How to Hitch your coupling

Here is a short guide on how to safely use your coupling to couple and uncouple the
trailer from the towing vehicle.

Make sure the handbrake is applied prior to coupling and uncoupling.

8

1300 4X4 4X4

Make sure the dust cap is securely connected to the bump cover. This is done by locating the rear lip on the
dust cap onto the groove of the bump cover and then pushing it in a downward motion until the dust cover is
secure (there should be a slight click when it has been assembled correctly) Test if the dust cover is connected
to the bump cover by applying a slight upward force to the dust cover, it shouldn’t separate.
This procedure should be applied if you are uncoupling or coupling up.

STEP 1

Push down the button (1) and push the locking mechanism back (2). When the locking mechanism (2) is all
the way back, release the button (1) locking the plate in place

9

1300 4X4 4X4

STEP 2

Offer up the tow pin to the coupling making sure the tow pin cover is removed and there is no visible debris on
it. Locking plate should be in unlocked position as shown. Lower the coupling onto the tow pin.

STEP 3

Make sure the tow pin is seated inside the universal and the tow pin top is sticking out of the locking
mechanism (see below). Press the button (1) to release the locking mechanism there will be an audible
locking noise at which point the mechanism will return to the initial position as shown in step 1. Verify the pin is
correctly through the mechanism and assemble the cap. If the cap will not fit check the locking mechanism is
in the correct locked orientation.

Seng up your Caravan

Loading Your Caravan

It is important to load your caravan correctly to distribute weight evenly and achieve a suitable ball weight load and
prevent loading in a manner that can cause a caravan to sway and/or roll excessively left and right. The optimum ball
weight on a caravan is between 9 and 11% of the total caravan weight.

WARNING: BALL LOADING (DOWNWARD LOAD ON TOW HITCH) MUST NOT EXCEED 350KG OR THE
MAXIMUM ALLOWABLE LOAD BY THE VEHICLE MANUFACTURER OR TOW BAR RATING, WHICH EVER IS
THE LOWEST. Exceeding these limits may result in an accident causing serious injury or death and/or
property damage.

• Always load evenly to both sides of the caravan

• Load heavy weight over or as close to over the axle as possible and as low as possible

• Overhead cupboards should only be used for lightweight items such as clothes, personal items, bedding etc.

• Heavy cooking equipment should be stored in lower cupboards.

• Tinned food, bottled goods for cooking etc should be stored in the pantry cupboard.

• Never load in a manner that causes the ball weight to exceed the limit of the tow vehicle.

• Ensure no items can move during travel. Secure all items to prevent damage to the caravan.

• Consider water tank levels and how they may affect the balance front and back and the percentage of ball

weight.

• Never store heavy items in overhead cupboards.

The diagram below illustrates best placements of items based on weight.

Choosing a Spot to Set Up

When choosing a spot to set up your caravan, start with a flat area with no overhanging trees. Birds and bats
occupying trees can defecate leaving droppings on your caravan that can damage paint and leaves and sap can also
stain the coating. Ensure you are not camping in an area prone to flooding or with bad drainage in the event of rain.
Even the slightest hollow in the ground can put you in a mini lake. In hot weather if possible, set your caravan up so
the sun’s arc goes from front to back or back to front with the annex/awning in the general direction the sun is arcing
across. Doing this will keep the bulk of the caravan in shade and the inside cooler as it will be shaded by the awning.

13

1300 4X4 4X4

Levelling Your Caravan

The stabiliser legs on your caravan are not designed for supporting the full weight of the trailer, they are there to
stabilise it once it is level. Using your stabilisers as a lifting mechanism will void your warranty as will extending them
with a “rattle gun” or “impact wrench”. Levelling front to back can be done by raising and lowering the jockey wheel

prior to adjusting the ramps as illustrated below. Once levelled the legs can be lowered to keep the trailer stable. On
soft ground you may want to use timber sole boards under the stabiliser feet. Getting the trailer level from left to right
should be done with drive on stepped

Site Power

The Projecta charger in your caravan is connected via the 15A exterior socket. To use site power, you will require a
15A power lead connected to a 15A outlet (figure 1). In the event a 15A outlet is unavailable you will need a
conversion box that will step up from 10A to 15A with a safety switch. Never leave power leads coiled when in use, lay
the lead out back and forward in a manner that won’t be a trip hazard or risk damage to the lead.

14

1300 4X4 4X4

Kitchen

Before sliding out kitchen, raise the pad bolt and turn to lock in the up position (Fig: 2)
Push down blue latch on the slide mechanism and pull kitchen out. (Fig: 2a)

When kitchen is extended fit the support leg into its receiver (Fig: 3)
Extend support leg and secure locking screw (Fig: 3a)

Fig: 3 Fig: 3a

Preparing for Bad Weather

During inclement weather the following should be done:

• Close all roof vents and hatches to prevent water entering.

• Protect the awning from high winds by retracting or securing with guy ropes and pegs.

• Ensure your caravan is not parked in ground that will become boggy and prevent exiting the camp area

• Close all external doors and hatches to prevent water ingress and wind damage

15

1300 4X4 4X4

Packing Down Your Caravan

When packing down your caravan ensure the following:

• All gas and electric appliances are turned off

• Gas is turned off at the gas bottle

• All loose items are secured and unable to move and damage themselves or the caravan

• All cabinet doors are secured and locked along with all drawers closed

• Site power lead is removed and stowed

• Doorstep is raised and secured

• All roof hatches lowered and secure

• All windows closed and locked

• Main door is closed and locked

• All dust covers in place and secure

Storage & Care

Long Term Storage

To maximise the life of your caravan you should consider additional protection from the elements. UV light and
moisture can have an adverse effect on materials when left unprotected outside. This section outlines some of the
things you can do as an owner to protect your investment.

Interior

Moisture in the smallest amounts can cause mould. High humidity and cooling temperatures can create condensation,
additionally condensation can form under mattresses due to temperature differences between warm bodies on top and
the bed base being cold from outside temperatures. As a precaution you can do the following:

• Check under mattress for moisture before packing up. If moisture is found allow to thoroughly dry before
closing your camper.

• Store 1 or 2 moisture absorbing packs/dehumidifier packs in the caravan to draw away any residual water
vapour.

• If packing up with damp or humid conditions, open and dry out the caravan at the first opportunity when
returning home. Dry all canvas thoroughly and follow point 2.

Exterior

Ensure all seals on the caravan have proper compression at 30-50%, are free of dirt and have nothing protruding past
the seals. UV light and the elements can over time cause seals and fittings to perish and become brittle. The use of a
caravan cover or tarpaulin will extend the life of components and keep your investment looking better for longer.

Batteries

When storing your caravan, ensure all power is turned off to ensure batteries aren’t drained. Batteries should be
maintenance charged at least monthly when stored. Allowing batteries to drain below 12.05 volts may permanently
damage them.

16

1300 4X4 4X4

Securing Your Caravan

When parked and unhitched you should always use suitable wheel chocks to ensure the trailer can’t move in the event
of a handbrake failure. For security a wheel clamp or and hitch lock are highly recommended.

Torque Settings

Wheel Nuts

Wheel nuts should be tightened to correct torque using a torque wrench. Never trust a “rattle gun” as these may over
or under tighten. A quality torque wrench will ensure nuts are tightened correctly. It’s important to remember to check
your wheel nuts at 50km, 500km and 1000km and periodically thereafter. The correct torque setting of 125Nm for
12mm studs, 140nm for 14mm studs and alloy wheels and 200nm for 14mm studs with steel rims. Refer to the plate
on your drawbar.

17

1300 4X4 4X4

Hitch

The high tensile bolts securing your hitch should be tightened to 76Nm. These should be checked at 5000km intervals
or 2500km in harsh off-road conditions.

Trailing Arm Pivot Bolts

The pivot bolts are a high tensile steel. The service interval for these bolts is 5000km under normal use and 2500km
for harsh off-road conditions. During travel they should be inspected daily to ensure they have not rotated or become
damaged. Correct torque is 190Nm

Brakes and Handbrake - Electric

Features

Your trailer is fitted with electric brakes that require a brake controller that can be operated from the driver’s seat.

1. Manual adjusted to provide the correct braking capability for varying road, off-road and load conditions.

2. They can be modulated to provide variable braking force, thus easing the brake load on the towing vehicle.

3. There is very little lag time between the moment the tow vehicle’s brakes are actuated and the moment the
trailer brakes are actuated.

4. They can provide some braking independent of the tow vehicle in the event of an emergency.

Operation

When electrical current is fed into the system by the controller, it activates the electromagnets in the brakes. These
electromagnets are energized and are attracted to the rotating surface of the drums which moves the actuating levers
in the direction that the drums are turning thus applying pressure from the brake linings to the drum surface

Trailer Plug Wiring

The following diagrams outline the correct wiring for 7 pin plug

18

1300 4X4 4X4

Breakaway Switch

By law, all trailers with an ATM of 2000kg or greater must have a “Breakaway System” to halt the trailer in the event it
becomes detached from the tow vehicle whilst traveling. Your caravan is fitted with this system with the switch
mounted on the drawbar with a steel wire lanyard to connect to your tow vehicle. In the event that the caravan
becomes detached, the lanyard will pull the pin from the breakaway switch and the onboard batteries will activate the
brake system. The lanyard must be attached to a solid part of the vehicle. It is a mandatory requirement that power be
supplied by the tow vehicle to the breakaway power source while towing. This is done via the 50amp Anderson Plug
on the drawbar. Consult a qualified auto electrician to ensure this is fitted to your tow vehicle.
In NSW there is an additional requirement that the breakaway power source be monitored from the driver position with
a minimum of a “visual alarm” for low battery voltage. Consult a qualified auto electrician to ensure this is fitted to your
vehicle.
Breakaway Switch Anderson Plug

CAUTION:

• DO NOT CONNECT THE BREAKAWAY LANYARD TO THE SAME POINT AS THE SAFETY CHAIN
SHACKLES.

• DO NOT USE THE BREAKAWAY AS AN ALTERNATIVE TO THE HANDBRAKE AND DO NOT REMOVE
THE PIN AS AN ALTERNATIVE SECURITY MEASURE. REMOVING THE PIN WILL RAPIDLY DISCHARGE
THE BATTERIES.

• IT IS A MANDATORY REQUIREMENT THAT THE BREAKAWAY BATTERY SOURCE BE CHARGED
DURING TOWING.

• NSW REQUIRES A BATTERY MONITOR VIEWABLE FROM THE DRIVERS POSITION WITH A MINIMUM
OF A VISUAL ALARM FOR LOW BATTERY VOLTAGE

Hand Brake

Parking brakes are mechanically operated by cable means. The cable attachment occurs outside of the brake backing
plate. Cable force applied to the parking lever creates a torque through the pivot pin and cam assembly. Torque
transferred to the parking cam results in a spreading force between the primary and secondary shoes. The shoes in
turn, move towards the drum until contact is made. Friction generated between the drum and lining contact surface
results in parking brake capability.

Use the cable adjuster to give sufficient tension to be able to set the handbrake lever on the last two notches of the
coupling or handbrake is 1/3 raised when unladen. This needs to be checked again when the trailer or caravan is
loaded. If the cable is too tight, the brakes will be applied as the axle moves backward under spring deflection.

19

1300 4X4 4X4

Adjuster

To adjust the handbrake cable tension release locknuts A, B and C in the diagram Handbrake Adjuster 1 below. To
tighten the handbrake cable turn the adjuster wheel D in a clockwise direction. Once adjusted retighten lock nuts and
test. Always ensure that wheels turn freely when handbrake is off. Overtightened cables can cause brakes to drag and
damage the brake linings.

Correct Use of Your Electric Brakes

Your trailer brakes are designed to work in synchronisation with your tow vehicle brakes. Never use your tow vehicle
or trailer brakes alone to stop the combined load. Your trailer and tow vehicle will seldom have the correct amperage
flow to the brake magnets to give you comfortable, safe braking unless you make proper brake system adjustments.
Changing trailer load and driving conditions, as well as uneven alternator and battery output, can mean unstable
current flow to your brake magnets. It is therefore imperative that you maintain and adjust your brakes as set forth in
the controller manual, use a properly modulated brake controller and perform the synchronisation/adjustment
procedure recommended by the brake controller supplier.

Important Safety Notice

Proven and in some cases approved service methods and correct repair procedures are
essential for the safe, reliable operation of the brakes, suspension and axles as well as the
personal safety of the individual doing the work. This manual intends to provide general
directions for performing service and repair work with tested, effective techniques. By
following these guidelines, it will help assure

reliability. The numerous variations in procedures, techniques, tools and parts for servicing

axles, as well as in the skill of the individual doing the work will determine outcomes. This
manual cannot possibly anticipate all such variations nor provide advice or cautions as to each. Accordingly, anyone
who departs from the instructions provided in this manual must first establish that they neither compromise their
personal safety nor the vehicle integrity by their choice of methods, tool’s or parts.

*If at all in doubt please refer all repairs and maintenance to a suitably qualified or experienced mechanical repairer.

*Market Direct Campers accepts no liability for personal injury, loss or damage resulting from incorrect applications,
methods and failure to perform maintenance safely and correctly.

20

1300 4X4 4X4

Brake Adjustment

Brakes should be adjusted (1) after the first 300 km’s of operation when the brake shoes and drums have “seated,” (2)
at 5000 km’s intervals, (3) or as use and performance requires. The brakes should be adjusted in the following
manner:

Never crawl under your trailer unless it is resting on properly placed jack stands. Do not
place supports on any part of the suspension system and use the designated jack point or
under the spring base plate to jack trailer.

Brake Cleaning and Inspection

Your trailer brakes must be inspected and serviced at 5000km or more often as required by use and performance.
Magnets and shoes must be changed when they become worn or scored to avoid inefficient vehicle braking.

Brake Lubrication

This should only be done by qualified persons.

Caution

Do not get grease or oil on the brake linings, drums or magnets.

Magnets

Your electric brakes are equipped with high quality electromagnets that are designed to provide the proper input force
and friction characteristics. Your magnets should be inspected and replaced if worn unevenly or abnormally.

Even if wear is normal as indicated by your straightedge, the magnets should be replaced if any part of the magnet coil
has become visible through the friction material facing of the magnet. It is also recommended that the drum armature
surface be refaced when replacing magnets.

Magnets should also be replaced in pairs - both sides of the axle. Always use genuine MDC OEM parts.

21

1300 4X4 4X4

Shoes and Linings

A simple visual inspection of your brake linings will tell if they are useable.

Replacement is necessary if the lining is worn (to within 1.5mm or less), contaminated with grease or oil or abnormally
scored or gouged. It is important to replace both shoes on each brake and both brakes of the same axle. This is
necessary to retain the “balance” of your brakes. Be sure to replace your shoes only with genuine MDC parts available
from our outlets.

Corrosion Prevention

It’s important to take steps to prevent corrosion of parts on your trailer to extend the service life. Many fittings are high
tensile and therefor zinc plated. Fittings such as this can benefit from additional protection. Some helpful products to
prevent corrosion are “Lanotec”, “WD40”, “Inox” and similar products. These can be spray applied and do a very good
job of protecting metal surfaces, particularly in corrosive and aggressive environments near the ocean and inland
waterways.

Often, we take our campers and caravans to salt water environments. Driving through salt water is never
recommended as the residual chloride ions accelerate corrosion greatly. If you are camping near or driving through
these kinds of environments, we highly recommend that your trailer be thoroughly cleaned after use. Flushing the
chassis and washing and rinsing your trailer is important.

Wheels and Tyres

Highway

Your caravan is fitted with 16” wheels and 265/75 R16 Goodride Tyres. The tyres are a “Light Truck” typre with a mud
terrain tread and a maximum load rating on single axle of 1550kg at 80psi.

Recommended highway pressure at tare weight of the caravan is 50-56psi

Recommended highway pressure at ATM of 3000kg is 74-77psi

Off Road

Off road driving requires lower tyre pressures and lower speeds. When driving on rough and corrugated road, a
reduction of speed and controlled deflation of tyres is required to protect the caravan and its suspension from damage.
In extreme circumstances tyre pressures may be reduced significantly. When lowering from highway pressure, a rule
of thumb is to reduce your speed by the same percentage as the lowering of tyre pressure.

Because off road conditions can vary greatly, you must lower your pressures and reduce speed until vibration and
shock through the suspension is at a moderate level to suit the conditions you are experiencing, and the loaded weight
of your caravan.

WARNING: When returning to the highway or when increasing speed, you must reinflate the tyres to correct highway
pressures. Failure to reinflate can cause severe handling problems resulting in injury or death.

Electrical Systems

Chargers & Inverters

For detailed information on the appliances installed in your camper please refer to the manuals included in your
camper handover.

Caution

Electrical devices can be dangerous. Under no circumstances should repairs and
modifications be attempted by unqualified or untrained persons. MDC accepts no liability for
any personal injury, damages or loss as a result of unqualified or untrained persons repairing
or altering the electrical systems on this product. If in doubt call your local MDC outlet or
phone: [phone]

Battery Care

Your camper is fitted with 100Ah AGM Batteries. Storage type batteries require periodical maintenance to perform at
their peak and extend their service life. The following is an outline on how to gain the best performance and lifecycle
from the battery fitted in your camper:

• Always use a quality charger that caters to the voltage requirements of an AGM battery. Absorption charging
is from 14.6v to 14.8v, float charging is from 13.2v to 13.8v.

• Never leave your battery stored at low volts. Before storing your camper ensure that battery/s is fully charged
and all power is disconnected/switched off.

• When possible leave the battery connected to a smart charger that will cycle and maintain the battery during
storage. If this isn’t possible check and charge at regular intervals to prevent excessive discharge.

• Never use unregulated solar power direct to your batteries.

• When in use try to keep your battery at or as close to maximum capacity as possible.

• Allowing your battery voltage to drop below 12.5v can permanently damage its performance and reduce its

service life.

Gas & Water Systems

Hot Water System

WARNING: The flue outlet on your gas hot water system must be uncovered prior to use. Open the protective dust
cabinet and remove the white cover before use.
Do not operate whilst towing.
Do not operate in enclosed spaces

Your caravan is fitted with a Truma boiler hot water system. Please read the manual provided with this system at the
time of purchase. For further information go to

ultrarapid-hws.html

To watch the video tutorial on turning on the hot water system, scan the code with your smartphone.

https://www.truma.com/au/en/products/truma-hot-water-system/truma-

Water Pumps

The pump when switched on is activated by the release of pressure at the tap and will pump water continuously until
the tap is turned off and pressure restored. Should the pumps activate while the taps is turned off this could indicate a
leak and require investigation and rectification.

25

1300 4X4 4X4

Connecting the Gas

WARNING: Your caravan is fitted with a gas detector. Check operation of the gas detector each time you use
your caravan.

Your caravan is fitted with plumbed gas with the regulator and gas bottle placement at the front of the trailer. Always
ensure gas bottles are serviceable and within the 10-year service life. This information is stamped on the bottle base.

Once you connect your gas bottle you can connect the kitchen gas hose to the bayonet connection provided. (Fig:5)

Once the bayonet is secure, ensure all controls on the stove are in the “Off” position and then turn on the gas bottle
valve. If your kitchen stove is fitted with electric ignition, plug the connector into the 12v socket beside the kitchen and
turn on the required burner whilst pressing the ignition button. When the burner ignites hold the button down for 5
seconds then release. NOTE: It will take up to a minute or so for the gas to purge the line and flow through the

burners.

Your gas monitor will be located at floor level.

Protecting from Mould

Mould is very difficult to clean once a porous surface
is affected. There are several ways you can prevent
the occurrence of mould on your caravan.
Never leave your camper packed away wet. If you
must leave a campsite with wet canvas or a damn
interior, be sure to open and dry out your tent
thoroughly at the very first opportunity when you get
home. Mould can develop in just a couple of days so
don’t take the risk.
When packing up dry, it is important to check under the mattress that there is no build-up of condensation overnight.
Body heat on a mattress can create enough temperature difference with the exterior for moisture to form under it. If left
unchecked this can cause mould when your caravan is stored.

Pre-Trip Checklist

Working from a checklist will help avoid forgetting important tasks particularly nin regard to safety. Individual camper
set ups may differ depending on tow vehicle and any modifications made by the owner. The table below is for
guidance only.

Useful Accessories

Levelling Blocks

These are excellent for levelling your trailer on set up. Stabiliser legs are not meant for correcting the trailer angle, they
are there to keep it stable when people are in it. Using levelling blocks will extend the service life of the stabiliser legs
and make set up much safer and faster. See below images.

27

1300 4X4 4X4

Wheel Chocks

Wheel chocks are an important safety device when leaving your trailer parked on even the slightest incline. On level
ground it is recommended to chock both sides of the wheel. On a hill you should chock the wheels on the downhill side
ensuring the chocks

Covers

Hard floor campers and caravans will benefit greatly from a storage cover. Perishable fittings such as rubber seals and
plastic will be protected from UV radiation. Paint and gelcoat finishes will oxidise less and this will extend the service
life of these finishes.

Stone Protection

There are proprietary devices available that assist in protecting your trailer from stones thrown up by the tow vehicle.
Rock Tamer and Stone Stomper are two of the most commonly used.

Handy Tips

Driving Off Road

Towing your caravan off road adds many dimensions to the driver’s responsibilities and factors to be considered.
When travelling remote always carry enough spare parts and supplies to cater for a “worst case scenario.”
Always perform preventative maintenance and daily checks. Minimum trailer spares would consist of:

• Wheel Bearings

• Seals

• Wheel studs and nuts

These are available from Market Direct Campers

Wildlife

Australian outback roads are notorious for wandering stock and native wildlife which can be a serious danger to
motorists. Due care must always be taken, and the possibility of an animal strike considered in regard to speed and
time of day you are driving. Most animals in the outback are more active at night which greatly increases the likelihood
of an animal strike between dusk and dawn. Towing a camper or caravan increases braking distance and has inherent
risk associated with aggressive and defensive manoeuvring to avoid a collision.

Corrugations & rough road

Corrugations are arguably the most taxing and damaging road conditions to vehicles. Constant vibration can loosen
vehicle components and as a stress dynamic to vehicles and drivers well in excess of normal road driving. In these
conditions take regular breaks to reduce driver fatigue and fatigue to vehicles. Shock absorbers can become
extremely hot on corrugated roads which can cause damage to seals resulting in shock absorber fade (reduction in
damping effect) and in extreme cases failure of the seal completely. On rough and corrugated roads, it’s important to
adjust tyre pressures on your car and trailer to soften the effect and extend the contact patch of the tyre on the road.

Bulldust

This phenomenon is common on outback roads. Fine dust can settle in large holes obscuring them from unsuspecting
drivers. It is important to reduce speed in these conditions and drive carefully to avoid the possibility of damage or an
accident.

Sand

When driving on sand it is important to lower tyre pressures on both the vehicle and trailer. By lowering the pressure
you will effectively create a larger footprint for the tyre which will reduce how far it sinks in sand. Sand shape and
compaction will vary around the country so necessary reduction in tyre pressure will vary. Always keep in mind the
lower the pressure the lower the speed you should travel. When lowering pressures to 20psi or less you also increase
the chance of rolling the bead of the tyre off the rim so sharp turns should be avoided. When driving these conditions,
it is strongly advised you carry a tyre pressure gauge/deflator and a portable compressor to reinflate when back on the
highway.

Causeways

Outback roads often have causeways to control water runoff and prevent erosion of the road. When travelling at speed
these causeways can be a danger to motorists and vehicles so due care should be taken to reduce speed when
approaching them. In very remote areas these often won’t have signposts so special care should be taken in these
areas.

Creek and River Crossings

These crossings can be extremely dangerous even in low water levels and should never be attempted in times of even
mild flooding. Towing a camper or caravan greatly elevates the risk in this situation and should never be attempted
unless you are completely assured it is safe to do so. If there is any doubt about access in flood prone areas, you
should contact the local authorities to find out conditions and dangers before you proceed.

32

1300 4X4 4X4

Protecting the environment

Remote areas and National Parks are sensitive areas and all precautions should be taken not to damage tracks,
interfere with flora and fauna and not to contaminate the area. In sensitive areas it is advisable to use grey water tanks
and contained toilets. If your camper or caravan isn’t fitted with such, both toilets and grey water tanks are available as
portable self-contained units. Always store food, food scraps and rubbish in secure containers, native animals can be
quite resourceful in scavenging for scraps. Dingos have been known to open locked eskies to get to food so don’t
chance it, always secure these items when travelling.

Trip Planning

* When planning remote trips always consider where you will resupply for fuel, food and water. Some remote fuel
stations may run out of fuel during busy periods or times when large fuel trucks are unable to access the area due to
road conditions and closures or simply close outside of the season. Always check conditions and availability of fuel
before setting out to remote areas.

Shire Councils

There are many resources available for planning your trip away. Every state has a tourism website as so regional
councils which will give you extensive information on camping sites, things to do and see, events happening in the
area and contact information for booking sites or activities.

National Parks

Each state’s national parks organisation have a website to assist in finding campsites and provide specific information
about each parks unique qualities. As a planning resource these are extremely good. All contact information will be
available.

Wikicamps

This smartphone app is an excellent resource for finding all kinds of camping across Australia. If you are looking for
free camping you won’t find a better resource. There is an app add on that even assists in finding fuel stops with user
updates on fuel prices.

Facebook

These days there are numerous Facebook groups dedicated to travelling with campers and caravans and also groups
dedicated to travel in specific areas. The area specific groups have many locals as members and are a great way to
find out local track closures, conditions and research the area in general.
