Thread: Large Family Touring

I'll post up pics later but we went camping over the weekend for 4 days, 2 kids (3 and 7) and 2 dogs. I borrow my old mans trailer and finally got off my A and fitted the cargo barrier i've had for about 2 years under the house . Trailer was reasonably full but also had about 100kg of firewood and an old 7kg w/machine drum for a fireplace. We packed - an 8x10ft cabin tent with additional sunroom, large inflatable mattress, camp bunks for the kids, 4 sleeping bags, 3 additional blankets, 9 and 2kg gas bottles, 2 burner stove with stand, large moulded plastic folding table and smaller folding table,roll of carpet for sunroom floor, 3 way fridge, picnic basket, large plastic tub of food, large tub of cooking utensils, large tarp in case of rain, 4 cases of clothing, 1 L duffel bag of towels etc, 2 bikes, dog food /bowls, 10l of water (drinking) ,lpg lamp and 12v versa light.

By far the bulkiest item was the self inflating mattress and heaviest was the tent.
