Some campers are designed for weekends. Others are built for going further.
With HeroCamper and Bushwakka,
the line between camping and true
expedition living disappears.
“If someone wants to turn their HeroCamper
into a real basecamp, it start with the right
gear” says Søren Bach, Product Expert
for HeroCamper’s Bushwakka setup. “The
camper itself is a strong foundation. To really
enjoy the outdoors, you need to expand your
living space.”
His 昀椀rst recommendation is
straightforward.
“The very first upgrade is the Bushwakka
270 Awning Bundle. When you swing it out,
you instantly gain twelve square meters of
covered space. It wraps around the side and
rear kitchen area, so cooking, relaxing, and
living all happen under one continuous roof.”
Then there’s the unglamorous reality of
outdoor life: showers and changing.
“This is one of the biggest pain points for
campers,” Søren says. “That’s why the
Extreme Shower Ensuite Single is such
a strong solution. Most shower tents are
flimsy and awkward. This one uses gas-strut
assisted arms — you unzip the bag, and it
practically opens itself. It’s rigid, structural,
and easy.”
Practical details make the
di昀昀erence.
“It has a heavy-duty PVC floor with a drain, so
you’re not standing in mud. The floor can be
removed for high-clearance setups. And
there’s a removable roof panel, to let the
daylight in— or you can shower under the
stars in full privacy. It also works really well
with composting toilets, which is perfect for
families with small kids.”
So why Bushwakka?
“It comes down to reliability,” Søren
concludes. “This gear is born in South Africa
and further developed in the Australian
outback. Black aluminum frames that don’t
rust. Oversized hinges that don’t snap. Heavy
canvas that doesn’t tear. When you pair that
durability with HeroCamper’s rugged DNA,
you’re not just going camping. You’re
creating a mobile headquarters that can
handle whatever nature throws at you.”
Awnings are often where convenience breaks down. Not here.
“Bushwakka uses a massive Endo-frame
system. In calm weather, the awning is fully
freestanding. You pull over, open it, and
within seconds you have full shade, no poles,
no guy ropes, no frustration. If wind picks
up, integrated drop-down legs together with
strong Steadfast Guy Rope lock everything
down. That ease of setup is a game-changer
for people who move camp often.”
But real outdoor living demands more than
shade and protection from the elements.
“When the weather turns or you want privacy,
that’s where the Wall Kit Extreme Darkness
comes in,” Søren explains. “Attach the canvas
walls and suddenly your awning becomes
an enclosed living room. The material blocks
harsh sunlight, keeps the interior cool or
warm, and create a sheltered space for
sleeping an extra guest or escaping wind.”
And comfort doesn’t mean sealing
yourself o昀昀 from nature.
“Doors and windows have mosquito netting,
so you get airflow without inviting every insect
in the forest to dinner,” he says with a grin.
