If you are in your 30s, you have probably dreamt of the "Great Queensland Escape." Maybe it’s taking long-service leave to surf the breaks on the Sunshine Coast, or perhaps it’s packing up the laptop to work remotely from a quiet spot near Hervey Bay.
But then reality hits.Hotels cost a fortune. Holiday rentals (AirBnBs) charge $300+ a night. And while "Van Life" looks cool on Instagram, the reality of buying a 4WD, towing a 2-tonne trailer, and reversing into tight spots is stressful and expensive.
There is a third option that smart holidaymakers are starting to use: The Static "Pop-Up" Holiday Home.
What is the "Pop-Up" Strategy?Instead of spending $60,000 buying a caravan you’ll only use once, or paying $15,000 for a 6-week holiday rental, you simply hire a "static" caravan from Dell Caravan Hire.
We don't expect you to tow it. We deliver a fully equipped, air-conditioned caravan to your chosen private site in Brisbane, Ipswich, or the surrounding coastal regions. We set it up, level it, and plug it in. You just show up with your surfboard and laptop.
Why Mid-30s Professionals Are Choosing Static Hire:
1. The "Base Camp" FreedomTowing a caravan forces you to pack up your entire house every time you want to drive to the shops or find a new surf spot.With a static hire, your caravan is your Base Camp. It stays put. You have the freedom to drive your car to the local cafes, waterfalls, and hidden beaches without dragging a trailer behind you.
2. Work-From-Home Ready (The Digital Nomad Dream)Let’s be honest—trying to work from a hot, stuffy tent is impossible. Our long-term hire vans are all-electric and air-conditioned.This means you can set up a comfortable workspace on a friend's property or a private block near the coast. With a proper fridge for your food and cool AC for the humid QLD afternoons, you can clock off at 5 PM and be in the ocean by 5:15 PM.
3. It’s Cheaper Than RentingIf you have friends or family with land near the coast (or you find a private land owner happy to host), your accommodation costs drop to almost zero.
Holiday Rental: ~$2,500 per week.
Dell Caravan Hire: From ~$150 per week (long-term rate).That leaves you with thousands of dollars extra to spend on experiences, dining out, or extending your trip.
4. No Tow-Bar? No Worries.Most people in their 30s drive hatchbacks, SUVs, or sedans that aren't rated to tow heavy caravans. With Dell, you don't need a heavy-duty 4WD. We handle the heavy lifting. You just provide the destination.
