Many of our clients love being on the road so much that they choose to travel via motorhome or campervan wherever they go.

Campers in Australasia are relatively compact and easy to drive. As you may be aware, Apollo also offers a fleet of RVs (Recreational Vehicles) for rent in the USA. They are fantastic vehicles which offer a slightly different driving experience – even for ...

Holidays are a time for rest and relaxation. A time to forget about the day to day grind. A time to unwind. A time to cook? When you’re travelling in a campervan, it’s all part of the fun. Far from being a harrowing and cramped experience, meal preparation on the road can be an absolute delight. You’ve got more time on your hands, so it’s an opportunity to test your culinary creativity, try new foods or simply enjoy a truly al fresco dining experience. All Apollo campervans and motorhomes come with their own kitchen, as well as complimentary kitchen equipment ...

This is his story: We set off on Friday afternoon and stayed the first night at Longford, always a lovely green spot on the banks of the South Esk river. In the morning, as we travelled further north and west, there were snow clouds over the mountains, which were expected to clear during the day, so we were in no ...
