Hard Roof Hybrid Caravans (No Setup Required)

If you love the idea of a compact hybrid caravan but hate the pop-top setup, this post is for you.
Because in this one, we’re looking at 11 hard-roof hybrid caravans—full-height hybrids that require zero roof lifting, zero canvas, and zero fuss when you roll into camp.

These are the hybrids for people who want off-grid capability and rugged construction, without sacrificing insulation, security, or easy setup. Just park, open the door, and you’re done.

I’ll run through 11 full-height hybrid models available new in Australia in 2026, with a quick look at their size, layout, standout features, and price.

Now, this is just a selection of different hybrid caravans that I’ve found. There are a lot more hard roof hybrid caravans than just these 11. I use the Australian RV Directory to find them all, if that’s something you would find helpful here’s the link where you can buy the directory for yourself.

Austrack Campers Gibb 14

Let’s kick things off with the Austrack Gibb 14, a compact hard-roof hybrid that punches well above its size. 

At 6.3 metres long and 3 metres tall, it’s small enough for tight tracks but still manages to deliver a compact internal ensuite and a surprisingly roomy feel inside. 

The Gibb is all about getting off-grid without complicating setup — park it, open the door, and the camp is ready. 

With a tare of 2,220kg and an ATM of 3,000kg, it’s towable by many mid-range 4WDs, and the layout is classic hybrid: north/south bed, simple internal galley, and a combined shower & toilet bathroom. 

What really makes it appealing is its price point — starting at $71,990 for a full-height hybrid with this level of kit. 

For couples wanting to step up from a camper trailer into something tougher and more comfortable, the Gibb 14 is a very easy yes.

Blue Water Campers Murchison

The Blue Water Murchison takes a different approach: instead of trying to be flashy, it focuses on space and livability. 

At 6.6 metres long and just over 3 metres tall, it’s one of the more generously proportioned full-height hybrids in this price bracket. 

Inside, you get a combined shower & toilet ensuite, a comfortable sleeping setup for two, and plenty of cabinetry. 

The standout here is definitely the value. At $59,990, it’s one of the most affordable full-height hybrids in Australia, yet its 2,090kg tare keeps it easy to tow and its 3-tonne ATM gives you room for gear. 

If you want a full-height, no-canvas hybrid but you’re trying to keep the budget under control, the Murchison is one of the best entry points you’ll find.

Cub Campers C16

Now for something premium: the Cub C16. 

This is one of the largest and most feature-packed options here — 7.45m long, 3.1m tall, and surprisingly light at just 2,100kg tare for its size. 

Cub are traditionally known for camper trailers, but the C16 shows they can build a serious hybrid caravan. 

The fit-out is modern and high-quality, and it offers sleeping for two to four, making it one of the few full-height hybrids that suits families as well as couples. 

You also get a proper ensuite, loads of storage, and more internal living space than you’d expect from something classed as a hybrid. 

The catch? Price — it starts at $139,990. But if you want premium finish, strong Australian build quality, and a hybrid with actual room to move, the C16 sits right at the top of the segment.

Eagle Camper Trailers Eagle Warrior 190CX

The Eagle Warrior 190CX is built for travellers who want hybrid toughness but caravan-level space. 

At 8.325 metres long, it’s the longest model in this list — and you really feel that inside. The layout is more like a compact full caravan than a hybrid, with a large front bed, a mid-kitchen, and a roomy, full ensuite at the rear.

It’s also one of the heavier options at 2,832kg tare, with a 3,500kg ATM, so you’ll need a capable tow vehicle. 

But the big advantage here is that sense of breathing room: wide walkways, big storage, and a kitchen that doesn’t feel squeezed in. 

Priced from $79,990, it’s excellent value for the space and equipment on offer. 

For couples who want hybrid durability with caravan comfort, this is a strong contender.

Elross Caravans ECX-16.5 Hybrid

The ECX-16.5 from Elross is what you choose when you want a hybrid that feels bulletproof. 

Elross build for the harshest parts of Australia, and this model fits right into that lineage.

It’s 7.445m long, 3.1m tall, and packed with premium structural and electrical components. 

Inside, the styling is clean and modern, with a full ensuite and a solid layout for couples. 

But what really stands out is the attention to detail — wiring, plumbing, sealing, hinges, cabinetry — everything feels engineered, not just installed. 

At $163,990, this is a premium hybrid, but it’s aimed at travellers who want something that can live on corrugations for months at a time. 

If durability is your number-one priority, the ECX-16.5 is the one you’d shortlist.

Mountain Trail RV LXV 5.7

The Mountain Trail RV LXV 5.7 belongs in a league of its own. 

It’s a boutique, high-end hybrid that focuses on comfort, craftsmanship, and clever design. 

At just under 3m tall and 7.24m long, it’s compact for a hybrid in this luxury bracket — yet it feels spacious thanks to Mountain Trail’s signature internal layout and storage solutions. 

The build quality is exceptional, and so is the price — from $216,920, making it the most expensive option on this list. 

But owners rave about the finish, the engineering, and the long-term reliability. 

With a tare of 2,820kg and a 3,500kg ATM, it’s robust but not overbuilt. 

This is the hybrid for couples who want premium caravan living in a compact, go-anywhere footprint.

RhinoMax Campers Lost Trak 18.5ft Hybrid Tourer

The Lost Trak 18.5 from Rhinomax is designed around touring efficiency — light, aerodynamic, and built for long distances. 

At just 5.7m long, it’s compact compared to many other full-height hybrids, and the 2.8m travel height helps with access and wind resistance. 

But don’t let the small footprint fool you: you still get an internal ensuite with combined shower & toilet, sleeping for two to three, and Rhinomax’s excellent off-grid setup. 

With a tare of 2,500kg and a 3,500kg ATM, it’s a solid rig. The starting price of $185,990 reflects its high-end Australian construction. 

If you want a full-height hybrid that feels nimble, aerodynamic, and genuinely tough, this is one of the best-engineered options on the market.

Signature Camper Trailers Kakadu 13

The Kakadu 13 takes the idea of a compact hybrid and distills it down to the essentials. 

At just 5.4m long, it’s the smallest model in this lineup, but it still squeezes in a combined ensuite and a comfortable bed for two. 

With a 2,000kg tare, it’s impressively light for a full-height hybrid, and the 3-tonne ATM gives you plenty of payload. 

The layout is simple but effective, and the price — from $74,990 — makes this one of the most attainable full-height off-road hybrids around. 

This is a great option for couples who want a smaller, more manoeuvrable hybrid that won’t overwhelm the tow vehicle or the bank account.

Tekton Expedition Vehicles SVX-6 Series

This one is all about modern engineering. The SVX-6 is part of Tekton’s expedition-style hybrid range, and it looks and feels different the moment you see it. 

Low-profile at 2.8m tall but reasonably long at 6.76m, it has a sleek, almost European silhouette. 

Inside, it’s premium and minimalist, with a full ensuite, good storage, and a layout designed for efficient living. 

Tekton specialise in high-end electrical and fabrication work, and you feel that in the build. 

With a 2,150kg tare and a 3,500kg ATM, it’s surprisingly light for this category. 

Pricing starts at $192,500 — very much a luxury hybrid — but it’s aimed at travellers who want innovation as much as toughness.

Trakmaster Explorer

The Trakmaster Explorer is a classic outback hybrid with a full-height design and a lighter-than-expected 2,060kg tare. 

It’s 6.34m long, 3m tall, and built for rugged tracks without being oversized. Inside, the layout feels familiar and functional: comfy bed, usable kitchen, and a compact bathroom. 

It’s one of the few hybrids with a 2,600kg ATM, which will appeal to travellers who want the lighter towing feel of a sub-2.7 tonne rig.

Trakmaster are known for their customisation options, too, so you can tailor the Explorer to your travel style.

If you want a tough, Australian-built hybrid with sensible towing weights, the Explorer ticks all the right boxes.

X Series RV Warrior

We’re finishing on a feature-packed model: the X Series RV Warrior. 

At 7.5m long and 3.1m tall, it gives you a heap of internal space, and because it sleeps four, it’s one of the few full-height hybrids that suits families as well as couples. 

Tare comes in at 2,220kg with a 2,950kg ATM, keeping it lighter than you’d expect for a four-berth design. 

The inside is well laid out with the bunks tucked in behind the combined bathroom, the kitchen is practical, and the finish is modern and clean. 

Starting at $73,990, it’s also great value for a full-height hybrid with this much room. 

If you want hybrid capability with family flexibility — but without the canvas or roof lifting — the Warrior is well worth a look.
