It's for my wife and I (no kids) so a mega awning isn't important but would be nice. Budget is on a case by case basis. We will potentially be camping in winter in Vic and Tassie but more occurrences in summer.
Any tips?
we have a Gordigear Explorer Plus RTT with a zip attachable tent which hangs below. It opens to the RHS of the car so I can still use my Rhino Batwing awning at the LHS and around the back of the car, giving us a huge undercover area.
The Plus size is bigger than a king size bed so there is plenty of room for bedding, clothing and even a “night pail” so we don’t have to get down in the night.
I believe they are an exceptionally well made tent using top quality materials, including zips and thread. They are an Australian company based based on the Gold Coast and the owners name is Helmut. He was very helpful when I was making my choice at his warehouse. There is a very good but quaint YouTube video about the tent.
I paid $2200 for the complete set when I bought it last October. The other thing worthy of note is his after sales service. He carries an extensive range of spare parts in stock and is able to ship stuff quickly, for example if you damage a cover and need to buy a replacement.
The only real (minor) difficulty we have is working around the Batwing awning when zipping it up at the forward end.
We love it.
Cheers
David
