Wombat Campers Blog
Are you looking for a campervan rental in Tasmania that’s full of charm, comfort and adventure-ready features? Meet Henry, the Wombat Chaser - our lovingly converted VW T5 Transporter designed to give you the ultimate Tasmanian campervan roadtrip experience.
Designed for vanlife comfort
Henry is compact yet incredibly functional — a campervan that feels surprisingly spacious once you’re parked. Inside, you’ll find a cosy living space with thoughtful touches like a comfortable rear couch for sunset cocktails and a front-facing seat - perfect for a morning coffee. When it’s time to sleep, the setup easily transforms into a comfy 1.2m x 2m bed with fresh linen included. Find more about the van here.
Equipped with a diesel heater, LED lighting and plenty of storage, Henry keeps you comfortable in every season. The off-grid setup — complete with powerful battery, a water system and a fridge — means you can enjoy freedom and flexibility while camping across Tasmania’s most stunning landscapes.
Cooking, camping and comfort
Cooking is part of the adventure and Henry’s outdoor kitchen makes it easy. The pull-out cooktop and gas stove come with all the camping crockery and utensils you need. Enjoy your meals outside with the included camping chairs and table, then rinse off with the rear hose after a swim or hike. It’s practical, fun and designed for travellers who love the outdoors as much as we do.
The story behind Wombat Campers
Henry was built by us — Alex and Anna, an engineer and a marketer, who swapped fast-paced European city life for the wild beauty of Tasmania. After years of full-time vanlife across Europe, we learned exactly what makes a campervan comfortable, reliable and enjoyable to travel in. We’ve poured that knowledge and love into every detail of Henry, our first Wombat Camper, so that you can experience the same sense of freedom that inspired us to move here.
Explore Tasmania at your own pace
Based in Launceston, Henry is perfectly positioned for exploring Northern Tasmania and beyond — from Cradle Mountain to the Bay of Fires. With an automatic gearbox, off-grid capability and all the comforts of home, Henry is ready for your next Tasmania campervan rental adventure.
