I'm looking for somewhere to hire a car camper not a campervan.

For those who do not know what a car camper is, here's a description from Wikipedia:

The car camper is a station wagon converted into a travel home.The rear cargo area is converted into a full double bed area usually with a fabricated aluminium framework. All equipment neccessary to set up a well appointed camp site is stored under the double bed with access through lidded areas under the bed. Unlike a standard station wagon where the camping equipment has to be removed before sleeping or a tent set up the car camper is self contained.

(A station wagon is known as an estate or shooting brake in some countries)

There are several online booking sites available that offer car campers in Australia. I'll list some of them:

I think with that you should have a broad selection of car campers in whole Austrlia.

There is also spaceship. I know in New Zealand the locals aren't fond of these as they don't have a toilet on board and the occupants don't use discretion when it comes to choosing places to go to the toilet. I'm not sure about Australia but in New Zealand there are heavy fines for not cleaning up after oneself. Happy Camping.

This category is also known as "Sleepervans" Jucy Campers is another that use a combination of people movers like Toyota Previas outfitted with camping gear, bed and custom made awning extensions or even rooftop tents.

There are plenty of sleepervans and a few Camping Cars for both New Zealand and Australian rentals on motorhomerepublic.com, which I'm affiliated with.
