The Big Lap follows Highway 1 as it snakes around Australia’s mainland coast. The world’s longest national highway stretches over 14,500 kilometres, connecting nearly every mainland state and territory (and even Tasmania if you hop on the ferry).
Taking anywhere from six months to two years or more, the Big Lap is all about the journey and the adventures along the way. And when your home rolls with you, there’s no rush to speed it up
While staying in hotels along the way can make the Big Lap easier, a caravan offers unrivalled flexibility to truly make the experience your own. You can chase the sun today, and linger in a peaceful outback gorge tomorrow. Your caravan becomes your rolling home, with your own bed, bathroom and kitchen always within reach.
Plus, compared to hotels, caravanning can be more cost-effective in the long run, allowing you to spend more on experiences rather than accommodation.
And when your caravan is a Wonderland RV, that sense of freedom to roam extends even further! These vans are designed to get off the beaten track without sacrificing an ounce of comfort. This means you can take the road less travelled and still come home to luxury at the end of each day!
Your choice of caravan is crucial to a successful Big Lap. With Wonderland RV, you can count on a caravan that’s engineered for Australia’s toughest conditions, combining robust off-road performance with the flexibility to create a space that perfectly suits your lifestyle.
And this raises an important question: off-road or semi-off-road? The answer here depends on your route. If you’re planning to venture deep into remote tracks, an off-road model is your best bet.
Key features to look for include heavy-duty suspension, solar setups, large water tanks and ample storage. Families often opt for bunk layouts to give kids their own space.
Casey and Zane, for instance, chose their Wonderland Amaroo after years of experimenting with different setups:
‘When travelling Australia became full time for us, more comfort and space became our goal. Our 18’6” Amaroo off-road van ‘Alice’ gave us the best of both worlds: comfort and capability to get off the beaten track.
We loved being able to customise everything — the electrical system, compost toilet, our L-shaped lounge. It feels like home and makes us smile every time we step inside.’
The Amaroo is designed to support long off-grid adventures, with features like a 3000W inverter, 1000W solar and 400aH lithium battery system. And that upgraded compost toilet? As Casey & Zane put it, a true “game changer” that makes life on the road simpler and far more pleasant.
