All Spaceships campervans are based on the Toyota Estima, MPV model.

It's a great way to compare our campervans and see which one fits your travel plans best.

All Spaceships campervans are based on the Toyota Estima, also called Toyota Previa or Toyota Tarago in other parts of the world. The Estima is an MPV (Multi Purpose Vehicle or minivan) that has been a success in the Toyota vehicle range for many years. And for us, it's equally successful as it's been the basis of Spaceships campervans since we started. The vehicle offers heaps of space and is easy to drive... And with our custom-made modifications, it's a very comfortable campervan.

2.4 litre petrol engine, which offers more than enough power for a comfortable drive and to climb steep roads. It'll get you to awesome places in Australia and is fuel-efficient.

All Spaceships have petrol engines, so they love to drink 91 octane petrol. The capacity of the fuel tank is 60 litres and that will last you for 600-650km.

No, we don't have 4-wheel drive campervans.

All content is personally checked by the Camps Australia Wide team. It's a classic book that Aussies love to use to find free & budget campsites in Australia.

In Australia, all toll roads are electronically tolled. There are no cash toll booths. Spaceships aren't fitted with an electronic toll road tag. If you use a toll road, you are responsible for paying the toll road fee. You can easily do so by registering for a PASS within 3 days of travelling on the toll road. See for info about toll roads and how to pay

The 12V smart battery system of your Spaceship allows you to run internal items, like the fridge and USB ports on the car battery. It protects the battery. It's like having a second car battery. The battery won't go flat. It's a closed system, with no plugs, and no connections for outside items or devices. It charges when you are driving and it powers the internal items when the engine isn't running.

You can use the fridge and use USB ports at night. No worries. The smart battery system will protect the battery so you can always start the engine again in the morning. As you'll be driving again the next morning the system will fully charge itself again so you can use it again the next evening/night.
