Thread: Show us your camping set up

Great thread, good to look at camp set ups as well as different scenery around oz!

Tent
3 Chairs
Table
Gas Cooker
Fridge
1 Box Food / 1 Box Pot/FryPan/Plates/etc
20lt Jerry Water
Toolkit / Chainsaw
Also took tarp and poles in case of wet weather

and

2 Kids

Tried to keep it pretty minimalist, but the boot of disco was pretty damn chockas!! If wife and little girl came then would need to have used rack.

my latest setup.

Have switched to tarps over tents for wet weather. Much prefer dealing with a wet tarp than a wet tent or swag!

If I dont need to drive, i attach the tarp off the side of the car.

Heres ours getting better, all the time.....

that is absolutely awesome.

I think perfected is nearly correct, set up time is a alot quicker, however, theres still some mods to do, the major one is a camelbac box for the rear tub, with a drawer/shelf system. the backs great but theres no real place to store things properly, we have a drawer system that works very well, but need more, storage space, plus the canvas did let in some red dust, not as much as we thought but some non the least, if i can get the camelbac in the same container as the 2b, then we will save on shipping..... so it will be worth the investment, and will also be better security wise.

You going to castlehill this year>>>>>>

hows your little collection coming along.....

sorry, missed this post.

i made a fold down support for the front of the mattress. seats slide all the way forward and then tilt forward as far as possible. then the fold down support lays down around the center console cubby box and the mattress pretty much comes up to the front of the cubby box.
i am 6'3" and its a little cramped but for a normal height person would be ok.
heres a pic of the fold down board. i have cut it down since as i dont sleep in the back anymore. but you can get the idea of where it originally went.

will dig around, might have a pic of it prior to cutting it down.

found a pic of construction stages. you can see in this pic how far forward the front seats are.
