Internal sleeping option
- Ideal for use on colder nights
- A comfortable full size double bed set up in under 10 seconds set up
- A well insulated vehicle - just like a car
- The innovative design means you do not need to rearrange the interior to get to your gear
Only Spaceships campervan rentals Australia have two sleeping options allowing you to sleep inside with the back door closed or sleep outside by extending the bed into the rear awning for 30% more space and ventilation. To set up: Simply turn the rear seat around to face the back door, set up the internal bed legs (provided for free) then sit the bed extension and mattress on top. This takes under 10 seconds and is a great option for the winter months.
External sleeping option - Extend the bed under the rear awing on warmer nights
- 30% more space and ventilation
- A great option for those hot summer nights
- A comfortable full size double bed in less than 10 seconds set up
- Rear bed extension acts as a great table or seat
- Waterproof rear awning provided
This is a great sleeping option and is unique to Spaceships. It is better suited to the summer months. All you have to do is extend the bed out the back by using the same bed extension as the internal option then fit the rear awning. This takes 30 seconds and provides a fully enclosed waterproof sleeping option providing 30% more space and ventilation. A large insect screened window is included which can be zipped up or left down for increased ventilation.
Portable dual burner cooker
- Means you can have a pot and pan going at the same time
- Comes with one free gas canister
A customised cooker stand is provided that sets up in seconds. This provides an external platform to cook from. Alternatively you can set your portable cooker up on picnic tables in campgrounds. A complete cooking kit is provided along with utensils and a 20 litre water container.
Self charging dual battery system (up to 24 hours battery life)
- Charges automatically as you drive
- Powers the stereo, DVD player, Fridge and internal lights
- Means you do not need to pay for a powered campsite each night (saving you $)
All Spaceships are set up with two batteries forming a dual battery system. One battery starts the engine and the second battery powers the accessories. This allows you to operate the fridge/freezer and watch a DVD while the engine is not running - this will run the auxiliary battery down but the Spaceship will always start on the other battery, and then self-charge as you drive.
This means you save money as you do not have to pay for powered sites each night like you would in an ordinary campervan or motorhome to charge your vehicle.
Seat-belted seating for 4
- Room for two adults in the front and the back
There is seat-belted seating for four people. The back seat has a tilt adjustment to recline the seat to watch a movie or have a snooze whilst on the road. It is also on a runner in the floor so it can be adjusted depending on the leg-room required.
DVD/CD player, AM/FM radio and iPod cord
- 4 speaker surround sound speaker system
- DVD exchange with any other Spaceships
- Swap DVDs at any of our Space Stations
Your Spaceship comes fitted with a quality CD/DVD/MP3 player with an 18cm screen. There is a surround sound system with 4 speakers plus an ipod/Mp3 cord fitted so you can cruise and listen to your favourite music.
The DVD player is very popular - other campers will be very envious when they see you curled up, watching a DVD! You can exchange your DVDs at any of our Space Stations plus with other Space Travellers as well - if you see another Spaceship just go up and say hi and swap DVDs (you never know you might meet some new travelling buddies!)
Large lockable rear storage area
- Space for two soft backpacks
- Easy access with rear awning up via a new awning design
- Separate internal storage accessible from the side doors
- Space for cooking gear, dry foods and daypacks
The main storage is accessed from the back and can securely store two large soft backpacks. We have improved the rear awning by including a large zip down area so you can access the rear storage compartment with the awning still on. The internal storage area is where the cookers, cutlery and cooking equipment are stored and offers space for dry food storage. Once again you do not have to re arrange the interior for day and night time use.
21 Litre fridge/freezer
- Quality fridge/freezer
- Enough room for a 6 pack of beers (or a carton of milk/bottle of wine) and some food
A quality fridge/freezer is provided. This unit is highly reliable and will actually keep your food chilled like a normal fridge.
Unique 3 in 1 swivel seat design for internal seating, eating and sleeping
The middle seat in a Spaceship performs three unique functions:
1. Driving mode: The seat can face forward in the driving position and seat one person with a shoulder belt. This enables a child seat or booster seat to be fitted if required. We cannot cater for babies under the age of one.
2. Eating mode: The seat can then turn and face out the slide door and you can set up a table, play your free Spaceship cards or cook and eat dinner.
3. Sleeping mode: Finally you can swivel the seat to face the back door and extend the bed internally for sleeping with the back door shut (bed legs are included for free, and they only take about 10 seconds to set up).
Automatic transmission (easy to drive)
- Very easy to drive
- Big windscreen for great driving experience
- Great fuel economy
The Alpha Spaceship is like a good car to drive. They are well suited to Australian roads, hills and cities. Features include two cup holders, single slide door, electric windows, mirrors and power steering. In keeping with all Spaceships they are fun, safe and easy to drive.
