi-5. It sleeps up to five (though only two proper double beds), and comes with a real kitchenette, fridge, microwave, and solar panel. It's a solid step up in space and comfort for families or small groups without pushing you into a full-size motorhome. | Julie's take Travellers Autobarn is a budget-friendly favourite with backpackers, offering unlimited kilometres, no young driver fees from 18–80, and free cancellation up to 15 days before pick-up.

They're a solid pick for couples, families and adventurous travellers who want to get off the main routes without paying premium prices. About Tasmania CampersJulie's takeTasmania Campers focus on one thing: getting you around Tasmania without breaking the bank. They run a Hobart depot close to the airport, and their fleet covers everything from compact 2/3 berth HiTop campervans to family-friendly 4+1 models and 2 or 4 berth 4WD Bushcampers built for gravel roads and remote tracks. Where they stand out is the range of budget options. Whether you're a couple wanting something simple, a family that needs extra berths, or a group planning to head off the beaten track, there's a vehicle here that fits. Here's the trade-off: cheaper rates mean older vehicles. Tasmania Campers keep them well-maintained, but you should expect some wear and tear — these aren't new vans. The campervans are built to be practical, not luxurious, so check the facilities and size suit your trip before you book. Pick-up is straightforward. The depot's a short trip from Hobart Airport, and the team walks you through the vehicle and how everything works before you head off. Give yourself a bit of extra time at handover so you're not rushed and can ask questions before you hit the road. If something goes wrong on the road, every Tasmania Campers vehicle comes with Nationwide NRMA roadside service. They also give you a list of nationwide service centres and authorise up to AU$100 in emergency repairs, so you can sort out minor issues quickly instead of waiting around. Our pick from the fleet is the 4WD Bushcamper 4 berth. It's compact, practical, and built for couples who want a real Tasmanian adventure — off the main tourist routes but with proper indoor shelter, which matters when Tasmania's weather turns on you. If remote exploring is the goal, their 4WD range generally is worth a look, but go in with realistic expectations about comfort and space. Overall, Tasmania Campers suit budget-conscious travellers, couples, and families who want flexibility and value over flash extras — especially if part of the plan is getting off the beaten track. | Julie's take Tasmania Campers is a Hobart-based operator specialising in affordable campervans and 4WD Bushcampers for exploring Tasmania.

If you want a new-vehicle guarantee, this is the option. About Maui EliteJack's takeMaui Elite sits at the top end of campervan and motorhome hire in Australia. It's a new vehicle guarantee option for Maui branded vans — every vehicle you get is under 1 year old. That's the whole point of Maui Elite. If a new vehicle guarantee matters to you, this is your best choice. Nobody else does it quite the same way. Here's the catch: newer vehicles mean higher bonds. Before you book, check the liability reduction options and factor the bond into your budget if you decide to skip them. It's not a dealbreaker, but it'll surprise you if you haven't budgeted for it. Pickup is easy. Maui Elite sends you an online check-in before your pickup date, and their app lets you get familiar with the van before you even arrive at the depot. Less standing around, less guesswork. Maui Elite is part of one of the largest campervan and motorhome networks in Australia, so if something goes wrong on the road, you're not stuck. Wide network of mechanics and depots, plus 24/7 roadside assistance you can call anytime. Who's this for? Travellers who want a premium guarantee and are happy to pay for it. If you're after the newest van on the road with backup to match, this is the pick. For a couple or solo traveller, start with the Maui Ultima Elite. It's one of the best campervans on offer, and you get the guarantee that it's under a year old. | Jack's take Maui is a premium campervan and motorhome brand under the THL group, known for newer vehicles loaded with the latest features. Best for travellers who want a high-end experience and don't mind paying for it. About MauiJack's takeMaui are a premium brand who excel at high-end campervans and motorhomes. Their vehicles are newer than most on the market, so you rarely hear complaints about mechanical issues — and newer vehicles mean they're usually packed with the latest upgrades available. One thing to check before you book: because their fleet is newer, bond amounts can be quite high if you're not taking Maui's liability reduction options. Worth factoring into your budget upfront. Pick-up is a strong point. Maui is part of THL, which runs one of the largest campervan and motorhome fleets in Australia. You get online check-in before you arrive, plus an app with instructional videos — handy for prepping before your trip or checking something while you're on the road. If something goes wrong out on the road, Maui's fleet size works in your favour. They've got a wide network of mechanics and depots around the country for quick fixes, plus a 24/7 roadside assistance line. Maui is best suited to travellers after a premium campervan or motorhome experience — you're paying more, but you're getting a newer vehicle and better support if things go sideways. For two people wanting a new vehicle without going oversized, the Maui Ultima is our pick. It's packed with features but still a manageable size to drive and park. |

Sleeping capacity
How many people the vehicle sleeps. Where the supplier separates them, adult and child places are shown; a child berth isn't big enough for an adult. Seatbelts are a separate number, so check both for a group.
Bed layout
Where each bed is and what kind it is. Some beds stay made up, while others are made from the seating each night; Main bed setup shows which.
Bed sizes
Each bed's length × width in metres. Compare the length with the tallest person travelling, and the width with who is sharing.
The bed types in this comparison:
Dinette or lounge bed
The dining or lounge seats convert into a bed. The same space is used for sitting during the day and sleeping at night.
Upper and lower beds
Beds arranged one above the other inside the vehicle. The upper bed may have a weight limit, shown in the vehicle details where confirmed.
Rear bed
A bed at the back of the vehicle. Its position does not tell you whether it stays made up or converts from seating; check Main bed setup for that.
Double bed
One shared bed for two people. Compare the dimensions, as double beds differ in size between vehicles.
Single bed
A separate bed for one person. Some are child berths; check the sleeping capacity and dimensions in the table.
More in the handbook: Tips for a good night's sleep
A toilet and shower on board mean you can stay at basic or free campsites without amenities, and skip the night-time walk to a shared block. With a toilet only, you have the essentials; with neither, plan to stay where there are facilities.
An onboard toilet needs emptying at a dump point every few days.
More in the handbook: Emptying the toilet and waste tanks
The supplier's age range for this model. You're given one vehicle from within it, so Up to 2 years means it has been on the supplier's fleet for no more than about two years, 4+ years means at least four, and 4–7 years means between four and seven.
Newer vehicles generally show less wear and are more likely to have recent equipment. Older vehicles have usually covered more kilometres, which raises the chance of a breakdown. Older fleets are often the budget option, and a well-maintained older camper can still suit a trip.
Suppliers count age differently. Some count time on their fleet, others go by model year, so treat a one-year difference as approximate.
More in the handbook: How likely are breakdowns?
Not specified means the supplier doesn't publish this for that model. It doesn't mean the vehicle lacks it.
The fridge's capacity in litres; a range means it depends on the vehicle you're given. A bigger fridge means fewer shopping stops, which matters most for families and on remote stretches.
How the fridge is powered when you're parked affects how long it keeps food cold away from a powered site.
More in the handbook: Using the fridge
Not specified means the supplier doesn't publish this for that model. It doesn't mean the vehicle lacks it.
Heating or air-conditioning for the living area with the engine off. Many units only run at a powered site, while some heaters run from gas or the house battery, so check what each one needs.
Cab air-conditioning only works while driving. Portable heaters or fans may be included or available to hire.
More in the handbook: Heating and cooling
Not specified means the supplier doesn't publish this for that model. It doesn't mean the vehicle lacks it.
Hot water makes showers and washing up easier, especially in cooler months. Without it, you'll heat water on the cooker for dishes.
Where shown, the energy source tells you what the hot water runs on.
Not specified means the supplier doesn't publish this for that model. It doesn't mean the vehicle lacks it.
Longer vehicles have more room inside but are harder to park in town and need a bigger campsite. A range means it depends on the vehicle you're given.
Ferry fares for campervans are usually charged by length.
More in the handbook: Ferry costs
Not specified means the supplier doesn't publish this for that model. It doesn't mean the vehicle lacks it.
Clean water for drinking, cooking and washing. A bigger tank means longer between refills, which matters at free campsites without taps. A range means it depends on the vehicle you're given.
How long it lasts depends on how you use it, especially for showers.
More in the handbook: Fresh water
Not specified means the supplier doesn't publish this for that model. It doesn't mean the vehicle lacks it.
How much standing room there is inside. Taller travellers will be more comfortable with more headroom; in low-roof campers most people can't stand upright.
Not specified means the supplier doesn't publish this for that model. It doesn't mean the vehicle lacks it.
What you can cook on inside the vehicle. The number of burners affects how much you can cook at once, which matters for a group.
Gas cooktops run from an LPG bottle that you refill or swap on the road.
More in the handbook: Using the gas bottle
A table and chairs make it easy to eat and relax outside, which helps most in smaller campers. Some suppliers include them; others hire them out per trip, so check before comparing prices.
More in the handbook: Equipment you can hire
Not specified means the supplier doesn't publish this for that model. It doesn't mean the vehicle lacks it.
An outdoor or slide-out cooker keeps cooking smells and heat out of the living area, which helps in warm weather and in small campers. Many campsites also have shared barbecues.
Not specified means the supplier doesn't publish this for that model. It doesn't mean the vehicle lacks it.
Used water from the sink and shower collects in the grey-water tank. A bigger tank means fewer stops at a dump point, and some campsites don't let you drain it on the ground.
It's separate from the toilet, which has its own cassette or tank.
More in the handbook: Emptying the toilet and waste tanks
Not specified means the supplier doesn't publish this for that model. It doesn't mean the vehicle lacks it.
Everyone travelling needs their own seatbelt, so this is the most people the vehicle can carry, even if it sleeps more. Some seats are in the living area rather than the cab.
More in the handbook: Will I need multiple vehicles?
Child seats need suitable seat positions and anchor points, and some positions only take a booster. The combination shown is what the supplier allows, so check it covers every child's age and size.
Child seats are usually hired from the supplier as an extra.
More in the handbook: Child seat hire
Not specified means the supplier doesn't publish this for that model. It doesn't mean the vehicle lacks it.
How you can play music, connect a phone and watch a screen. A screen doesn't guarantee TV reception or DVD playback, and listed USB ports may not charge every device quickly.
Where it says some models, it isn't guaranteed in every vehicle of that model.
More in the handbook: Using the TV or screen
Not specified means the supplier doesn't publish this for that model. It doesn't mean the vehicle lacks it.
How wide the vehicle is affects narrow country roads, standard car parks and tight campsites. A range means it depends on the vehicle you're given.
Multi-storey car parks, drive-throughs and some bridges have height limits, so know your vehicle's height before you set off. A raised-roof height, where shown, applies when the roof is lifted while parked.
More in the handbook: Vehicle height awareness
Not specified means the supplier doesn't publish this for that model. It doesn't mean the vehicle lacks it.
A microwave that needs mains power only works at a powered site, not when you're free camping.
More in the handbook: What works when connected to power
A solar panel tops up the house battery during the day, which helps run the lights and fridge away from a powered site. How much it adds depends on the panel, the weather and how much power you use.
More in the handbook: Battery and solar
Not specified means the supplier doesn't publish this for that model. It doesn't mean the vehicle lacks it.
How the vehicle is powered when parked. At a powered site everything runs; off-grid, the house battery and any solar run the lights, fridge and charging.
Not every appliance works from every source: air-conditioning and microwaves usually need mains power.
More in the handbook: What works off-grid
Not specified means the supplier doesn't publish this for that model. It doesn't mean the vehicle lacks it.
Cab air-conditioning or heating makes long drives more comfortable. It runs with the engine, so it doesn't cool or heat the living area when you're parked; see Heating & cooling when parked.
Not specified means the supplier doesn't publish this for that model. It doesn't mean the vehicle lacks it.
Most rental campervans are automatic, and some older or budget models are manual. If you only drive automatics, make sure every vehicle you're considering is one.
A fixed bed stays made up, so you can rest at any time without rearranging. A bed made from the dinette or lounge gives you more living space by day, but takes a few minutes to set up each night and pack away each morning.
Some dinette beds can be left made up if you don't need the table.
Not specified means the supplier doesn't publish this for that model. It doesn't mean the vehicle lacks it.
In many smaller campers the table becomes the bed, so once the bed is made there's nowhere inside to sit and eat. A separate table matters on rainy days, or when someone wants to sleep while others are still up.
Not specified means the supplier doesn't publish this for that model. It doesn't mean the vehicle lacks it.
In a combined wet room the toilet sits inside the shower, so the whole room gets wet when you shower. A separate toilet and shower works more like home but takes more space.
Not specified means the supplier doesn't publish this for that model. It doesn't mean the vehicle lacks it.
A reversing camera makes parking a large vehicle much easier, because you can't see directly behind most campers. Some models means only some vehicles in the fleet have one, so you may not get it.
Not specified means the supplier doesn't publish this for that model. It doesn't mean the vehicle lacks it.
An outside locker keeps bulky or dirty gear, such as chairs, hoses or wet shoes, out of the living area. Space inside is limited, so soft bags pack more easily.
More in the handbook: Luggage
Not specified means the supplier doesn't publish this for that model. It doesn't mean the vehicle lacks it.
With a walk-through you can move between the cab and the living area without getting out, which is handy in rain or at night. Without one, you step outside to get from one to the other.
Not specified means the supplier doesn't publish this for that model. It doesn't mean the vehicle lacks it.
Whether pots, pans, plates and cutlery come with the vehicle. Most suppliers include a kitchen kit; some charge for it as an extra, so check what's included before comparing prices.
