One such technology is the LiFEPo4 lithium battery, which drastically reduces the weight of the Trayons power system compared to the industry standard AGM batteries. One of the biggest issues with stock utes are their factory shock absorbers. Generally built for lightweight road driving, not the Australian Outback. Needless to say, these kinds of builds did not lend themselves to the rigours of outback travel/touring as they often broke the vehicle they sat on or broke themselves under their own weight .
By the nature of these vehicles, they are intended for off road use. The Tong Camper is attached to your vehicle tray using four M10 heavy duty bolts. This is the only system of attachment that is offered for the Tong Camper. The Tong camper is designed to include the coaming rail notch on each side of the camper. This ensures that the camper fits the majority of 4 x 4 ute trays in the market. Our camper trailer designs offer versatility and ongoing strength to take you into Australia’s harshest places.
Each model sets the highest benchmark for optimum space, functionality and living standards in their class.

You can get GVM upgrades done to most vehicles to increase payload, and if you have the budget for it, it is worth considering. If you decide on a Dual Cab ute, you might also benefit from a chassis extension so you can still fit a full-size camper on the back while still having a 5 seater. It simply means that the weight of all additions to the vehicle, including accessories, people, luggage, campers, tray back, etc must be less than or equal to 1.268 tonnes. Here are 7 steps we recommend people follow when trying to decide which make & model of slide on camper to choose. So grab your best camping chair and a cuppa and let’s get started.
The campers generally have a hard roof structure of some sort. To be used for weekend campers, but also sustain long-distance touring. Note that, partial rear folding oyster designs are more susceptible to dust penetrating the seal from the trailing wind funnel of the vehicle when travelling in the Outback. This has reduced your load to 723 kg, giving you a maximum of 545kg for a slide on camper and any additional gear you want to take.

So there is no need to have a steel tray that eats up precious payload capacity. There is a reason outback Australia is commonly called Landcruiser country. That’s because the Landcruiser 70 series is the trusted platform for farmers. Payload specification for your ute is not always listed in the manual or on the vehicle. You can check out all our 4×4 vehicle reviews to get an idea of what we think of each vehicle. The reality is we now have strict rules for vehicle payloads which are enforced by traffic departments and insurance claims are scrutinised to determine if the vehicle was “overloaded“.
A slide-on camper is simply a ute camper that slides onto the back of a pickup/utility vehicle that has a flat tray or platform it can be mounted on. It was brilliant pulling up at the end of the day, popping a few catches and having camp set up almost instantly. We really appreciated being able to access the rooftop tent through the tub. Our canvas front awning assisted by lightweight aluminium support poles is structurally able to withstand strong winds and extreme weather conditions .
