Travelling with a dog narrows your options fast in the campervan world. Here's what Let's Go Motorhomes actually offers pet owners — and what to check before you book.
Just Two Models, At Opposite Ends Of The Range
Most Australian campervan operators either ban pets outright or restrict them to one or two specific vehicles, and Let's Go Motorhomes follows that pattern closely: out of 11 models, exactly two allow pets — the Tourer (2-berth campervan) and the Journey (6-berth motorhome). Nothing in between.
That's a deliberate gap, not an oversight. It means solo travellers or couples with a dog get the smallest, most affordable vehicle in the range, while families or groups travelling with a pet get the largest. If your group size sits in the middle — say, two adults wanting a proper bathroom rather than the Tourer's porta-potty — there currently isn't a mid-size pet-friendly option in this fleet.
The Tourer: Budget Pet-Friendly Campervan
Built on a Renault Master, the Tourer uses a convertible dinette bed that folds down to a queen without nightly disassembly — useful when you're also managing a dog's routine. It doesn't have an onboard shower; sanitation is via porta-potty. For pet owners prioritising affordability over fit-out, it's the entry point into the range.
The Journey: Purpose-Built For Pets
The Journey stands out because it isn't just "pets allowed" — it's built with a dedicated pet anchor point, a detail most operators don't bother with even on their pet-friendly vehicles. It sleeps 6 across three permanent double beds, runs on a Fiat Ducato, and includes a full bathroom (shower, cassette toilet, vanity) plus a 4-burner stove with grill. For a family road-tripping with a dog, it's the most complete pet-friendly option in the Australian campervan market from any major operator.
What To Confirm Before You Book
- Availability: Pet-friendly vehicles are a small subset of the fleet and fill quickly, especially in school holidays and peak season — book well ahead if travel dates are fixed.
- Pet fees and terms: Confirm any pet surcharge, cleaning fee, or restrictions (number of pets, size, breed) directly with Let's Go reservations at the time of booking, as these are the kind of details that change and should be confirmed against current terms rather than assumed.
- Depot pickup: With 14 depots nationwide, not every location may stock pet-friendly vehicles at every point in time — confirm your specific pickup depot has one available for your dates.
- Interstate travel: If your trip crosses state lines, check biosecurity and quarantine rules for pets in each state and territory you'll pass through — these are separate from anything the rental company manages.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which Let's Go Motorhomes vehicles allow pets?
Only two: the Tourer (2-berth campervan) and the Journey (6-berth motorhome). No other model in the 11-vehicle range is pet-friendly.
Does the Journey have anything specifically built for pets?
Yes — a dedicated pet anchor point, in addition to the full bathroom and three permanent double beds.
Is there a mid-size pet-friendly option, like a 4-berth?
Not currently. The pet-friendly range sits at the two ends of the fleet — 2-berth and 6-berth — with nothing in between.
Should I book a pet-friendly Let's Go vehicle in advance?
Yes. Pet-friendly vehicles are a small slice of the total fleet and tend to book out first in peak periods, so confirm availability with reservations as early as possible.
