Campervan Hire Australia: What Kinds Are There?

By Duncan Malcomb


There are many different type of campervan hire Australia. Some are converted from other vehicles and you might not recognize them as a campervan right away. Some are more traditional with a racing stripe or some other artwork down the side with a name that inspires travel. Some are a moving advertisement from the rental company that they came from, with flashy, attention grabbing artwork.

One thing that you should consider when looking for a campervan hire Cairns is the roof. Some campervans are built so that there are extra storage compartments on the roof. There are campervans that are taller than normal vans to create extra space for beds or cargo. A popular style of van is the pop top camper or the rising roof style campervan. With these the roof can be automatically or manually raised to provide a head space above a lofted bed.

The traditional type of campervan hire Brisbane is usually white in color with a large, inspiring name along the side or back. Another feature you may be able to tell from the outside is the presence of expandable walls. This will look like a large rectangular weather seal while the vehicle is in motion, but when camping these spaces push out six inches to a foot to create extra space.

One type of campervan hire Australia with a unique look is the Airstream trailer. They are normally left as sheet steel with a protective coating. These campervans are well known for their aerodynamic look and rounded ends. The aerodynamic shape may not equal fuel efficiency, however it may be a factor in the brands long life span. There are modern imitations being built now with a rounded body and a fiberglass finish, but this brand has decided to stick with the classic look it has created.

The most luxurious of the campervans are in the A-class category. Weighing in at 7.5 tons they are normally the size of a small commercial truck, but still share the frame with the cab. These land yachts tend to have a master bedroom, sometimes an extra bedroom, and a full bathroom. It is not uncommon to have walls that push out to create more space when the vehicle is stationary. Some of these vehicles are so large that they have a full garage space in which to park a vehicle or provide storage.

Just as you cannot judge a book by it's cover, you may not be able to tell a campervan from a school bus right away. It is really the contents of a vehicle that decide whether it is a campervan or not, the ability to provide shelter and a few of life's necessities. Campervans run the gauntlet from the factory made to home made labors of love. If you can imagine it, you might just be able to find a campervan hire Brisbane that looks just like the one you are dreaming of.
