Frequently asked questions about Wedgetail Campers

Everything you need to get started.

Yes, we do!

The Hawk, a more simplistic back-to-nature, lift off canopy style camper. Contact us for more information on either model.

Sure. Most vehicles can be modified to suit. A chassis extension is what is required. Have a chat to our friends at Adaptive manufacturing.

They do chassis extensions on the new Ford ranger/VW Amarok and the new Mazda BT50/Isuzu Dmax.

A flat bed tray of roughly 2.2m long or more is a good start – but every tray is different, so best ask one of our team.

Or, let us build you a complete tray and camper package, see ours here.

Yes! This is a big benefit of Wedgetail slide on campers.

The right vehicle depends on how and where you plan to travel. However, we’ll work with you to build the perfect vehicle/camper setup to suit your needs. For example, the serious off-roader will need more payload than the highway tourer.

Not necessarily. Many customers don’t require one, but a GVM upgrade can improve carrying capacity and vehicle performance depending on your setup.

However a GVM upgrade will make the car drive better and allow you to carry extra load. Remember, if you’re going off-grid with a Wedgetail you will appreciate the extra fuel and water you can carry. We always recommend having this done on light vehicles.

Slide On camper, ute camper, ute back camper, tray on camper, tray back camper, lift off camper, jack off camper… they’re all just different names for slide on campers.

Basically they can vary from a box with a bed in it, right up to a studio apartment. They’re all readily removable from the back of a vehicle and in most cases, require a flat bed tray.

Yes. Your Ute back camper pod can be fitted onto a custom Wedgetail Campers trailer. Learn more about our Camper Trailers here.

Absolutely. You are welcome to fit your own equipment into any of our campers, e.g. fridge and BBQ.

It depends on the options you choose to add, so it’s always best to contact our team for more information.

Note: We have a weekly repayment deal exclusively available for our customers. Handy!

Yes! Our Ute back Campers are made for it, of course each individual’s requirements for ‘being off grid’ are different from the next. That is why we help you build your vehicle/camper combo from the ground up.

Yes, all Wedgetail Campera are built tough to withstand the toughest conditions. Many of our customers have taken their campers to extremely remote places on the worst roads imaginable.

With a 12 Year Structural Warranty, the Wedgetail is ready to go… are you?

The Wedgetail 22 Camper and the Wedgetail HT both have facilities for a full inside ensuite. No more wet muddy feet in bed!

The Hawk camper can be adapted for a few options of an external shower.

We refer to each task separately… from drivers seat to fridge, BBQ, shower, toilet, etc is all 30 seconds.

To do a full set up in the Wedgetail 22 Camper, you are looking at 8 minutes to open – 10 minutes to close. We do it in 5 minutes! See our set up video here.

For the Hawk Camper, setting up everything is less than a minute.

Our showroom is based in Newcastle. AND we have a growing ambassador system, which hopefully you can find a camper near you. Click here!

We sure do! 

Partnering with Adaptive manufacturing for the supply of vehicle with modifications as needed. Then we will do a purpose built tray and camper package to suit the Wedgetail 22 and Wedgetail HT.

For most touring setups, more payload capacity is generally better. Payload includes everything the vehicle carries — the camper, passengers, fuel, water, gear, and accessories.

The right setup depends on how and where you travel, as touring weights can add up quickly.

If you’re unsure, tell us your vehicle and how you plan to travel — we’ll help you work through what is realistic.

The best Hawk depends on your vehicle, tray length, payload and how you travel. Whether you’re after a lightweight weekend setup or longer remote trips, we’ll help you choose the right size before you commit.

Yes, within reason. Rather than offering endless customisation, we’ve refined the Hawk over many years to keep it lightweight, practical and reliable. We offer proven options while avoiding unnecessary complexity.

In many cases, yes. Many popular accessories can be fitted after delivery, allowing you to get camping sooner and add features as your touring style evolves.
