Default Re: The Camping Thread

Seriously planning Halls Gap again now for the end of April. Just trying to rally numbers before booking!

What do people use for shelter? I've just bought a 6x3m gazebo off of 4wdsupercentre with two side walls and floor for $340 delivered. Cheapest I could find. Other places wanted around the $400 mark just for the same size gazebo and they weren't even waterproof.

We're going in the tent this time. Family of 4 in a 6 person dome tent. That's why I've bought the shelter as it'll give us somewhere else to sit should the weather be bad.

Have also orders a 10w solar panel and 12AH deep cycle battery. That should hopefully be enough to run the camp lights I've got using my above power supply that I made.

Am just a little bit excited with talking to people about this trip! Looking forward to getting away for a bit after work lately, and moving house...
