UTE Camping Canopies in Australia

A HSV Maloo UteThis kind of “ute” is the Australian equivalent of a “truck” in the US when owned by someone who doesn’t intend to do things like go off-road or use it for work. The same kind of person who’d own a Ford F150 Raptor would likely own a Holden SS Ute. Mechanics like the Triton because it’s a reliable machine for which it’s easy to find parts and is easy to repair , but which doesn’t carry the “Toyota Premium”. The 7th generation Hilux stayed fundamentally the same internally since 2004, which means you can pick up an older model and be sure to find the engine parts as needed. However, like other vehicles in this guide, get a 2009+ manual Hilux so that you can get cruise control. Many 4×4 vehicles are taken to places like Phillip Island and other places where they’ll get splashed with salt water.
Transport and safeguard valuable work equipment, wherever your trade takes you. With a lightweight ute tool canopy, you can get the job done while storing your supplies securely and keeping the Gross Vehicle Mass down. Plus, with add-ons like roof racks, fridges and more, you can create the ultimate ute canopy work-and-play inflatable house tent setup. Our team is here to help you fit out your ute trade canopy with dedicated work, tool and camping storage spaces. The pop-up truck camper offers numerous advantages over the hard-side. The pop-up is not only lighter, thus allowing lower-rated trucks to carry it, but is also more nimble off-road.

Scattered around the canopy, in handy spots, are a number of 12-volt and USB sockets for powering and charging all those power-hungry items we seem to have these days. All Jacksons’ vehicle-based product, such as canopies, trays and slide-on campers are made from aluminium, significantly cutting down on weight. Back that up by the best cad-cam design, computer controlled machinery and fine welding, and you have the impressive basis for a great camper. Typically, our customers have campers on the back and set their vehicle up as a touring vehicle for long-distance travel with a chassis extension no more than 450mm. So the benefits of better weight distribution, the ability to add long-range fuel tanks and having a more comfortable ride outweigh the break-over angle reduction. The bedroom is reached easily by a step in the dining area, and once you’re up there, you can open the sunroof and the windows on either side, and you don’t really want to leave.

The rear entry feels bigger and means we don’t need to take turns for floorspace, equating to convenience and efficiency. Without wanting to go into all the specifics of a high school science lesson, aluminium is "pure" metal with many commercial applications. It's lightweight but remarkably durable and it can be formed into all sorts of shapes. By  contrast, alloys are created from blends of a range of different metals — it's a catch-all term to describe a substance that's created from more than one metal. Nickel, pewter and stainless steel are all common alloys. Stainless steel, for example, can be used to make excellent toolboxes and other storage — but the end results will be substantially heavier than your average aluminium toolboxes.

I felt much more comfortable renting from a local family-owned business as opposed to one of the larger companies. Very personable and accommodating for  all of our needs to see the coast of WA, arguably one of the most beautiful coastlines in the world. We highly recommend Go Camper for those that want to have good services and quality. Smooth ride all the way to Exmouth, good on fuel, big fridge, loads of space for all our things and bed was pretty comfy. This is the 2nd time I have hired from Go Camper, and would certainly do again. Stress free travel from original booking to returning the van.
