From tents and swags to their own custom-designed XTR
The Wheatland Wanderers are Cameron, Sharyn, and their sons Jye and Cruz.
They would sit inside of high-end caravans at caravan camping shows (especially Wonderland RV caravans) thinking, “This is only ever going to be a dream.” One day they made their dream come true, with their very first custom designed Wonderland RV XTR.
Caravanning runs in their blood, and as they began their own family, Shaz and Cam wanted their two boys to embrace more of the wonderful country that we live in and the camping lifestyle that they also enjoy so much.
CAM & SHARYNWHEATLAND WANDERERS
What is your best travel hack?
Having the ability to use our Ram 2500 as a silent generator. We have a large battery system in the Ram paired with 100 amp hour DC charger and dual alternators which can charge up our batteries very quickly. We use the truck most days to explore which therefore charges up the batteries, then days we don’t travel we have a large solar panel mounted on the roof that charges the truck back up. This allows us to pull power from the truck and input it into the van if needed and vice versa.
What is the favourite place you visited?
We have just completed a large 9-month full-time trip on the road where we travelled throughout WA, SA, and NT. We would have to say that East Arnhem Land (Nhulunbuy) was our highlight of the trip – the remoteness, the fishing, the lifestyle and the Indigenous culture. It was so remote, 800 km of tortuous red dusty dirt road to get there, but we camped 3 nights at some top locations along the track, something we will treasure for the rest of our lives.
What do you love most about your caravan?
There’s so much that we love about our caravan but if we had to pick one it would have to be the Cruisemaster ATX suspension, it’s worth every penny in our opinion. Being able to raise the van on water crossings or dips in roads so you won’t bottom out the rear end of the van. When travelling on corrugations or rough terrain the ATX simply floats over it with the airbags and remote reservoir shocks absorbing all the impact.
We’ve just embraced travel more than ever before, realising life is way too short.
What began as a two-year lap of Australia has somehow turned into seven years of full-time travel. We’ve explored some incredible places, met amazing people and shared plenty of stories along the way.
Jess, Doug and their three children have travelled Australia full-time since 2024, documenting the road through photography, video and honest storytelling.
Since February 2023, this beautiful family has been full-time travelling, capturing awesome moments and sharing epic memories.
Rorden, Cass, Jed and Lexi sold their house in seven days and hit the road in their Hornet. A year was never going to be enough, so van life became the long-term plan.
Because no two travellers are the same, we believe
no two caravans should be either.
YOUR TRAVELS, YOUR VISION,
YOUR CARAVAN JOURNEY, YOUR RULES.
The Wheatland Wanderers are Cameron, Sharyn and their sons Jye and Cruz, a family who travel in a Wonderland RV XTR. Caravanning runs in their blood, and they want their boys to see more of the country. Today they’re chasing what they love: being out in nature, fishing, camping and exploring.
An off-grid caravan is set up to run on its own power, so you can camp away from powered sites. The current Wonderland RV XTR is built for it, with a Victron 24V system, a 5000VA inverter, 1000W of solar and an 11kWh battery. See the XTR range.
The Wheatland Wanderers travel in their first custom-designed Wonderland RV XTR. Before that, Cameron and Sharyn camped in tents and swags, then moved to camper trailers, pop-up caravans and a full height van. They used to sit inside high-end caravans at caravan shows thinking it would only ever be a dream, until they had their own built.
The current XTR sits on a 6-inch extended A-frame and a 12-inch truss chassis with two skid plates. Its body is a composite one-piece wrap-around front, roof to back, with SPR (self-piercing riveted) aluminium side walls. Every XTR is built to order, so the layout inside is planned around the people who will travel in it.
Yes, every Wonderland RV is built to order, so the layout can be designed around your family, with custom lengths from 17’05" to 24’ on single or tandem axles. Build Your Caravan takes six steps and emails you a quote at the end.
