This compact 4WD camper is built for solo travellers or couples who want to explore Tasmania's remote campgrounds that 2WD vans can't reach. Unlike other 4WD options with rooftop tents, you get a proper cabin with a pop-up roof — somewhere to cook and shelter from Tasmania's unpredictable weather.
For travellers who enjoy the off-grid experience, there's sufficient space inside for trips longer than a week. The trade-off is simple: you give up some comforts of the nicer 2WD options for the ability to drive on unsealed roads and reach those hidden spots.
This isn't a bad choice for first-time campers specifically looking for a budget-friendly 4WD option, though there are newer models better suited to beginners if you can stretch the budget. You'll get the most value by using this van to reach locations unavailable to 2WD campers — ask the depot staff for their off-the-beaten-track recommendations.
Before hitting gravel roads, store everything in the cabin securely to avoid damage, and check your tyres before any off-road driving.
