Bondi's Rolling Retreat
Everything you need to know before, during, and after your adventure.
A quick checklist to make sure you're set up for success.
Inspect before you drive
Walk around the motorhome before departure and note any existing damage or issues. Take photos for your own records.
Fuel, oil & water
You are responsible for maintaining fuel, engine oil, and water levels throughout your hire. Check these daily on longer trips.
Safety equipment
The van is equipped with a first-aid kit, fire extinguisher, and smoke detector. Familiarise yourself with their locations at handover.
Fresh & grey water
Monitor fresh water tank levels and empty the grey water tank at dump points. Your handover briefing will cover both systems.
The motorhome is provided to you with a full tank of diesel. It must be returned with a full tank of diesel.
Please refuel before returning the van. Failure to return with a full tank will result in the cost of fuel plus a refuelling fee being deducted from your bond.
The van consumes approximately 12L/100km — factor this into your trip budget when planning your itinerary.
The van must be returned in a reasonably clean condition, both inside and outside.
As a minimum, the front passenger windows and windscreen must be cleaned inside and outside using two separate cloths and a glass cleaning product — both of which are provided in the cleaning kit.
Returning the van in poor condition may result in a cleaning fee being deducted from your bond.
Parking, off-grid living, and making the most of your trip.
The motorhome is fully equipped for off-grid use with 600AH lithium batteries and solar panels. Boondocking (camping outside designated campgrounds, often on public land) is permitted under our agreement, but NOT encouraged — just follow the guidelines below if you find it to be necessary.
Leave No Trace
Follow the "Leave No Trace" principles — pack out everything you pack in, and leave your campsite as you found it.
Find good sites, don't make them
Use established campsites where possible. Avoid creating new tracks or clearings in sensitive vegetation.
Check with the managing agency
Before camping on public land, check with the relevant land management agency (National Parks, State Forests, local council) for any restrictions.
Generator use
Generator usage is governed by local council bylaws or campsite regulations. Check the rules for your specific location before running the generator.
Please read these before your trip — they form part of your hire agreement.
No smoking
Smoking is strictly prohibited inside the motorhome at all times. This includes e-cigarettes and vaping. Violation will result in a cleaning fee.
Pets — case by case
We love animals and consider pet requests individually. Please contact us before booking to discuss your pet. Conditions may apply.
Occupancy limit
Maximum 6 occupants: up to 4 adults and any children, or 2 adults and up to 4 children under 12. Do not exceed this limit.
No towing

No subletting
The motorhome may not be sublet or transferred to any person not named in the hire agreement.
Personal use only
The motorhome is for personal, non-commercial use only. It may not be used for paid tours, film production, or any commercial activity.
