Tough luxury there's something for everyone however it is necessary to know what you're looking for do you need a comfortable trailer that can brave all the elements or do you lean more toward a cheaper stripped-down trailer that allows you to customize.

Your own experience for those who traverse rugged terrain by day and sleep under the stars at night we present the best off-road camper trailers we've compiled this list of incredible off-road trailers so you can find your perfect fit for outdoor adventure.

So what gets me excited about zone rvs is the way the external bodies are manufactured we've got one piece floors which are 30 millimeters thick we've got side walls and roofs which are also 30 millimeters thick with solid foam cores the insulation values.

On these panels are absolutely awesome and what does that mean for you if you're using heating or cooling in these vans they're not working anywhere near as hard as what a framed caravan might be doing this base package kicks off on our proven chassis design.

With our huge big gusseted front draw bar all wrapped up in a hot dip gal chassis hanging off the front we've got a do-35 hitch with full articulation in behind it we've got an anderson for power out and then we've got a seven pin plug for lights and braking also here we've got the trailer safe.

Breakaway and the safety dave single lens camera package tucked nicely in behind it moving back we've got the jack stand here which is just an effortless winding piece of equipment absolutely love that in behind the jack stand we've got our proven stone guard offering great protection for the van.

Due to us running compressor fridges where we're not using gas we're running two four and a half kilo gas bottles for all of our cooking and heating needs in the base on the front here we've got this huge volume toolbox driver's side we've got a generator slide passenger side we've just got a.

Big large utility side on the top of the box we've got a firewood carrier and a nice flat surface for any other types of accessories that we want to bolt on later up the front of the van here we've got our huge big tunnel boots heaps of different options of kitchens that can go in here with standard gas.

Bayonet ready to go so this is what we call our entertainment hatch tv bracket for taking the tv from the inside to the out 240 on the outside when needed 12 volt and usb sockets and obviously this awesome table here for food and drinks.

So all the windows in this van are fully double glazed blades bonded in window frames with shades and insect nets on the interior with these vans having just over 2 400 kilo empty weight and a three and a half ton loaded weight you're looking at almost 1100 kilos of payload in this van.

Now it's the xt coil suspension which is taking the brunt of all of that we've got the 16 inch steel rims wrapped in discovery at3 cooper tyres as standard under a full length awning we've got two external lights with bug deterrent mode which is absolutely critical.

On the back of the base here we've got a heavy duty gal dipped rear bar single spare wheel and a single lens rear view camera in the rear here we've got the dometic cassette toilet and up here we've got the refrigeration venting when you're on the road this hatch is closed and no dust is coming in.

When you're set up at camp it's fully open insect mesh in there and this fridge is breathing really well which in turn means that you are chewing less power and just next to it here we've got the 240 shore power in some antenna connections and the truma.

Hot water heater exhaust what really sets zone rv interiors apart is the fact that we are 100 timberless we use a myriad of composite materials which are really light and really strong that handle off-road corrugations day in day out so apart from the main big structures that are bonded in place.

And don't move the other thing we have is doors now in off-road caravans doors can really give you grief and the way we tackle that at zone is we've got these big bonding plates that go on the inside of the door so that the hinges can firmly attach and these doors do not move.

With great accessibility and all the weight straight over the center of the axles we've got the power system we've got the redarc manager 30 as the main system driver we've got two 120 agm batteries 360 watts of solar on the roof with plenty more real estate to load it up with whatever you like.

So we've got the bushman 190 liter fridge freezer which is 12 volt 240 compressor fridge under the fridge we've got the truma 4e now the 4e gives us our hot water as well as a fully ducted heated system so on all the trips i've done with zone in the last five years i've genuinely never used an air conditioner.

Once what we have used a lot of though is heating systems whether you're in the desert the high country down in tasmania these things are absolutely valuable so the difference we've done with this base model is it does have a heater in it as.

Standard but no air conditioner on top there's nothing more frustrating than being off-road caravanning and at the end of the day opening the door and finding a van full of dust now any caravan that has gas in it by regulation has to have venting but what we do at zone rv.

We have these little vents that come out here we have a marine inspection port as soon as you hit the dirt these covers go in and these vans are sealed right up if you're looking for a van with super off-road capabilities the base is the van for you the bushwacker boma is a mighty unit.

That packs a lot into its diminutive box style frame it features a host of included extras including this full 360 degree wrap-around awning and the bowmer's gull wing style side folding beds are as cool and relaxing as you can get inside the boma is a cool sanctuary with.

Breezes funneled exactly where they're needed and the height more than 2.1 metres floor to ceiling is truly surprising everything you see is included with the boma 75 litre xtm dual zone fridge freezer 160 watt panel diesel rims gas hot water system but let's hear from.

The judges about this cool off-road unit  i loved the bushwacker bomas gullwing side folding beds david did you feel the same yeah sure it's a unique sort of design with your beds folding out each side and two double beds even not single beds.

It was a really interesting design and very well executed boma that's zulu for small shelter in the bush that's exactly what this thing is it's got twin 180 degree shoulders to go on the outside for awnings and those two beds i can really see two hunters two fishermen.

Two gold prospectors going off into the bush to create their small shoulder and live quite well there's so much going for this particular camper one thing i particularly liked was a huge swing door at the back with that kitchen unit he had a separate sink on one side you had this cavernous pantry space.

Really functional kitchen and i think we counted as we went round i think we counted five water points didn't we yeah five all accessible and fed by the pump so not one gravity one there amongst them that kitchen was really interesting there's a great big box on the back of.

The camper that you swing around and fold down but it all opens out and here's this huge stainless steel prep space for the cooker in it you sink over here that pantry was probably the biggest that we've seen so far you know one little thing i like too and i it's so it must be so cheap to deliver.

On but it's so handy there's custom foam inserts with a custom cutlery so when you're traveling the back roads you get to the end of the day you open it up and things are where you left them they haven't been rattled from one end of the pantry to the other.

Really simple really functional makes a really big difference when you're traveling you get all your crockery and your cutlery and all that sort of stuff supplied it's all there in those little foam inserts when you were buying the awning was reflective coated which was really really good you don't always.

See that the awning space as you say with a 360 degree awning around a unit that's that size i mean you could live out there for a week you could have a small world of wildebeesting with you and you wouldn't notice they were there it was absolutely immense it was an optional extra to have the side walls.

That you could create a really massive living space  in terms of comfort i was surprised to see a little sink inside there was so much living space outside i wasn't entirely sure that i would need that in there but it was just that little added point of.

Comfort and luxury i suppose you're lying there in your bed you're brushing your teeth inside it's really really nice a nice camper and how did it feel on the tow ball tim from a towability point of view the boma is super compact which is really good it's on leaf springs which personally i don't mind.

For repairability it's great and it's a very predictable ride doesn't lurch much in corners do you think the bushwacker bomber represented good value for money tim look at 49 500 all up and that's including a fully fitted out kitchen it is actually very good value for money and the reason why i say so is it has.

Great social opportunities so once it's fully unpacked and the awnings are right out it's just a great place to be with so much space both inside and out you've got twin double beds with inner sprung mattresses inside a sink inside as we've said and then outside you've got.

Lighting throughout the awning and you've got the kitchen area at the back and you've got two side areas where you could put some swags for your mates you could put a dining table out there to so much space that's social aspect and that amount of volume it offers when it's fully open for a decent amount of self-sufficiency.

So 50 grand or just under it's pretty good value i've written down in my notes here we've got 210 amp hour batteries you've got 160 watts on the roof for solar 110 liter stainless tank you can fit two nine liter gas tanks at that front portion.

And there's still room for three jerry cans one of the things that bushwacker talk about is that this is pitched as a true off-road camper and so it's interesting always when people start talking about that to think about dust proofing because if you're going to be true off-road you want to be able to unfurl your bed.

At the end of the day and find that it's not covered in half a buckets worth of outback dust the seals on the unit they're all really utilitarian you know just the sort of thing that you need when you pull that thing down you know that it's locked and loaded and it's going to be in the same condition.

At the end of the day as it was when you started okay the the bushwacker boma cool like a savannah breeze and built tough like an elephant if you want to see luxury in off-road caravans take a closer look at this one the xt-16hr east-west.

Has been designed for the discerning buyer who wants that bit extra the bed being an east-west aspect allows a much larger sleeping area without compromising the living space in the van with a generous 200 millimeter inner spring mattress with a pillow top for comfort.
