Britz Maverick
- Minimum hire 14 days
- Driver age 21+
About this camper
The Britz Maverick and Apollo Adventure camper are essentially the same type of 2-berth 4WD camper. The only differences are that all Mavericks are fitted with a bull bar and a significant proportion of the fleet consists of Ford Rangers. You can sleep inside on a large fold-out bed measuring L 200 x W 154 cm. The pop-top roof is easy to push up from inside. Cooking needs to be done outside, but if the weather is less favourable, there is enough space to sit comfortably inside. We find the camper body relatively heavy, which makes this model better suited to normal 4WD tracks. If you are planning to tackle more demanding terrain from time to time, such as tracks with deep, soft sand, we recommend choosing a different 4WD camper. From 1 November to 31 March, this model is also available for hire from and to Adelaide, Melbourne and Sydney.
