After taking a moment to stretch your legs, scope out the terrain, and work out the best spot for the Lite, you’ll get to work unhitching and stabilizing your camper. Yet, once you’re done with this stage, you and your loved ones will need to arrange the rest of your campsite. Since Australians love their outdoor living, this one’s packed to the brim with features and options aimed at nothing other than comfort in some of the most inhospitable lands on earth.

First and foremost, if you’ve gotten your hands on a roof-top tent, you’ll even be able to bring the kids along on your trips, so the Lite can handle family use, too. This also means that a galley with all the necessities needs to be in place, and it is.

At the very rear of the Lite and hidden behind the composite hatch, future owners of the camper can find a galley that’s clearly more equipped than any teardrop camper I’ve ever seen. This is made possible by the way the roof rises higher and higher toward the rear of the unit, creating ample space for features like a 130-liter fridge/freezer, swing-out BBQ and cooktop, stainless steel sink with an electric pump, ample countertop space, a pantry to rival those found in some apartments.

The rest of the Lite’s exterior is destined for features like gas cans, bike or kayak racks, toolboxes, and storage; the integrated nose-cone box is the main space for larger goods and systems. Yet, my favorite trick up the Lite’s sleeve is its ability to be the pillar of a massive campsite. As we can see in the image gallery, tent annexes are part of the mix here, and with them, the Lite can sustain more than just the lives of four people. A win in my book.

Off-grid features are also part of the Lite’s makeup. Two 100 Ah batteries and a monitor are standard, but the real takeaway is the 300 W solar panel, 100 W of which is roof-mounted. If you need more than that, check out the options list.

Regarding the interior, there isn’t much to talk about except the presence of a mattress, more storage for personal belongings, lights, sockets, and system controls. One thing I can mention about the interior is the effect brought on by that roof: it offers plenty of headroom once again.

As for the question on most of our minds: how much is this bugger going to run avid adventurers? According to a brochure on the manufacturer’s website, Australians can expect their units to start off priced at $55,000 Australian, which is roughly $37K American (at current exchange rates).

Now, if you live anywhere else other than Australia, you’re in for some bad news. Since brands that cater to the land down under typically build units in accord with Australian road laws and regulations, the chances of it being legal to drive anywhere else are slim to none; the only other countries I know of where you can find Australian brands are New Zealand and South Africa. North America is on that list, too, but there are literally just two brands (that I know of) that cater to the US and Canada.
