Campervan Hire In Adelaide Australia

A campervan is a small motorhome that allows its occupants to travel long distances without having to spend money on fuel. They are generally designed to carry two adults and two children. The term "camper" comes from the word "camp", referring to the fact that they were originally used by travellers who had camped out during their travels. Campervans are now widely popular among Australians, particularly those living in rural areas where there are few other options for accommodation. Many families prefer them over caravan parks because they offer greater privacy and freedom than caravan parks. Campervans are often referred to as "motor homes".

They are generally smaller than caravans, but larger than tents. A typical campervan costs around $30,000 to buy new, although some older models cost less. There are many types of campervans, including pop-up vans, folding vans, towable vans, and rigid vans. Most campervans come equipped with a toilet, kitchenette, bedding, cooking facilities, heating, air conditioning, and an internal refrigerator. Some models include a shower and/or bathtub. They are not suitable for travelling across country, as they require regular maintenance and repairs. If these are carried out properly, however, they should last for several years.

In addition to being able to sleep six people comfortably, campervans are also ideal for touring Australia.
