Hi all, we have just started
camping again after a break of 20yrs. Been lurking here since Feb last yr when we bought a camper trailer. Big panic for me was how to cater for 3 adults and 1 dog. Add to that much gold detecting gear and accessories and too much of everything.
After buying/trying all sorts of boxes and containers have now reduced it to cooler/chiller bags from Woolies. I could not get rigid boxes to fit inside the trailer draw and they also rubbed/squeaked inside the Jackaroo. Also, every box I saw had at least a one inch lip,(wasted space) around the outer edge. Once camped, they needed lids to keep the crawlies out of the food.
Now I can fill these bags with more packets, cans or bottles than I could ever fit in a box, and I can also 'mould' them to fit into any required space while travelling. Once
camp is set up, they can be left in the trailer or out of it under the 'galley' drawer, zipped up until needed and, when empty, folded up and put away. They are easy to lift via the handles, especially if you are camped in uneven terrain when you might need one hand to hold onto something, and they can be used as auxilliary esky if need be. Hope this helps
camping newbies and oldies like us.
