2. Easy to Drive and Park — Even in the City
Let’s be honest: not everyone wants to drive a big, bulky motorhome. That’s where the Tamar makes a real difference. Thanks to its nimble size and smooth handling, it’s perfect for first-time vanlifers or anyone who wants to keep things simple. AND it fits in a standard car spot!
Built on a reliable Fiat Ducato chassis, it drives just like a regular van, so you can comfortably cruise through cities, coastlines, or winding mountain roads without stress. Its compact size also means you’ll have no trouble finding a parking spot, whether you’re stopping at a scenic lookout or checking out a local café. It’s the kind of freedom that makes road tripping a joy, not a chore.

3. Cook Your Own Meals, Wherever You Are
Forget overpriced takeaway or soggy sandwiches from petrol stations. With the Tamar’s fully equipped kitchen, you can cook your favourite meals wherever the road takes you.
You’ll find a 2-burner gas stove, 95L fridge, microwave, and a sink with running water — everything you need for a proper meal on the go. Start your mornings with fresh eggs and toast, prep a picnic lunch by the beach, or heat up a warm dinner after a day of hiking.
Plus, eating in your camper saves you money and gives you total control over your meals — whether you’re catering to dietary needs, craving comfort food, or just want a cup of tea with a view.

4. A Cosy Bed with a View
After a day full of adventure, there’s nothing better than climbing into your own bed. In the Tamar, you can stretch out and relax in a comfy double bed.
No more wrestling with tent poles or waking up on uneven ground — just a soft mattress, clean linen, and a window to the stars. Want to wake up to ocean views or fall asleep under the trees? It’s all possible with the Tamar. You bring the destination; it brings the comfort.

Let’s face it — travel in Australia can get expensive. But with the GoCheap Tamar, you’re combining accommodation, transport, and cooking facilities into one affordable package. That’s a serious saving. Want to know how much you can save? Check out this complete guide!
The Tamar is designed with value in mind. It gives you all the essentials: comfort, convenience, and reliability — without the hefty price tag of luxury options. You’ll spend less on hotels, restaurants, and car hire, and more on the experiences that matter most: national park passes, wildlife tours, or that cheeky second scoop of ice cream in a coastal town.

6. Ideal for Weekend Escapes or Epic Adventures
Whether you’re planning a spontaneous long weekend away or a full-blown cross-country adventure, the Tamar fits right in. Its self-contained design means you’re not tied to caravan parks every night — you can pull over in a designated rest area, set up, and settle in. We do recommend staying at a caravan park every second night to recharge the batteries!
With space for two, a built-in water tank, and plenty of storage, this camper is just as suitable for short romantic getaways as it is for extended road trips up the East Coast. Flexibility is at the heart of this van. You decide the pace, the route, and the destination — the Tamar just makes it all possible.
