Bungles in a Jayco pop top?

How about taking a Jayco pop top caravan into the Bungles? It is called the "out back" series, it is not a full size caravan, is much higher off the ground with good ground clearance and 4WD tyres. Or are all caravans of any description not permitted? - Rebecca.

Strictly no caravans in the Bungles
by: Birgit

Hi again Rebecca,
No caravans are permitted on the road into the Bungles. If it's a caravan it's a no go, no matter what the size. If they catch you with a caravan on the access road or inside Purnululu National Park they'll turn you around and kick you out.

Ok then....maybe not a POP TOP CARAVAN but what about a Jayco Outback Camper trailer (Swan)?? This is a camper trailer that is made for 4WDing and is not a caravan as such. It is purpose built for off road use....

Camper Trailers
by: Birgit

It's not towing that is forbidden, it's caravans that are not allowed. Camper trailers are fine.

It also has nothing to do with whether a van or trailer is built for off road use. There are caravans that are built for off road use. They are still not allowed. Camper trailers like yours are fine.

Bungles in a Jayco SWAN
by: Rebecca

Hi Michelle and Mike, That's what our's is.... a Jayco Swan. We didn't end up visiting the Bungles, spoke to some people in Broome at a caravan park we were staying, and they recommended we didn't go, back in September (that's when we were there), due to the heat. However they took their Goldstream camper on the track, which is very similar to what we have, and he said we would have no problem with ours. They look caravan type, but are called camper trailers. We called ours a pop top, but there are actual caravans that are called pop tops. Hope this helps - Rebecca

Planning a trip early next year and would like to make some enquires about hiring vs buying one. coming from Victoria so would like to pick it up in SA on our way thru. everytime I google campervan you get those britz australia types!!! We want to be able to tow one.

the reason you keep getting Britz campers is because you are searching campervans instead of campertrailers.
Don't take an Outback into the Bungles. They are NOT offroad. A coromal offroad is totally different to a Jayco which is not built for those roads.
