A second 12v fridge to run as freezer only,
so you can have nice square icecubes in you G & T.

Hey Baz,

Is the cappuccino machine 12v? Call me a yuppie, but I love my coffee and I'm a much nicer person when I have it.

Matt.

What about satellite TV...?? microwave oven...??
and I guess you tow a trailer mounted generator behind the C/T...!!
I mean, if you're going to do it, you may as well go all the way.

I have my house wired and unwired with numerous mod cons but I prefer to travel light. I have my simple and basic camping gear along with a 12v fridge, laptop, nav equipment and amateur radio gear. The fridge is a relativity new acquisition, got sick of mucking around with ice.

Sounds like you need to tow a 28' Bushtracker.

Was a time all the swmbo and I needed was a destination ,toothbbrushes ,1 old ex army hootchy ,the motorbike full of fuel and a pocket full of cash,
now the list extends to several pages of "comfort " gear and thousands of dollars invested , but the one thing I refuse to go camping without is my favorite china coffee mug , just cannot drink a brew from anything else.

Baz,

I like my comforts as well, a well appointed camper trailer with a Queen bed, kitchen etc. I have to say that my laptop has gotten a lot of use, mainly as a storage device for photos and keeping trip notes up to date. Also usefull for drafting emails etc and sending them when in town. Like already mentioned it would be tops to get internet on the off road so that fellow EO members could get real time updates (hopefully this will become more affordable in the future).

Kind regards

I have a portable battery powered bug zapper...found it in a cheapo, red dot store for $20.

Turn it on 5m out of camp and it keeps all the flying stuff out of camp. has full UV and zapping power...lasts all night on batteries.

Ive even wired it to a regulated supply ie (1.5 through 12v output) and it runs nicely at 6V (prev 4 x D cells).

Camp recliner,
we don't have much space so only goes local,
it's lucky we can drive an hour to a very quiet beach camp.
guess it's even better to have an esky for side table!

Hi Baz.....

I'm with you..... why not have a few creature comforts when on holidays.... I remember as a scout a LOOOOOOOOONG time ago sleeping in a sleeping bag under the stars on a camp... these days I prefer our nice warm camper trailer thanks..... and as many "niceties" as possible.

Cheers

Brian

I guess I still keep it rather simple, fridge, tent, airbed, gas stove and a few lights and a nice chair.

Am working on a laptop and GPS. I want to be able to download photos and start plotting some tracks for fun.

PS .............. FOOD AND BEER just kinda adds that extra touch to a camp out :)
