Melbourne-based, fully equipped from $21,500, and built to be seen before you buy — book a time and walk through one in person.
If you're shopping for a teardrop camper in Melbourne, the smartest thing you can do is see one in person — and that's exactly how we sell them. Hip Campers is a Melbourne business. Both of our models are finished, wired and inspected here by our own qualified tradespeople, and you're welcome to book a viewing, climb inside, and go through the whole build before you spend a dollar. No showroom pressure, no interstate freight just to take a look.
We offer two teardrop campers, and both arrive with the lot included as standard — solar, lithium power, hot water and a full kitchen — so the price you see is the camper you drive away with, not a starting point you keep adding to.
Our flagship — the roomier interior with the skylight and fan, a 22L compressor fridge built into the galley, 120Ah lithium, 100W solar, a 2,000W inverter and 80L of fresh water. Sleeps two adults and a child. Full specs →
The compact, SUV-friendly build for couples — the same off-grid electrical system, hot water and rear kitchen in a lighter, lower-priced package. Full specs →
Prefer to spec your own? Custom builds start from $18,000 — design yours in 3D and we'll build it. See everything that comes standard on both models in what's included, or run the numbers with our honest cost-per-night maths.
Plenty of campers are sold sight-unseen from interstate or straight off a container. Buying locally in Melbourne changes the deal in your favour:
We show both models by appointment at our Melbourne location, so you get proper time with the camper instead of a rushed walk-around on a busy lot. Bring every question you've got about the build, the electrical system, towing and delivery — that's exactly what the appointment is for. There's also a Hip Summit display unit viewable by appointment in Perth for WA buyers. Book a viewing →
Delivery is free — we deliver to a depot near you anywhere in Australia, and for Melbourne and greater-Victoria buyers that's quick and simple. Many locals skip delivery altogether and collect from us in Melbourne, often the same day once the camper's ready. Either way there's no freight bill and no "delivery at cost" surprise at the end.
A teardrop is the easy yes for weekends out of Melbourne — light enough to tow with the car you already own, quick to set up, and happy off-grid for days. The High Country, the Great Ocean Road, the Grampians, Wilsons Prom, the Murray — all an easy tow from town. For ideas, see our best weekend camper trips from Melbourne and the best campgrounds in Victoria and NSW.
Hip Campers is Melbourne-based and shows both models — the Hip Summit and Hip Companion — by appointment at our Melbourne location. A viewing means you can climb inside, open the kitchen, sit on the bed and go through the whole build in person before you commit to anything. Get in touch and we'll arrange a time that suits you.
Fully equipped, the Hip Companion is $21,500 and the flagship Hip Summit is $22,500 — solar, lithium power, hot water and a full kitchen all included as standard, with no extras to bolt on. Prefer to spec your own? Custom builds start from $18,000. Prices are the same wherever you are, and Melbourne buyers can often collect locally.
Yes. Delivery is free — we deliver to a depot near you anywhere in Australia, and for Melbourne and greater-Victoria buyers that's quick and easy. Many local customers simply collect from us in Melbourne, often the same day once the camper is ready.
Hip Campers is a Melbourne business. Our campers are manufactured to our specification, then finished, wired and inspected here in Melbourne by our own qualified tradespeople — including a fully qualified in-house electrician — and certified for Australian roads. Buying locally means you deal directly with the people who prepare and service what they sell.
Almost certainly. Both models sit at 700–750kg tare, so most mid-sized SUVs and 4WDs — a RAV4, Forester, CX-5, Outback and the like — tow them comfortably within their braked limits. That makes a teardrop the easy way to get from Melbourne to the High Country, the Great Ocean Road or the Grampians without needing a big tow vehicle. See our tow vehicle guide.
You can see it before you buy, deal with real people face to face, and have it serviced locally rather than shipping it interstate. A Melbourne base also means the camper is set up for Victorian conditions and roads, and support is a local phone call away — not an importer on the other side of the country.
Book a viewing, go through the build in person, and tow home the easy way to get away.
