Dave, I'm looking at upgrading my camper to an offroad hardfloor model AND purchasing a new tent similar to your or Ewen.

Cheers RobS

Dave

Please put me down for the trip

Regards John

Done John, and going on dates, we set off in 5 months tomorrow.

Is it sad that I'm counting down already?

Thanks,
Dave

Wow Rob, sounds like you will be ready for anything!

Are you planning on bringing both? If the camper is as fast setup as Wallys (faster than my tent!) then I wouldn't have thought you'd need a tent as well.

If you've missed the January sales then wait for the Rosehill Caravan and Camping Show in April. Can usually get a good deal there - and pick up a load more stuff that you may or may not need like I always do ;-)

Done! Moved you from the Maybes to the Definites.

Hope that means you have the fuel availability concerns sorted.

Wow, we have 7 cars already and we set off in 5 months today!

Darn, that's a shame! Oh well, there will be other trips.

Hi Dave
Thanks, fuel is ok I'll be carrying enough petrol with extra 50Ltr in Jerrycans so I don't have to rely on LPG.
The only question now is towing or tent.

Cheers,
Shefy.

Hmm, tent is light, quick and less fuel, but not as comfortable, and takes up space in the vehicle. Trailer can carry the extra gear, but...

If it's just you, I'd say tent, but if there are two of you, trailer could be way to go! And Danny will be along too so you can blame him if anything goes pear shaped :-)

I'm in the process of upgrading the trailer by beefing up the chasis, adding shock absorbers, electrical and storage etc. but I take the point of performance and I would like to have the opportunity to play in the sand etc. so it looks like a swag or a bubble pop up tent.
That would mean loosing the fridge though which is a problem because I need to carry refrigerated medicine.
Should be easy to sort out as I'll be doing it by my self most likely.
