Campervan /Motorhome/Holiday Parks

A motorhome or campervan is the perfect way to explore Tasmania. Our compact island has diverse scenery and interesting, uncrowded roads that lend themselves to touring.Some parks have private en suite facilities for campervans/motorhome travelers.

For more details, see the Go Caravanning and Camping Australia website or pick up a copy of the Caravan and Holiday Park Guide to Tasmania, the official guide to Tasmanian caravan and camping holidays.

Minimal impact camping is the way you can ensure the areas you enjoy remain unspoiled for all who follow you.

Most national parks have areas set aside for camping. There are often showers, toilets, barbecues and picnic areas. National parks are also beautiful and peaceful locations to stay overnight. However, national parks do not usually offer powered sites.

One bottle should last up to 2 weeks but a lot of cooking could cut this short by a few days. Our 4, 5 and 6 berth motorhomes are supplied with a 9 litre bottle and Our Hi-top campervans with a 4 litre bottle.

GoCheap Motorhomes have two batteries – one to run the engine and the other to operate the living equipment such as the fridge and lights. This battery will remain charged for approximately 12 to 14 hours. If you flatten the battery you will need to plug the vehicle into 240V mains power for the battery to recharge. We recommend you stay in caravan Parks to charge the battery every night or at least every second night.

When a GoCheap Motorhome is not connected to a 240v power supply, everything EXCEPT the house A/C, microwave and the TV/Video runs on 12V. The fridge, water heater, house lights will run off the 12v batteries in the vehicle.

Yes, you need to be plugged in to a Powered site to enable you to connect your vehicle to electricity to use the air-conditioning in the living area of the 5 & 6 berth leisure- seeker, models.

Our largest vehicle is the 6 berth Derwent which can accommodate a maximum of 6 people.

Hard suitcases are not recommended. We recommend you travel with foldable, soft bags only. Restrict your luggage to a minimum.

We advise to do so during peak periods such as school holidays, especially between Christmas and New Year, public holidays and long weekends.

GPS units are included if you book our hassle free pack Otherwise, we offer GPS units for hire at $9.00 per day.

If you are plugged in simply use a power point in the vehicle. If you are not plugged in you may use your own converter ,(available from electronic stores such as Harvey Norman, JB hi-fi or Dick Smith for around a $100 — for a 300W).

RVs are hired out on a daily basis.

There is a network of national parks in all regions of the island. National Park entry fees apply – the best deal is to purchase a $50 per vehicle pass that gives unrestricted entry to all parks for eight weeks. 24 hour passes cost $20 per car – but you’ll probably want to visit several parks, so a $50 pass is good value. Passes are available at major national park visitor centre and Tasmanian Visitor Information Network centres.

Check Tourism Tasmania’s detailed and informative website – www.discovertasmania.com.au – for a host of information about Australia’s best holiday destination.

There are well-equipped and fully-serviced caravan parks and campgrounds in major centres and most country towns. Search for places to stay.

Expect warm, pleasant summers with refreshing sea breezes in the afternoons; mild, calm, sunny autumns (most Tasmanians love this season best); brisk, bracing winters, with plenty of clear, sunny days; and fresh,green springtime days. Best times for touring – spring and autumn.

Spring: September – October – November
Summer: December – January – February
Autum: March – April – May
Winter: June – July – August

In all areas of the state you’ll be travelling on good, sealed roads – you will rarely if ever need to leave the bitumen. Distances can look deceptively short on the map – but winding roads in highland areas can extend the day’s driving.

Allow five days as an absolute minimum for a Tasmanian campervan touring holiday – and don’t try to get all the way around in that time. A much better option is to plan a break of 7 or 10 days – even then you’ll want to return to do the things you’ve missed. Check our suggested itineraries for an idea of the most you can expect to do in three different length holidays.
