Slide On Campers

Home comforts include a stainless-steel kitchen sink, inside and outside shower, slide-out internal toilet, fresh-water drinking fountain and upright fridge-freezer. We camp in the truck campers we manufacture, so we can use our own experience to help design the best campers on the market using time tested construction techniques and quality materials. An example is that some utes overload their front axles if a steel winch bar, side rails, winch and second battery are fitted. Others, with short wheelbases, overload their rear axles with only a modest payload in their trays.

As with all Wedgetail Campers products, the Hawk is proudly manufactured in Australia.

Even if your loaded cab/chassis and slide-on doesn’t exceed the vehicle maker’s GVM there’s a chance that the front or rear axle mass limit may be exceeded, because of too much weight on the front or rear axle.
We spend the time to show you how everything works, generally over a few days and usually camped close by. It takes a bit of time to learn how to load and unload the camper properly and to become comfortable with the whole setup. Even after this we are available 7 days a week if you need to ask a question or if you have a problem.
The faucet in the vanity recess has a hot and cold water tap. Provided the hot water system is included in the unit’s options, this faucet can supply cold water directly from the tanks or hot water from the hot water system and of course mix them together.

Such as Ford F250/350, Iveco Daily, Mercedes G Professional etc. So, yes this class of slide on camper is typically the heaviest. This class has all the creature comforts built in from day one. Fridge, gas bottle, cook top, kitchen bench, dining area, sink, 2-3 person accommodation, water tank, annex etc. You can get GVM upgrades done to most vehicles to increase payload, and if you have the budget for it, it is worth considering.

I personally hate to see people stuck, especially in the middle of nowhere on their much anticipated trip. When something goes wrong, they phone the place that sold them the camper and find they either can't help, don't know or are no longer in business. In many instances the problems are not as bad as they appear and we can help out on the phone. The Vantage 2.4 uses a very clever design to convert the hallway space into a full-size toilet and shower. Internally there is ample storage via under seat hatches, kitchen cupboards and drawers.

The canopy hatch provides this ventilation and also allows light and some extra ventilation if required. Gas regulations require a vent near the floor when gas appliances are fitted internally. There is room in the gas storage compartment of the slide on for two, 4.5 kg gas bottles. The showerhead can be adjusted from a fine jet shower spray to a stream and the water flow can be switched off at the shower head. The shower head can be used where it is normally located or the hose allows it to be used in another location such as a shower tent that is not under the awning.

If it is intended to use the slide on when it is not attached to the vehicle then it would be preferable to have a battery inside the unit to operate the lights, the fridge and the pump etc. Being a marine barbecue, this unit will work well in windy conditions and will supply plenty of heat. It is usually mounted on  the pull out kitchen behind the cook top and is connected to the gas system in the van with a bayonet type fitting. The gas hot water system is located on the driver’s side of the slide-on and is vented through the outside wall. The vent has a cover which prevents dust from entering the unit, but the cover must be removed to operate the hot water system. The ignition switch and the temperature control are located inside the caravan, on the front of one of the chest high cupboards.
The benefits of slide on campers were always evident but no one could build them lightweight and strong enough before the 1990s. I can and often do run my business from my Northern Lite which bears a sticker saying, “Head Office”. No doubt there are some living full-time in truck campers, but not a lot.

These joins or corners are the weakest point hence any flexing or movement happens at the joint. This “box” then sits on the back of your truck and you hope that these joints hold together when the road gets rough and things are moving around. Then each of these joints has two seals which must remain water tight.
Head off into the outback and put your vehicle through some rough and bumpy terrain where the back will be wanting to bounce up and down, and you will be testing your chassis to the max. Because you can, just imagine the extra bouncing strain that will be added right on the back of the chassis. The Vantage 2.4 uses modern fibreglass technology and honeycomb sandwich wall panels resulting in a very light yet extremely strong camper only weighing.
