admin — Tue, 28 Jul 2009 06:38:54 +0000

Camping gear and equipment you might want to consider for your upcoming camping trip will include things that are going to help you stay comfortable in your chosen camping spot. If your going to the beach you might like to take fishing rods and tackle, bait including nets and whtever you might use to catch bait.

If your taking a boat then you will need to take the saftety equipment and fuel. Think of recreational activities and make a list of “toys” to keep the kids entertained. Do you need to take extra tents and sleeping gear? Tools – take a shovel and aand electric drill and a snatch strap as they can come in very handy when you least expect them. And don’t forget to pack a couple of torches in case you need to take a walk after dark!

Food & water – well it goes without saying but taking plenty of water and food is important. Always take more water than you think you will need just in case! Keeping water cool and food fresh is helped if you use a good fridge / freezer such as a waeco or engel – they are not cheap but they are worth the investment if you are regualr camper.

Camper Trailers Vs Tent

admin — Mon, 04 May 2009 23:32:55 +0000

Camper trailers have become popular for a number of reasons and when you compare them to the traditional “camping tent” the advantages are quite obvious and compelling. For starters you have the convenience of simply hooking up and going camping, everything is contained in one place and this can save you a lot of time and trouble when setting out on a camping holiday. Camping trailers offer in built storage for cooking, power generators, fishing equipment and any extra things you might want to take along for the trip. When you arrive at your camping spot the camper trailer transforms very quickly from trailer to tent quickly even in the hands of a total camping novice! Sleeping up “off the ground” is another advantage, getting in and out of bed is easy and of course if the weather happens to turn nasty then at least your not going to wake up in a puddle of water! Is there a downside to using a camper trailer? Cost and storage may be issues to some people and of course your going to need a vehilce to tow the tailer with, beyond those two points the camper trailer offers a lot of advantages over the traditional camping tent.
