Keen caravan watchers might be familiar with the Bushranger Joey , a hybrid single-axle camper that ’ s been on the market for 14 years . In that time , the Joey hasn ’ t seen a great deal of change … until now .
One of the key benefits of the Joey – which has always been a solid rig – is its compact size , while still offering all the comforts you ’ d need for long-haul travels around Australia . Its size has long offered vanners the opportunity to access campsites that owners of larger offroad vans had to pass by .
While it remains compact – 12ft , in fact – the Bushranger Joey now comes with a side door entrance , whereas previously it had only been available with a rear door . No doubt this small change alone will increase its appeal .
It is also now built atop a hotdipped-galvanised chassis . It also now comes with 16in alloy wheels , electric brakes and a DO35 as standard fitment ; in the past , it used a Treg polyblock coupling and had 15in alloys and 10in electric brakes .
The water tank has also been upgraded . In the past , the Joey was offered with a 63L water tank , with a second tank available as an option . Now , it has a 95L tank as standard .
Other key upgrades include a 100Ah lithium battery , a Projecta battery management system , an indoor and outdoor kitchen that includes a 110L Dometic fridge , and loads of storage lockers .
While in our opinion , the Bushranger Joey was always a go-anywhere hybrid worthy of our offroad tracks , it ’ s safe to say that a great camper has suddenly been turned into an excellent one .
