Bakkie, Proven Dual-Cab Ute Camper in Perth

Upgraded Touring Comfort

The Bakkie takes the proven KGM 4WD platform from our 4WD camper hire Perth fleet and adds an upgraded touring configuration designed for extended comfort on Western Australian roads. Whether you are heading south to Margaret River or north along the Coral Coast, the Bakkie delivers a smooth, comfortable experience with everything you need packed in.

The automatic transmission makes long driving days effortless, while the high-capacity electrical system keeps your devices charged and your fridge running throughout the trip.

Bakkie or Bakkie 2.0?

We run two versions of this touring setup, and they sit in the same class at the same price. The original Bakkie is our established, well-reviewed build, the one hundreds of travellers have already toured WA in. The Bakkie 2.0 is the newer, refined build, with a redesigned storage layout and an enhanced electrical system that came directly out of trip feedback. There are no hard spec differences to weigh up here. 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.
