Yes! We do require a small fee for pets, but we get that they are part of the family too! We take our dog with us all the time and who wants to pay for a kennel???.

The best part about a Shift Caravan is that you make it your home away from home. Based on the feedback from our customers, most of you prefer your own things. So we keep it simple. Rather than take up storage space with things you don't need, we let you bring what you want. Sleep in your own sheets, bring your own pillow or sleeping bags, use your choice of paper, plastic or melamine plates. And you know food always tastes better in your favourite pan. We will supply a top notch caravan, you make if feel like home.

We have worked hard to make the X6 model towable by most SUV and 4x4 vehicles. The caravan weights 2200kgs empty and has a max weight of 2680. If you have a Prado, you can tow the X6 with 300kg of gear and food, but we would not recommend filling the water tanks unless you are travelling light. Most of our customers will be staying in a caravan park, so you will not need the tanks anyway.
If you have any questions on whether you vehicle is suitable, give us a call. We will also have a 4wd hire partner soon!
Here are the specs on the X6:
Length: 15ft for towing. 18ft when set up.
Weight: 2200kgs empty 2680kgs Max
Tow Ball: 180kg
As long-time caravanners, we get it. Who wants to fight with a complicated setup after a long drive? We built the X6 with you in mind. We measure our set up in two simple ways: 1) How fast can we get in for a sleep? 2) How fast can I set up for a long stay?
Although not quite as fast as a Tesla, our stats are pretty impressive:
- Pop top and hard walled queen bed slide out - 2 minutes - Perfect for a rainy or late arrival; or a road side stop over. You can do this setup with your vehicle still attached.
- Stabilisers - 2 minutes - Pull the lever to drop and then wind them firm.
- Awning - 4 minutes - Wind it out with the crank, then drop and peg the poles.
- Outdoor kitchen slide out - 1 minute.
Not bad, huh?
The health and safety of our team and customers remains at the forefront of all we do at Shift Caravans. In line with the recent guidelines from the WA Government, we have implemented a number of steps to reduce the COVID-19 risks. First and foremost, we ensure that every van in thoroughly cleaned and wiped with anti-bacterial cloths. We have also prohibited the drop off and re-hire of a van on the same day. This ensures we have ample time to undertake a proper clean. We will continue to follow all government guidelines to ensure safe and happy travels for all our clients. Enjoy this time to see this wonderful state of ours! All the best, Shift Caravans
