Hard Top Hybrid Off Road Caravans
Want a solid roof over your head while touring Australia, without giving up off-road ability? Arctic Campers' hard top hybrid caravans combine a fixed roof with a hybrid off-road build and a practical living space for couples and families.
The Polar 15, Polar 18 and Summit 16 come with a hard top as standard. Our other models aren't hard tops out of the box, however in most cases we can accommodate this conversion, just ask our team!

Each of these three models suits a different style of trip. Compare their size, floor plans and how you like to travel before choosing one. A couple on a long lap and a family on a weekend escape rarely need the same layout.
Hard Top Hybrids, Built for Your Travels
The main difference from a pop-top caravan is simple. A hard top has a fixed roof, so there’s no roof to raise when you pull into camp. You unhitch, open the door and step inside.
The hybrid format suits Australian travel because it keeps the footprint manageable behind your tow vehicle. You still get a comfortable place to sleep, cook and relax, with construction intended for gravel roads and tracks well past the bitumen.
Polar 15 and Polar 18
The Polar 15 is the more compact of the pair, suited to travellers who want a manageable van that’s easier to fit into tighter campsites. The Polar 18 is the largest in our range, built for those who want extra room on extended trips.
Both share a standard hard top and a hybrid off-road design. For exact features, layouts and inclusions, check each model’s current specifications.
Summit 16
Sitting between the two Polars, the Summit 16 makes the most of its interior space while keeping off-road performance front and centre. It’s a good fit if a 15-foot van feels tight but an 18-foot van is more than you need.
When comparing the three, look at floorplan, sleeping arrangements, storage and the space you’ll need for your usual trips. A couple on a months-long lap and a family packing for school holidays will weigh these differently. Check each model’s current specifications before deciding.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a hard top hybrid caravan?
It’s a hybrid caravan with a fixed, solid roof. You get caravan-style comfort, with an enclosed sleeping and living area, in the compact, off-road focused format of a hybrid.
Which Arctic Campers models have a hard top as standard?
The Polar 15, Polar 18 and Summit 16. Hard tops on other models are available as requested conversions, not standard configurations.
Which hard top caravan suits my tow vehicle?
Compare the specific van’s current weights and loaded towing requirements, including ball weight, against your vehicle’s rated towing capacity and ball weight limit. Allow for water, gear and passengers when you do the maths.
Can I customise a hard top caravan for off-grid touring?
Yes. Talk to us about where you plan to travel, your layout preferences and the equipment available for your chosen model. How long you can stay off-grid comes down to your power and water use, so we’ll help you match the setup to your trips.
Customer-First Focus
We give straight answers on which model suits your trips, what a requested hard top build involves, and which configurations and pricing apply. You'll know what you're getting before you commit.
Tested for Tough Conditions
Touring Australia means red dirt, corrugated outback roads, sandy coastal tracks and big temperature swings. Our hybrids are designed with those conditions in mind, and each model's spec sheet lists the suspension, chassis and off-road features it carries.
Reliable, Carefully Checked Builds
Our vans are built for durability and backed by after-sales support across locations including Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide and Sydney. Before you buy, confirm the current compliance details for your chosen model and read our warranty terms so you know exactly what's covered.
