What is your favourite camping gear?

I used to have 2 of those Coleman instant up (the lighter silver coloured ones), a 4 man and a 2 room 10 man.
I found the 4 man to be a little small, and both were way flimsy, but they packed up pretty small for an instant up.
I gumtree'ed them both and got a blackwolf turbo lite FS 300 with basecamp add on, that's my favorite bit of kit at the moment

Apparently Apple weren't too impressed with the catchy name.

Hmmm. Not sure i can limit it to just 5 things. We love our camper trailer, it isnt the best, nor the quickest to set up, but its huge and gives us plenty of undercover for the kids.

Next would have to be the jeep. Not so much fun just setting the camper up in the front yard is it

After that is pretty much everything. The 50lt waeco, the kids stretchers (they sleep much better than on air beds) the camp table/benches(cant have too much bench space), the doble outdoor lights we have, the company we go away with, the locations we go too. Like i said, everything lol

Ill try to post up some photos (cant find any on my phone right now, sorry )

This is the camper
The view of the river from the awning

Got mine on Amazon before the $A died. Total cost of my set up, including full gas bottle is ~ $200
The USA fitting on the regulator doesnt fit AU bottles, had to cut & drill it out, then tap & fit an AU fitting. Works a treat & no leak.
The cheap little 12v diaphragm pump is only just enough flow. I have the flow valve on the heater on max & the heat setting on min. Even with high country water in late winter (0 C) its plenty hot enough. If you turn up the heat, the water ends up boiling.
Very important to have a strainer on the end of the suction line as there is always a bit of rubbish in the water & the internal strainer in the HWS is a pain to get to.
would never go back to solar bag type or bucket with holes in base suspended from a tree.
