Check out our selection of family camper trailers that will last you years and help you build cherished family memories in the Australian outback.
A True 6 Sleeper Hard Floor Camper Trailer
It is rare to find a Hard Top Camper Trailer to suit a large family – most are great four couples, but more than 4 people – and you are hard pressed to find an option. Introducing the Chariot S4 – double fold camper. The Chariot S4 is unique in its class, where the second fold goes all the way to the ground. It was designed in Australia for our harsh conditions, and includes all the extras. And is a perfect option for large groups or families as it can sleep six, comfortably without the need of the include, fully enclosed annex.
You will find everything you need for hassle-free, comfortable camping in the Chariot. First, the Chariot has three different sleeping areas. The forward fold section is opened using gas struts and a winch system to accommodate a queen-sized foam mattress. With the same winch, the rear folds all the way to the ground, providing another full height room which can be used for sleeping or whatever your heart desires. As a final touch, a central living area for sit-down meals can fold down into another queen-sized bed when needed. We should also mention the stereo system included as a standard feature.
Super capable – and designed for off-road adventure, the Chariot is great even on the toughest terrains. Incorporating durable, dual independent suspension, with heavy duty coil springs, off-road tires, ground clearance better than some 4WD’s, and galvanized, hammertone finished chassis – the Chariot S4 is tough.
Get the storage and space you need for your large family!
If you come into a Platinum Campers Showroom and ask us for a recommendation for a family of 4+ – we would always show you a General Soft Floor. This is our entry level Step Through camper – meaning you’re not climbing up a ladder to get into the main queen bed sleeping area. Instead – you have a small step through section that is a much easier way to get into bed – without climbing over your partner. But there is nothing entry level about it – Sporting a HUGE main tent area (at 5.1m x 2.8m) with 14.28m2 of space (including the Queen bed area) you will have plenty of room for the kids, this camper will just blow you away with it’s size. Still not enough room? There are optional kids rooms available to give you even more useable sleeping space.
There is a common myth about soft floor campers being more difficult to set up than hard floor campers. We believe the opposite is true. The tent opens on gas struts, and can easily be opened by one person. Then with the addition of just 6 tent poles, your main tent area is open and setup, taking just a few minutes. You do need to add a little extra time to hammer in your tent pegs – but this is not difficult, just perhaps a little more time consuming.
However, perhaps the best feature of this camper trailer is the amount of accessible, compartmentalised storage and space for large families. Storage boxes around the side, fridge slide, and tool box, pole storage, all accessible even when the camper is closed. Perfect for packing during the week!
More Storage than Storage King – The Best Camper Trailer for Large Families
The Warrior has it all – the Ultimate Off-Road Soft Floor Camper for large families. This is our top of the range soft floor – With more storage than storage king, a super-sized kitchen, with fridge slide directly next to it, and dual spare tires. Same as the General, The Warrior utilizes a step through section for getting into bed without the need of a ladder. Equipped with an even larger main tent area than the General – at 5.2m x 2.8m (14.56m2) – this camper truly is the Best Camper for Big Families. Still not enough room? There are optional kids rooms available for this model also.
Additionally, included as standard is an enclosed annex, that includes walls, floor, and draft skit. All canvas on our campers are a 16oz close weave canvas (thicker than a lot of the competition) and include ample windows ensuring you can take advantage of the breeze, and internal zip-up screens making it easy to close up for the night without having to leave the camper.
The huge tailgate kitchen with a extra large serving area and an extra long Pantry Drawer means you don’t have to miss a moment of fresh air and gives you plenty of space to cook for all the family. The refrigerator (optional extra) is stowed right next to the kitchen and slides out for easy access.
