Keen to get away? Here are five ready-to-roll campers perfect for a great escapeGetting away and spending time in the great outdoors has never been more desirable in these COVID times. But what if you've got itchy feet and time to spare but nothing booked or in the driveway to escape in?
We've trawled the classifieds to come up with five 'great escape' machines, that will have you on the road and enjoying post-lockdown life within seconds of turning the ignition key.
Now all you have to do is get the go-ahead from the bank manager...
Suncamper Conqueror
Suncamper's pumped up Sherwood Conqueror has been doing the show rounds since its unveiling late last year, and now you can drive one away from Suncamper's Albury-Wodonga dealer.
The Sydney-built, Toyota HiLux 4x4 campervan doesn't just look the goods; it has loads of off-road equipment to go with the comfortable interior fit-out to get you and your travelling companion into the most remote camping spots.
At just over $200,000 drive-away, it's perfectly set up for a run to the Red Centre, via the Flinders Ranges, Coober Pedy and bumpy Oodnadatta Track...
Global Explorer 4x4
It's not exactly cheap at $210,000 for this two-year old example, but the Fuso 4x4 truck-based AAV 4x4 Global Xplorer remains a relative bargain when it comes to full off-road, go-anywhere expedition vehicles.
With only 13,900km on the odo and "ready to go" according to the NSW-based private seller, we'd be inclined to pick it up and head across the heart of Australia, including a run up the Tanami Track followed by the Gibb River Road, and stopping off at all the spectacular sights along the way.
Dove Toyota LandCruiser 70 Series
We're big fans of the old-school Toyota LandCruiser 70 Series for fuss-free Outback treks, so this neat pop-top camper conversion caught our eye for anyone thinking of doing an ambitious Outback trip.
It's located in Perth, so east coast residents could fly in, pick up the 'Cruiser camper and head north for an unforgettable Coral Coast and Outback WA desert adventure.
Volkswagen Caddy Maxi
If you're more into smooth highway cruising and coastal free-camping, then this 'vanlife' style mini camper could be just the ticket for a great escape.
Fitted out by Melbourne's Regal and priced at an affordable $36,900, the compact VW camper has all the basics covered including a solar battery system, double bed and some kitchen equipment, while at 4.88m long, it's the perfect size for city runs or some occasional stealth camping.
Forest River Lexington
There are a few monster 'home away from home' rigs for sale on caravancampingsales, but few will get you the roadside attention or deliver the V10 engine grunt of this 9.33m long American-built motorhome.
At just over a quarter million dollars, the Ford F-450-based Forest River motorhome carries four and sleeps six and even comes with a towable Suzuki for shopping and day trips.
The seven-year old motorhome is loaded up for long-term luxury living with three slide outs, timber furniture, two leather recliners and an on-board generator.
The perfect rig for those thinking: "Bugger this, I'm selling up and hitting the road full time!"
