4.8 / 5 from 37 Google reviews

“After spending 11 months travelling half of Australia, Max — our Defender — needed a good service… I absolutely love that the team care so much for our van. Nothing is too much trouble, and I’m pretty damn fussy. The after-sales service is second to none.”

Kim Davies Defender owner · Google review

“We’re NSW based, so we organised it all over the phone and online… We recently travelled to Queensland to pick up our Defender hybrid, and the quality build is outstanding — right down to the handover. The van towed like a dream on the 1,077km trip home.”

Nerida Ross Defender owner, NSW · Google review

“From the moment we made our first phone call to the day we picked our Defender up, the service and patience was second to none… You hear a lot of complaints about after-sales service from well-known brands, but with Rhinomax it was exceptional.”

Good To Know

Defender 15 Questions, Answered

The things serious buyers ask before ordering — straight answers, no run-around.

What tow vehicle do I need for a Defender 15?

With a 2,600kg ATM and around 150kg of ball weight, the Defender 15 sits comfortably within the braked towing capacity of most popular mid-size and full-size Australian 4WDs. Always confirm your specific vehicle’s towing capacity, ball load limit and GCM before ordering — our team is happy to talk through your exact setup.

How long does a build take?

[Please contact sales for current lead and build times on the Defender 15.

What warranty comes with a Defender 15?

[WARRANTY — e.g. Every Defender 15 is covered by an X-year structural warranty, with appliances covered by their manufacturers’ warranties.] After handover you deal directly with the team that built your camper — no call centres, no buck-passing.

Is finance available?

[FINANCE — e.g. Yes — we work with a specialist RV finance broker who can arrange competitive finance for your build. Ask your Rhinomax specialist for an introduction.]

I’m interstate — can I still buy one?

Absolutely — plenty of owners spec and order remotely. You’ll work with a dedicated specialist over phone and video for every decision, and you can view the Defender 15 at our Sunshine Coast HQ or through our NSW dealer, Off Grid Outfitters, in Smeaton Grange and Newcastle.

Collect from our Queensland workshop with full handover instruction, or ask us about delivery options.

Do I need an appointment to view one?

Yes — viewings are by appointment so a specialist is dedicated to you for the entire visit, whether that’s at our Queensland HQ, our NSW dealer, or a private virtual walkthrough. Booking online takes under a minute.
