G'day all,

Went for a camp the other day as a test run for the big one. Problem was it took a while to set up and pack up with all the other gear- nearly 3 hours. If we are going to do this every day for 20 or days, SWMBO will get pretty sick of it.

So I'm looking to streamline it all. We have a 3-room dome tent for the 4 of us. The kids are 3.5 and 2 y.o., so wee need to be all in the same place. I'm thinking there has to be something better!

I'm aware of the Oztent and BW Turbo and am considering the Oztrail pole tents, but I'm hoping to keep the budget down and some of the reviews of the latter are mixed bag. Either way, it has to be robust. I'll be towing a 7x4 trailer with all our gear, so space isn't an issue.

As an added complexity, my neighbour is selling an old Windsor camper trailer (strengthened) which is a bit of a bargain and very appealing from a comfort point of view. Just not sure my 3.0L Hilux diesel can tow it 8000km so am baulking...

Your input is greatly appreciated.
