Expedition Trucks and Slide On Campers For Sale

Firstly, I’d like to let you know that Iveco appear to have ironed out all the piddly issues that the E5 suffered and hopefully the bigger ones too. This truck has far outperformed my expectations and I do think they have got it right this time. With regard to Earthcruiser we are also over the moon with  its performance. It’s amazing how many developments have come since our last one.
The campers are built around a fully welded structural frame to handle the rugged terrain of your next adventure. Backed by a 10-year structural warranty and years of aluminum storage box   testing, these camper will get you to your end destination. The camper will be attached directly to the tray of your vehicle with 4 x M10 bolts, nuts and washers.

Not only is the payload similar to a Chevy 3500 dually but when you put the same camper on both trucks, the Ranger rides infinitely better, as the owner of the Silverado will begrudgingly attest to. The cost of this truck in Australia is around $90,000 but the Chevy is close to double that. The Ford Ranger, Mazda BT50, Nissan Navara and Toyota Landcruiser fitted with lazy axles are the most popular. The LPG fittings, the tail lights, the electrical system (which requires 240-volt wiring) and 240-volt appliances. Northern Lite does the propane, the tail lights and installs a 240-volt three-way refrigerator. We do the 240-volt wiring and the 240-volt reverse-cycle air conditioner.
For grey nomads who aren’t on the road full-time, the other significant advantage over a motorhome is that your vehicle isn’t ‘wasted’ for however long you are not out on the open road. Ask your manufacturer LOTS of questions before you sign on the dotted line. We’re going to say straight up that the Rhino Camper appeals to us in a big way for no other reason than it’s simple and looks like it just works.
Our world class campers are fully self contained off road capable truck campers and at the heart of these is the Redarc Battery Management System. We had to modify a few things on the Canter to make it more user friendly and suitable for the use we intended. Parabolic springs were required to soften the ride when the camper was not loaded. The thin wheels with low profile tyres and rear dual wheels needed to be replaced with super singles all round. The standard Fuso Canter wheels severely limit the off road and beach ability of an otherwise very capable truck.

It also provides you with the ability to monitor water levels, temperatures, energy consumption and storage, with the battery information available when used with a REDARC 'Manager' battery management system . By fitting the machine beside the outside shower we are able to utilise the shower hot and cold outlet for use with the machine. We installed a 240 volt external power outlet which is connected to the 2500 watt inverter. An additional awning was installed so that the new laundry was not in the hot sun and the awning can be utilised as a clothes line when required.
EvaKool offers a five-year warranty and on the one occasion so far, that there was an issue with a unit, the backup from EvaKool was outstanding. The unit has a movable divider in the box so that the relationship between the amount of freezing space and the amount of refrigerator can be varied. Items in the freezing compartment can be frozen solid while food items such as milk, tomatoes and lettuce are kept in good condition without freezing in the other compartment. Removal of the partition enables the whole box to act as either a refrigerator or a freezer, by adjusting the temperature setting. A client, who was fishing in the Northern Territory, reported having the whole box completely filled with fish fillets, to the extent that not another one could be added and that every fillet was frozen solid.

The elegant solution is a simple, manual mechanism that avoids these risks altogether. Or at least a manual override that allows you to use the camper even if the electrics were to fail. There are very few class 3 campers that you can carry on a 1 tonne ute without exceeding your GVM.

Perhaps they spent the night in the vehicle with the motor running or left the fridge open to get some warmth into the camper.

The Matilda builds upon the bushman camper bringing it to a whole new level. Have looked at many other brands out there but the quality, attention to detail, fit and finish is one of the best I've found out there and very well priced. If you later change your mind, or damage a cushion or part of the interior, you can replace the damaged part or the entire interior colour scheme if you wish, and it is really easy to do. These floorplans are the most popular by far in the USA and Canada and has just the right balance and feel.
They will have an affect on your rear suspension, load carrying and most importantly – your GVM. We cannot stress enough how important it is to stay at or below your vehicle’s rated carrying capacity. If you don’t and you come a cropper, you can forget about your insurance paying you out and in the worst case scenario, you may end up in prison.
