Gee, I'm glad Wolfie asked this...

Cheers Moggs.

The reason I sometimes camp on the road side, is because my tarp is attached to my car, and I sleep under it sometimes.

I have seen some sites along the Glenelg River in Vic., whereby you have to park your car about 30 metres away from the site, sucks, I reckon.

Wolfie

Why would you sleep under your car ?

LOL!! Wish I could.

My guts only JUST allows me to get under the Delica, and that's before breakfast!

Wolfie

Under the vehicle is a great place if it rains. I can't be the only one who does that.

Why would you sleep under the vehicle in the rain when with just a little bit of effort you could be sleeping in it?????? :-))

Seriously.... just outta curiousity??

I used to sleep in the Pajero I had as the seats folded down into a bed but I never found it very comfortable, too many bumps. My Rodeo, well I slept on the tray a number of times but had to have the tailgate down as the tray was just too short for me to stretch out, ditto my present hilux and if it decides to rain during the night I end up with wet feet if I haven't erected the tarp. I've got a centre pole tent as another option but as with the tarp they take up good drinking time to erect. The Lux has plently of room underneath so it's the quickest option for me. I can set up camp anywhere in a few minutes. As for sleeping inside the Lux in comfort, well I have no idea.

Yo!! Cheers Wok.

Tracy's got the Telly all booked up tonight, watching the second installment.

This question may end up being adopted as a Buddhist Koan!

Wolfie

So..............

Another who sleeps on the road side of the Bollards!!

This is the reason I am writing this, because a lot of our camping is now very vehicle based, instead of walk in. The bollards are sometimes a hinderance.

Wolfie

Ditto Smocky,

Wolfie, leave your park lights on!!!

Chaba.

To add to your ponder....

What if you have been sleeping on the right side but you drove in the wrong way...

Ah Ha Grasshopper.

For if I go to sleep facing west, and the centrifugal and centripetal forces of the spinning earth act upon me, then inside my bladder, the tide would be out..... like up near my head. This allows one to sleep in longer, unless we are under the influence of a new moon, then you will have to check the tide times.

Upon arising, the coriolis effect, then comes into play, and depending as to wether we are in the northern hemisphere, or the southern hemisphere, this will give our draining the correct corkscrew effect, which improves aim greatly, whilst trying for the fence post!

And while I'm just being plain silly, have you ever travelled behind a car, or even better... a van, in the city, through stop / start traffic, and it has had a bike on the back, or inside.....

Every time the vehicle takes off, you see the front wheel start to rotate, in one direction only. This has nothing to do with wind, as the bike inside the van will attest.

It's all to do with precession. Now, it you go to bed on the road side of the fence, and you've had to much to drink, and your head is spinning, what if you turn around during the night, so it can spin back the other way?

I'd better go now..........
