Camping is the best way to escape our hectic lifestyles and get back in touch with nature. Over the years camper trailers have become a popular choice over traditional tent camping or purchasing an expensive RV because of the many benefits they provide. We have put together our top reasons why you should consider buying a camper trailer for your family.

Value for Money

Purchasing a camper trailer is a cost effective alternative to buying a caravan or motorhome however they still provide the safety and features of these RV’s. Plus they are far more economical on fuel! Camper trailers also hold their value, so when it comes time to selling the camper, your initial purchase will have been a good investment.

After the initial outlay of buying your camper, you will find that you spend less when you are on your camping holiday. No need to pay for expensive accommodation and camper trailers come equipped with cooking facilities and great storage so you can prepare your own meals. If you also invest in solar panels, then you will be able to take advantage of the fantastic free campsites around Australia or opt for non-powered camping sites, which are even cheaper!

Take a camper anywhere

Australia has some of the most magical off road destinations to explore and with a camper trailer you can go anywhere your 4WD will take you. Most campers are designed and built to withstand Australia’s rugged off road conditions and being able to safely explore these remote areas is a great reason to buy a camper trailer.

Saves you time and effort

Most camper trailers are easy to set up, so once you get to your destination there is no time wasted. You can arrive on site, push up the roof, and pull out the beds with minimum fuss and effort. All of your gear and equipment will be safely stored inside, and you can use that extra free time to start enjoying your holiday. Also they are much easier to tow than a caravan and you wont need to upgrade your car.

Comforts of home

Compared to tents with a camper trailer you still get to enjoy the benefits of taking your comforts from home without having to tow a large caravan. Campers are surprisingly spacious, with lots of storage, comfortable beds and convenient cooking facilities. They also provide that additional level of security you don’t get when camping with tents.

Holidays should be a time for relaxing with the minimum amount of effort and the maximum amount of enjoyment, so when planning your next holiday, consider buying a camper trailer to make your travels so much easier.

Buying a new camper trailer is a big decision and by doing your research and asking the right questions you can be sure to choose the right one for you. Whilst your budget is often your starting point when looking to buy a camper trailer, it is also important to take a longer term approach and think about what your needs will be in the coming years.

You need to look at what your situation will be; will you have a growing family or will your children become adults and you plan to travel with your partner? The type of holidays you plan to take will also depend on whether you want a camper trailer that is easy to pitch and pack away, or if storage is the most important thing. Once you work out what’s important to you then you are ready to go and look at some campers and find one that suits your family.

As we know it can be quite a daunting process, we have put together some questions to help get you started…

Camper Trailer Specifications:

It's vital to ensure you can safely tow the camper trailer with the car you will be driving. So one of the first questions to ask is the weight of the camper and remember to check the weight when fully loaded, as well as the recommended towing capacity of the tow bar. While you are checking the weight, it’s also a good idea to see if you can easily move the camper trailer by yourself.

If you plan on heading off road with your camper trailer you need to make sure the camper will handle these conditions and check that it has off road capable suspension.

When you are not using your camper trailer you need to store it well. Ask for the measurements of the camper to make sure it will fit in your garage or the area you are planning to store it.

Camper Trailer Storage:

Camping trips should be easy and stress free, so having adequate storage is essential. Depending on how many people you are travelling with or the kinds of camping trips you will be taking, you need to check that you have enough storage space. Is the camper big enough for your requirements and how much can you pack inside it?

Camper Trailer Features:

Spend time exploring the camper trailer to see what features are included and how they work and most importantly ensure that you find it easy to erect and pack up. Some valuable questions to ask are:

• Is an on board 12 volt AGM battery included in the price, and if so, how is it recharged and roughly how long will the batteries last?
• What is the capacity of the water tanks and what are the tanks made of?
• Are the screens midge proof?
• Are solar panels a standard feature or are they an additional cost?
• Can you recharge your batteries with the solar panels and an Anderson plug?
• Does the camper trailer have all terrain tyres?
• Is an annexe or an awning included in the price?
• Does the camper trailer come with the receiver to fit your car?

Warranty and After Sales Service:

The service and support you will receive after buying your camper trailer is another important factor to consider. If something goes wrong while you are travelling it will be inconvenient if you have to return the camper to the place of purchase for warranty work. Check what type of warranty is included and ask if the company has representatives in each state authorised to carry out warranty work?

Any professional company will be more than happy to answer your questions and give you time to view the range of camper trailers they have on offer, so that once you decide on the right one for you, you can drive it away feeling confident in your informed choice.

Living in Australia we are spoilt for choice when it comes to beautiful places to camp. We love camping, but we understand that there are some people who just aren’t sure about it. So we have put together our top reasons why you should go on a camping trip. Whether you are new to camping or a seasoned camper, we hope to inspire you to start planning your next camping trip!

Best holiday for the children

It seems that kids spend a lot of time on gadgets and technology. Camping gets the children away from these gadgets and experiencing nature. They will spend their days playing, using their imaginations and learning new things…the opportunities are endless. Plus the fresh air will do wanders for them. There really is something magical about camping and it will be a holiday they wont forget.

Escape your hectic life and get back to nature

For most of us life seems to get busier by the day, camping lets you take the time to slow down and appreciate a calmer pace of life. Once your tent or camper trailer is set up you can sit back and relax without the worry of your everyday tasks. Plus there is so much beauty in the outdoors and we often don’t get the time to appreciate it. There’s nothing better than relaxing by a campfire under the stars. The first time you camp the stars will truly amaze you.

Pet-friendly holidays

Unlike other holidays, you can bring the family pet with you to most campsites. It’s a good idea to check the site beforehand to make sure. No expensive kennel fees or trying to find someone to look after your dog. Your four-legged friend is part of the family so let them enjoy the holiday too.

Being outdoors is good for your health

If you have been feeling stressed or a little run down lately then a camping trip should be on your list of things to do. Being outdoors is great for you health! You get more vitamin D, an increase in endorphins, plus you will burn extra calories without even realising.

Affordable Holiday

Camping is an economical way to have a great holiday, which means you can get away more often throughout the year. You can make your trip as basic or luxurious as you want depending on your budget. Plus Australia has loads of free campsites; in our opinion these free sites are often the best places to camp.

You can switch off and unplug from technology

Most of us don’t go anywhere without our phones, ipads or laptops these days. With camping you can literally unplug all your gadgets and chill out. It is a great opportunity to focus on your family and friends without your phone ringing or looking at emails. It might also be a surprise that you and the kids can survive without your smartphone or ipad and actually enjoy it!

It’s time to create lasting memories with your family, away from all the distractions that everyday life inevitably brings. Start planning your camping trip and head off for some much needed time away – we have certainly given you some very good reasons to do so!
