- 5mins Setup / Packup
- Lightweight and nimble over off-road terrain
- Less strain on engine, drive train, suspension and chassis
- Fuel efficient low profile design
- Much less maintenance
- Ease of storage when not camping
- Compact design
- Very safe on road, low center of gravity
- Sleep off the ground away from critters and crocks
- Tow other toys (e.g. tinnie, horse float)
- Secure free standing camp setup, drive away
- Park in urban areas (e.g. shop carparks to get supplies, suburbs)
- Same footprint as vehicle, lower freight and ferry costs
Our Mission
Maximise Comfort + Minimise Weight = Go Further, Go Safer
Usually in the caravan industry, more comfort and convenience = more weight. However, travelling the vast distances and the rugged terrain of Australia, often times with thousands of km’s in any direction to civilisation.
More weight = higher risk of vehicle, trailer or personal damage.
That’s why our industry leading engineering team have designed an innovative lightweight camper for exploring in great comfort while minimising weight. This is a tried and tested formula which will keep you, your family and your vehicle safe when you are in the middle of nowhere.

Choosing Your Slide on Camper: Does Weight Matter?
YES!
Whether you choose Trayon or not. Choosing a slide-on camper involves a little more groundwork than simply choosing features.
The Trayon Camper is very light weight when compared to other slide-on campers, starting at 390 kg; it wont normally exceed your vehicles payload limits.
However, it comes down vehicle make and model, your vehicle accessories and what you want to take with you.
Most utes in Australia have an approximate legal payload between 600 kg – 1200 kg (vehicle make and model dependant).
This may sound like a lot, but once you equip your vehicle with:
- Alloy Tray
- Bullbar
- Snorkle
- Winch
- Spotlights
- Dual Battery
- Fuel
- Luggage
- Wife & Kids
- Food, Water
- Cooking Supplies
- The Dog
- Slide on camper
- Spare tires
- You
You can quickly use that payload up. Which can land you in hot water legally and also with insurance if anything were to go wrong, not to mention the safety hazards of overloading your vehicle.
So choosing a slide on camper that gives you breathing room for your gear is very important.

Here Are Some Reviews of Popular Choices
Trayon Owners Reviews
We have been Trayon owners for 4 years now and have found it to be the best, most convenient way for us to travel. It’s very quick to set up, gives us the opportunity to visit places others cannot reach and gives us comfort and reliability. It is lightweight yet incredibly sturdy. After sale service is excellent.
We have taken our Trayon, which sits on our chopped 200 series Landcruiser to Fraser Island, the Victorian High country, the Flinders Ranges, West/East MacDonnell Ranges and across the Simpson via the Madigan Line. Not to mention countless corrugated roads. It was faultless and remained dust free.
Can’t ask for more than that. Thank you to the team at Trayon for this outstanding product and allowing us our freedom to travel ANYWHERE.
Wonderful slide on camper. Luxury camping with the ability to go off road to any isolated spot. We have taken our Trayon over the Simpson Desert, Gibb River Road, around Tasmania and over the High Country as well as many small trips.
The Trayon never missed a beat. Very easy to set up (I can be sitting after fully setting up, with gin in hand, 15mins after arriving at camp!). Plenty of storage space, a good size fridge, 2 burner stove (which can be used inside if raining or outside if you prefer) and a heater for those cold nights.
Solar panels allow us to be isolated and off the grid and give us a hot shower! 110L water means we can stay in lovely isolated places for longer. I always feel so relaxed the moment I get in the Ute when we are off with the Trayon.
5 stars are not enough! We’ve just spent the last week up on the Sunshine Coast and visited Trayon. We would like to spread the word about this amazing company and their awesome product.
Despite the fact, that we bought our camper 2nd hand they treated us like any other Trayon owner. This company is amazing. It’s like a big family.
Ziza, Scholtz, Vernon and the whole Trayon family were so helpful and caring. Above and beyond any service you’d expect from any company. The best service we’ve ever received.
Thank you Trayon we can’t thank you enough. We love our Trayon and we can’t wait to take it around Australia.

What our Customers Say
Gullwing Cruiser
Your Ultimate Touring Package
Long term off-road adventures in outback are the stuff dreams are made of! Touring vehicles, like kitted out 79 Series Landcruisers are the steeds which can take us there. They are a common choice among our customers.
However, one of the main problems people run into with a single cab 79 Series Landcruiser is their limited in-cab storage space, as in, they don’t really have any! And when you go on your ultimate outback adventure secure storage space is key!
That’s where Trayon’s custom ‘Gullwing Cruiser’ turn-key touring solution comes in. A fully equipped expedition vehicle based on the Landcruiser. It has a customised tray that provides heaps of extra, compartmentalised, lockable, dustproof storage space, designed specifically for your Trayon Camper. But the custom tray is just the beginning.

Travel Guides: Where to go in Your Slide on Camper
Lovingly Written by Trayon Owners
We purchased a Dual Wide Diesel Deluxe camper in 2017 as we wanted a set up that would allow us to travel off the beaten track and also significantly reduce the time we spent setting up and taking down our campsite as many of our stays are overnight. The Trayon fits these requirements perfectly. Last year we travelled the very isolated, and at times challenging, Munza Track in the Kimberleys.
We haven’t had any issues with dust and that is usually a huge bug bear when travelling off the bitumen.
Your customer service is exceptional. Whenever we’ve had any queries or issues everyone has always been interested, friendly and knowledgeable. Special thanks to Vernon.
Our Trayon recently celebrated its third birthday and what a.three years it has been. Trips to Tasmania, Cape York, the Kimberley and more. From the time of our shakedown trip to Fraser island never a regret of our choice of slide on camper.
We also love caravanning but the real plus with the Trayon is that we no longer have to wonder what is is down the end of the side tracks that criss cross our great country. Now we go and have a look! We have now travelled the fire trails in the Vic high country and the incredibly long and beautiful desert tracks without worrying about getting caught out by the rough stuff.
