Sunbelt-Savvy Caddy Builds
Australia knows a thing or two about distance, dust, and the art of making a small space do big things. Caddy Campers Australia channels that spirit into conversions that make the VW Caddy feel brave and capable. Expect slide-out kitchens, robust storage, and layouts built to survive corrugations and campsite spontaneity.
There’s a refreshing lack of faff here. Furniture is rugged, the bed platform is straightforward, and the whole package feels like it’s been tested the hard way. If you want to cook with the horizon as your backsplash, the tailgate setups here make the dream feel normal. Add in simple power solutions, lighting, and thoughtful little touches—hooks, nets, and shelves—and you’ve got a micro camper that’s genuinely tour-ready.
Driving remains unbothered: keep the build sensible, and the Caddy still sips fuel and cruises happily. Where these Aussie builds shine is at camp—fast setup, easy pack-down, and a clear flow from kitchen to bed so you’re not turning the van upside-down every time you misplace a mug.
Who it’s for: Travelers who prize durability, day-in, day-out usability, and a sunny climate’s practicality.
Best bit: The tailgate-first layout philosophy—cook, store, sleep in harmony.
Consider if: You want soft-touch boutique interiors. This is adventure-forward kit.
Notes and quick tips for picking your Caddy conversion:
Payload and weight: Mind your mass. More weight means worse handling, braking, and economy.
Ventilation and condensation: Even with a micro-camper, airflow is king. Crack a window, use a tailgate tent or wind deflectors.
Legalities: If you go beyond modular, check insurance and classification rules in your region.
Storage discipline: Small vans reward travelers who pack like they’re boarding a spaceship. Bins, soft bags, and ruthless lists help.
