Bakkie 2.0, Upgraded Ute Camper for Couples & Families

The Latest Evolution

The Bakkie 2.0 represents everything we have learned from years of 4WD camper hire in Perth, building, testing, and refining overlanding vehicles across Western Australia. Every improvement comes from real trip feedback - from the way gear is stored to how the electrical system performs on extended off-grid stays.

If you have hired from us before, you will immediately notice the refinements. If this is your first time, you are getting the benefit of hundreds of trips’ worth of improvements.

What Has Changed

Improved Storage Layout

The biggest feedback from previous hires was about storage access. The Bakkie 2.0 has a completely redesigned storage layout that makes it easier to find what you need, when you need it. No more rummaging through bags at the back of the canopy.

Enhanced Electrical System

The upgraded electrical system provides more consistent power delivery and better solar charging efficiency. You will notice the difference on multi-day stops where the system keeps everything running reliably without needing to drive.

Premium Touring Configuration

Every detail has been refined - from the camp table placement to the awning setup sequence. The goal is a vehicle that feels intuitive from the moment you pick it up.

Bakkie 2.0 or the original Bakkie?

The Bakkie 2.0 is the newer, refined build in this class. It carries a redesigned storage layout for easier packing and access, plus an enhanced electrical system with more consistent power and better solar charging efficiency, all shaped by feedback from hundreds of trips. The original Bakkie sits in the same class at the same price and is our established, well-reviewed setup. There are no hard spec differences between them. It comes down to which build suits you and, just as often, which one is free for your dates.

Which Bakkie should you book?

Same price, same class, essentially the same capability. So here is how I would choose.

Book the Bakkie 2.0 if you want the redesigned storage layout (easier to pack and reach your gear) and the refined electrical and solar setup, which helps on longer multi-day off-grid stops. It is also the one to pick if you simply want the newest build.

Book the original Bakkie if it is available for your dates, or if you prefer the established, well-reviewed setup that hundreds of travellers have already toured WA in.

Because the two share a price and capability, availability for your travel dates is often the deciding factor, so it is worth checking both Camplify listings. And if what you really want is maximum off-grid capability, a 300Ah lithium system, a bigger fridge, a water tank and Starlink, then look at the OFFGRID Wanderer range instead, which is built for exactly that.
