Hi Andrew,
Thanks for your comments and you are obviously very experienced and have your gear choices
well sorted to suit your style and circumstances.
It seems you travel very light and that might become a good choice for us also on some occasions. I guess we all have differing
views on what gear buy and to take on certain trips but it comes down to what suits our individual circumstances, future objectives, an so on - good job we are all different otherwise life would be dull :).
Definitely not planning to run a generator when it will intrude on others enjoyment, solitude and peace - we are very thoughtful people and consider this is a basic
camp site courtesy - however the generator might come in handy for us to charge our mobile devices, computers, charge the car battery etc. along the route during the frequent stops we have in mind. The generator is a Honda 1000w and is super quiet. We know of 2 families who always carry this generator when camping even if they don't use it but it is there for emergencies.
Some weekend trips with our new gear is part of our planning process and any gear surplus to requirement for a particular trip will go into temporary storage. We could even put our trailer into storage if we liked. We have Led lights also.
We have also done a lot of camping over the years also and reckon we have our new gear more than covered for our current, future and the various trips we have planned for ourselves.
We are selling our house and plan to resettle either overseas or on the coast somewhere when we get sick of traveling - so what we take now is our temporary household :) - if get we sick of camping then our budget allows for hotels, trips overseas or what ever we like to do really - but we both love the outdoor lifestyle and want to see Australia before we get any older - I am a retired and healthy 58 years old.
Thanks a lot for your comments and meeting others like yourself, during our trip to get different opinions and tips is something we are really looking forward to.
