Launceston Campervan Rentals with Motorhome Republic

Australia is perfectly suited to campervan hire travel and Tasmania is no different. What sets it apart however are the windy roads and cooler climates. To make driving RV rentals a little easier, many campers opt for small vans or motorhomes. These are often built on a converted van chassis, and are either self-contained with a simple toilet and shower, or just a van with a double bed and camp cooking equipment. Launceston has plenty of holiday parks to choose from, so don’t worry about not having a shower on board.
