Almost bought one myself for this trip

I did wonder if there was such a thing. Off to Anaconda this morning and will hopefully grab one plus a few other bits and pieces.

Been camping all my life and have tons of gear for housing myself for a few nights, but needs change dramatically when you are going with young kids........especially when it is going to around 0 degress 8O

Cheers Noz and see you there, Mick

Heater??? Jees, what's the bloody world coming to. For you married blokes that shouldn't be nessacary as you have the other half to keep you warm :oops:

Matt, you can do the single bloke thing on the weekend. Join the club. Now that the platering job that I was going to do isn't ready, might get off earlier than expected.

I hear you Trav and had it been me alone, there would not be a heater in sight.....didn't even know they had them for tents and I have camped all my life.......in Scotland 8O But as I have no intention of having my 2 year old & 8 month old sleeping in bed with me and my wife, I have to find a way of keeping their fragile little bodies above freezing...more so Charlie at 8 months as he has no way of shivering yet to keep himself warm. Plus my wife is no good for warmth as she turns into an icicle at the drop of a hat........and I mean that in the literal sense :wink: :roll: https://www.aulro.com/afvb/

I was at Anaconda yesterday - did not buy anything.
They a have Bunnings style 10% + price guarantee.
Which means you pay through the nose - UNLESS you're a smarty parts and do your homework first you can get a great price on high ticket items.

Those Coleman catalytic heaters sound good.
I did not see any at Anacaonda but Downunder Camping at Salisbury have them - BLACKCAT $79, PROCAT $169. Plus I imangine you'd have to buy the Coleman catridge too. ($6or$7?)

Keeping little kids warm at night can be a nightmare - literally.

There's good news and bad news from me. Depending on who you are / what you think - you can decide which is which!

We've gone from 7 down to 2 in our Disco 8O Myself and my son Daryl, are the only attendees. :( The teenage daughter has assignments, a couple of the littlies are a bit crook, and the missus is keeping them all home. The young fella D'arcy (3) may be a starter, but we'll see how well he is.

BAD POINTS
Won't get to play Land Rover families with all the others (sorry Noz, Hardy & folks with wives and little ones).
Children will miss a great fun weekend
Less children and wives to entertain other members childrens and wives

GOOD POINTS
Won't have to pack a 10th of the sh*t we normally do https://www.aulro.com/afvb/
Won't have to feed, clean, dress or shower anyone (hopefully https://www.aulro.com/afvb/ ) all weekend
Won't have to worry about coming back to base too often
Won't have to worry about anyone but us
Won't have to worry about D'arcy (3) jumping on me at 5:30 am
Won't have to worry about much except keeping the vehicle upright
Won't have to worry about keeping myself upright :twisted:

Thats is a bugger my kids were looking forward to playing

I may even run out to BCF and buy a heater as well. The kids are a worry especially if you have a real sooky one ( and I do :roll: )

You shouldn't talk about yourself like that :twisted:

You best not be in my car if it gets abit scary or you will see the real sook in the family https://www.aulro.com/afvb/ :wink:

Well the fridge is on and loaded, trailer half packed and will finish loading it tonight.

Than off straight after breaky.

Look forward to meeting you all :wink:

Just got the Coleman heater...nice little unit which would appear to throw a fair bit of heat. Went for the one without the fan in the end as the guy reckoned it could be quite noisy....plus it was an extra $70. Having said that, I didn't manage to get out of the shop without buying a few other bits and pieces.......I just can't help myself :roll:

Anyway, loading the trailer this afternoon and reckon it will be quite full :wink:
