VanEssa mobilcamping now also in Australia

Two years have already passed since we first got in touch with Mark from Australia. Fortunately, a lot has happened since then. Mark has opened his own company in Australia „VanEssa mobilcamping Australia“.

Since then, a container has been traveling several times a year and Mark takes care of sales on site. We are delighted that our „VanEssa“ has been so well received there. So it wasn't long before one of the largest rental companies contacted our Australian dealer.

Since 2017, Mercedes Vito vans with Vanessa equipment can be rented through the company Apollo. There are currently 50 vans available for hire in Australia and 50 vans in New Zealand. We are delighted to announce that Apollo plans to double its fleet in Australia for the coming season. More VanEssa vans will also be added in New Zealand.
