Britz

Apollo

Sleeping

Included

Bedding included on all campervans and 4WD vehicles

Included

Bedding and a personal kit for every traveller included on all models

Cooking

Included

Kitchen with gas cooker, microwave, pots, pans, cutlery and sink on campervans; portable camp cooking setup on 4WD vehicles

Included

Cooling

Included

Fridge or portable fridge on all models, plus front-cab air conditioning

Included

Fridge-freezer and driver's cab air conditioning on all models

Heating

Caveat

Fixed reverse-cycle air conditioning/heating in the living area on the Trailblazer, and a plug-in fan heater on the HiTop and Voyager; driver's cab heat only on the Maverick and Warrior 4WDs

Every one of these runs off 240 V mains, so nothing heats the living area away from a powered site. The Warrior has no mains hookup at all

Caveat

Reverse-cycle air conditioning/heating in the living area on the six Euro models (Euro Mini, Euro Tourer, Euro Plus, Euro Quest, Euro Camper, Euro Deluxe); driver's cab heat only on the Hitop, Endeavour and 4WD Adventure Camper

The Euro models' heating runs off 240 V mains, so it does nothing on an unpowered site — no model in this fleet heats the living area while freedom camping

Power

Included

Dual battery with 240 V hookup on campervans, 12 V system on 4WD vehicles

Included

12 V house battery, 240 V mains hookup and a solar panel on all models, with internal power points, 12 V socket and USB

Water

Caveat

Toilet and shower on the Trailblazer only; Maverick has outdoor shower; HiTop, Voyager and Warrior have no water facilities

Only one of five models is fully self-contained — most of the fleet has no toilet or shower

Caveat

Fresh and waste water tanks and a sink on all models; toilet and shower on the six Euro models

The Hitop and Endeavour have neither toilet nor shower, and the 4WD Adventure Camper has only a cold external shower — three of the nine models are not self-contained

Categories verified for only one of the two are not listed.
