Anyone hired a Wicked Camper before? 28-Jan-2014 At 9:34:59 AM peteclimbs

I've never hired one myself but know a couple of folks that have. In both cases the vehicles were crap and needed running repairs during the trips. I've driven a fair bit around Exmouth/Ningaloo and the cape in general. It's a beautiful area but not a good place to be in summer if you're vehicle is iffy, even if you're sticking to the main roads.

Just a thought, and slightly OT, but if you're game to hire something with decent 4WD capability then the drive down the west side of the cape, across Yardie Creek (where the sealed road stops) and then south to Coral Bay is stunning. You cross the creek on low tide (it's easy, just looks scary) then easy 4WDrving from there. Great diving, snorkeling, fishing and waves (if you're lucky with the swell). I'm jealous.
