A small investment for heaps of fun

A pop up camper can be hired for a single trip at a very reasonable price and is the perfect way to get into the outdoors and experience camping without the hassles of setting up tents and finding suitable places to store everything.

My first experience with a pop up camper was great - we arrived at the camping ground and easily manouvered the van to where we wanted it and set it up in a couple of minutes.
Our clothes and food were already stored away in the numerous compartments in the camper, which makes life alot easier especially when you have a couple of kids who are eager to get out and start enjoying the whole camping experience.

The pop up camper was very easy to tow and if more camping trips are planned then a small investment of around $5000 to $10,000 can set you up with a pop up camper of your very own, which you can then customerise to suit your needs.
