A Camper built for 2

[Matto]

Sorry Matto - we have a lifestyle Icon and the tropical roof is over the whole camper, even the bed section and no you don't have to put the annexe walls up every time. We don't bother for overnight stays, only for longer ones.
And..... perfect for couples, we love our lifestyle Icon.

There you go then - good to hear from an actual owner to set the record straight. So if you're not setting up just for an overnighter, does the main tent section stand up by itself, and you leave the awning folded back over the tent?

As for the tropical roof, that's an oversight on my part. I thought it was weird, but couldn't see any trace of the tropical roof over the tent section. Again, I've not seen one first hand, so was just going off photos.

If you've got any shots of yours, please post them up - I'd welcome having a look at it.

Cheers!

Hi, we have a cape york explorer hard floor CT and it hasn't missed a beat. At first it was just the 2 of us and now it is 3, but still plenty of room. The advantage of the hard floor campers is easy set up and pack up especially if you are touring, our longest trip was 8 weeks, and even after 8 weeks we were not tired of putting it up and down most days.  (We are doing 12 months next year with the camper, we are that happy with it)

I like that fact that everything has its place, and you don't have to pull all your stuff out and pack it up in the morning before moving on, basically make the bed, fold it up and you are out of there again.

We went and looked at quite a few different campers and hired a soft floor camper for a weekend before making up our mind, after using the soft floor for a weekend, it sealed the hard floor camper for us. Have a few wines or rums at night and the climb up in the soft floor was a very tricky adventure, and getting back in half way through the night after the convenience stop was also a challenge

The biggest bonus is the ability to have a full size queen size innerspring mattress in the camper too

Travelander may also be a good option - remote controlled opening and closing too!

These quicksilver light weight campers would be ok for a couple, http://www.livinlite.com/6.0-overview.php
They are available here in Australia with the door on the correct side .

2 berth demo unit available for around $30k.




Cheers, Phil.

Hi JD, first couple are at home in Tas just before we headed north, the one with the awning is in Mildura, that was the first night anyone had slept in this van. This van had done less than 20Km before we took it on a ten week trip to the cape.

Must be dark inside there?

Only one small window?

Is it a custom home made design?
would like to see some internal picsif possible

Then there is a Tear Drop CT Small light & ready to go very little set up at all   

[Alan Loy]

I like the tear drop concept.  I would class the tvan as one (the drawbar weight puts me off Tvans).

Who makes tough off road tear drops?

[Matto]

I'll also admit to forgetting the TVan. I like them - that what I'd have if I was after a camper just for 2. No canvas over your sleeping area, super-quick setup if it's raining/late - I love them.

I think (don't quote me, and keep in mind I've already been very wrong earlier in this same thread) that the drawbar weight on the TVans is only a problem if you go for the top-specc model and get the bigger storage box, or the forward water tank, or something along those lines. I can't remember who it was, but someone here in Cairns bought one and had to take it back because of the drawbar weight. But I believe their view was that the lower-spec models without the big box on the front were fine.

As for who makes them, I'd say this guy :

...but postage might be a killer. For someone local, maybe dangle a suitcase full of money in front of SteveF:

Good luck!
