Off Grid Caravan Hire Tips
Conquering the Mid North Coast: Off-Grid Caravanning Adventures Await!
The call of the wild beckons! Here at Dirt Gear (we rent amazing caravans!), we know you crave adventure beyond the confines of caravan parks. That’s why we offer caravans primed for off-grid exploration along the stunning Mid North Coast. These beauties can handle the remoteness, but mastering off-grid living requires a different approach to power, water, and sunshine.
Embrace the Freedom, Master the Essentials:
Off-Grid Ready: Your caravan is equipped for adventure! No power or water hookups? No worries! Just keep in mind the nuances of managing power, water, and solar. We’re happy to prep the van for your off-grid escape, but reach out beforehand to chat about the details specific to your trip.
Essentials to Consider:
Let’s delve deeper into water management. While your van excels at off-grid living, water conservation is key. Be mindful of usage – quick showers or even skipping them might be necessary for longer trips. With more adventurers on board, the toilet fills up faster, so regular emptying is crucial.
Most of our vans carry 200 liters of water on board. While this sounds like a lot, showers, drinks, washing dishes/clothes, and the toilet all run from these tanks.
Big Tip: Short toilet flushes & Short showers
If you have had the Van delivered, then you have no way to tow the Van to a water source to refill. We can provide a Water Bladder, that you can fill at a designated refilling station or a potable water source and then transfer that water to the Van.
Solar Power: This is your lifeline off-grid! The batteries rely on sunshine, so a few cloudy days might push them to their limits. Strategically plan your power consumption and utilize low-wattage appliances whenever possible. Remember, simple things like quick phone charges and mindful fridge usage make a big difference. ☀️
Also look at where you park the Van. The Solar panels are on the roof, so consider when shade will cover those solar panels. We do have additional solar blankets that you can place in direct sun to help when the Van is under shade.
Most of our vans can run on battery power for basic needs for 2-3 days (depending on usage).
Off-Grid Comfort with a Few Caveats:
While off-grid adventures offer unparalleled freedom, there are some limitations to keep in mind:
- No Air Conditioning: Embrace the natural breeze and stunning night skies!
- No Microwave: Rediscover the joy of camp cooking! Invest in a portable camping stove for a truly rustic experience.
- No Coffee Machine: Fuel your adventures with a fresh pot of stovetop coffee – it’s part of the off-grid charm!

How Our Caravan Hire in Taree Can Better Your Experience
If you wish to go camping through Hipcamp in NSW but don’t own a caravan, we have several caravans you can hire from us. With our fully equipped and very comfortable caravans capable of being off the grid, we can make camping on the mid-north coast a reality for anyone. We also supply electric brake kits, towing mirrors, and most other accessories for towing one of our caravans. Our caravans and campervans are suitable for almost all terrains in Australia. If you cannot tow a caravan, we deliver, set up, and collect our caravans within a 300km radius.
If you enjoy camping but can’t afford to buy a caravan, don’t have the space to keep one, or don’t camp often enough to warrant purchasing your own, hiring a caravan is an ideal option. Hiring is also a great option to try caravan camping if you’re considering buying a caravan or taking up caravan camping but without the commitment.
