We designed and built the original Thrifty Camper in 1976. The design proved very popular and the interior layout has changed only slightly since then. The camper provides a fully furnished and functional interior for independent travel at a budget price.

Camper Van Floor Plan
It features a carpeted floor with curtains all around, and a day sofa which pulls out to become a double bed or two single beds. A weatherproof awning with ground sheet fits over the rear door and can be pegged into the ground. The awning provides standing room with convenient access to the campervan and privacy when changing clothes. You can sleep with the rear door open and awning attached, or with the rear door closed. A mosquito net fits over the passenger window to provide a fresh breeze at night.
The kitchen area is located at the rear of the campervan; it includes a double gas cooker, cabinet and fold down table. Prepare meals while standing in the awning, or while sitting on the day sofa. A kitchen set including cooking/eating utensils and wash basin is included.
240 volt power connection and hanging light can be used when staying on a powered site in a holiday park. The camper contains a multi box to charge additional items like digital cameras or cell phones.
Optional items for hire include a fridge, dvd player with free movies, outdoor table with chairs, solar shower and linen pack.
Insurance (included): Standard excess is $2,000
Our standard insurance excess on all of our vehicles is $2,000. This is the most you would have to pay in the unlikely event of an accident. This covers both single and multiple vehicle accidents.
Zero Excess (optional): $15 per day or maximum $300 per hire
You can choose to purchase the Zero Excess, which means if you have an accident, you do not have to pay anything. This also includes multiple tyre punctures. |
