4x4 Camping set ups

Hi all I would like to see how people have set up there 4x4 for camping and prospecting. It would be good to know what has worked and what has not worked for people with there set ups. Post away people.

Would love to post a pic or two for you but don't have photo bucket anymore pain in the bum.

I go alone so tend to go as light as possible. Take lots of water and food. Mainly high protein.
The only thing I take is a spare battery and two spare tyres. Get the car checked before I leave and take off.
These pics are from two trips earlier this year, over 10k of travelling in the outback.
I survived.

The Turtle

Nice unit there. It's got everything...reminds me of a song !

The best investment I made for detecting or any other outing (exclude detectors and fridges etc ) is a Travel Buddy oven, mounted in the rear of the 4by. I usually detect in winter and a hot lunch is just the thing - several menu items.

1. Take a frozen pie, pasty or sausage roll out of the van freezer and along with the obligatory tom sauce, into the Engel. An hour before lunch switch oven on with the food for a piping hot lunch.

2. Mini pizza, similar time, great lunch (or happy hour with a beer).

3. Re heat any leftovers - time = trial and error depending on size and if still frozen.

Coupled with a Thermos for hot coffee, it really does make a miserable cold day better

I sometimes drive whilst it's heating food, so it works either way, powered by auxiliary battery.

Swag when travelling light......................... croc proof.

Thank goodness I don't have the croc problem

Well there are times when you go camping just me and the missus...

Then times you need to take the whole mob to somewhere you haven't been before....

And times when the kids come to camp.....

We go for comfort to relax at night so you can have a great day.........

I be got the same swag that Hard Luck uses - the Techni Ice one.

I chucked out the mattress and use a Wanderer 100mm self inflator.

Its comfortable and cozy in cold weather. Without the mattress it rolls up into a compact package.

It's great seeing some of the members camp set up's reminds me that I really need to get motivated and finish my camper trailer..
Happy Easter every one ! :Y:

Great photos everyone, thanks for sharing.

SLIGHTLY?? Still attached to tow car-probably that's why.

I'd say the camp ground wasn't level.
