Post by: jetcrew on August 19, 2015, 05:50:35 PM: My best camping accessory was a quick release spreader bar for the awning , I found it at outback adventures at Morayfield for about $18 from memory

did not come with the led strip though just the bar ..it made setting it at right length very very easy

Added a little hook to pick it up as well, but Im currently modifying that to have a magnet.

Mine was more expensive than that. But I think I am depreciating faster :)

You might have got her for less than 20 bucks, but it's the ongoing cost that kills you ... ;D

Post by: Footy Shorts Shane on August 20, 2015, 08:31:59 AM: One of these stools. No one else will sit in it. It's always where I left it upon returning to camp, it never wanders off to other camps when in a group, like all of the rest of our gear >:(

I got one of them from Aldi. Looks a good piece of kit.

I have no idea what it does either. I just put it under the sink, and some days it appears up beside the sink with stuff in it. ???

Post by: cruiser 91 on August 20, 2015, 10:01:12 PM: Hmmmmmmmmm, Many moons ago......................I camped out overnight on a south coast beach of NSW (Ulladulla), met a 1/2 Cambodian 1/2 Spanish female tourist, absolutely gorgeous.
A few cans of UDL's that evening and bacon and eggs breakfast the following morning was the best $20 I ever spent for camping, come to think of it, its the best $20 ever spent in my life.
