With that said, we did really like the fact that with this slide-on, you don’t have to  set up the tent section to access your food and fridge, so trackside cuppas are a piece of cake.

When something breaks, that could mean an end to your trip, huge delay in a nearby town, complete isolation or injury and a very costly experience. It is too easy to be attracted to the bells and whistles and aesthetics. Eliminate any slide on from your list if it means you will exceed the GVM of your vehicle. To be used for weekend campers, but also sustain long-distance touring. Typically a box design with a oyster shell that folds over the side or the rear.
The additional windows facing 360 degrees capture the cooling breeze from every angle. The walkway at the rear is a bit tight for two people to pass but otherwise there are no complaints; the dinette is roomy enough for two to sit comfortably and accessing the bed is easy. Cockatoo Campers have been developing their campers over many years. As avid campers and off-roaders themselves, the owners of Cockatoo Campers are well versed in what is required for successful experiences in camping and off-roading holidays. The Vantage 2.1 uses a very clever design to convert the hallway space into a full-size toilet and shower.
All lockable storage compartments are keyed alike, so there are plenty of spare keys provided with each unit. The main entry door is unusual in that, as well as having a vertical section like most doors, it also has a horizontal protrusion at the top of the door which covers an open section behind the doorway. The effect is similar to having a “man hole” over the top of the doorway, so entering the Innovan does not require bending over to go through the doorway. An upright stance can be maintained by walking up the steps through the “man hole”. This door can be locked from the outside with a key which is different from the storage compartment keys. From inside the van, the door can be locked by simply lifting up the lever type handle.

They also test new electronics to ensure they can handle the rigors of touring in outback Australia.

Trayon Campers are still the lightest Class 2 slide on camper by nearly 300kg compared to its closest rival and that is a record held since 1994 when the first Trayon Camper was born. We expect every product to have a warranty these days, however, some products require it more than others.

A relatively simple design compared to some slide-ons on our list maybe, but simple works. The pop-up roof provides a standing area at the rear of the tray for changing your clothes comfortably and the bed can easily accommodate a couple. The interior of the canopy can be configured around what you need to carry with you on your trip, and Metalink will custom build just about anything you need into it. But you could tackle just about any trip in Australia in one of these for a few weeks and not be disappointed. If you’re not looking for all the bells and whistles and you’re a firm believer of the adage “simpler is better” then this one could be right up your alley.
Models are available to suit single cab, space cab and dual cab 4×2 and 4×4 host vehicles, bringing the affordability of the Earthcruiser design to the average recreational family. This is particularly important for slide on campers on dual cab utes, where the tray sits typically right above or just in front of the rear axle. It is impossible to move the load further toward the center of the wheelbase like you can with a single cab ute.
