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.

This is really determined by you. 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.

This is why we offer a unique “100% GVM Guarantee”. Contact us for more details.

Short answer is no. 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.

We also provide a “100% GVM Guarantee”. We work with you to ensure you’ll be within your maximum legal weight. Contact us for more details.

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?

Yes, several of our customers are doing this right now. They love the outdoor-living feel of the camper. They can be inside, yet still feel like they are outside in the elements.

If you’d like to speak to them, contact us and we’ll put you in touch.

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!
