Blame Nay-Dmax, all her fault. ha ha ha

That is a bit tough blaming me I offered the help to clean it up haha maybe blame Evo(lution) for having coffee jars without screw on lids haha. TJ it was coffee not sure if it was good but I wasnt trying it once it had been all over the floor of the cruiser even if Wayne does keep it spotless haha

A backup camera so there's no excuse to be able to take plenty of pics

…and spare batteries and SD card.     

A spare credit card that's not kept in your wallet.    Also, advice from VKS-737; remember that you can't transmit credit card details over the radio so leave those details with a friend who can then relay them by phone to the towing service (in case they won't come to your rescue without that info)

Tyre plug kit.
Water.
Mesh for radiator cover.
Water.
Enough tools (and the correct ones) to tighten anything that can (and it will!) rattle loose.
Water.
Metal mend (the 2 part stuff) to fix a holed fuel tank. Also the plasic putty stuff for water tanks, jerries etc.
Water.
A few coat hangers. The metal ones. Can be used to re-attach an exhaust and can double as a spinefex remover for under the vehicle.
Water.
A sharp knife. Sounds disgusting, but to dispatch any animal strikes that arn't finished off.
Did I mention Water...........
Tyre pressure gauge and deflators.
Oh, don't forget the Water............

just pack every thing you needed, but didn't have on the last trip.

Rule of thumb is you will only ever need whatever you did not bring.

Ear muffs for when the better half is giving it to you for not bringing a spare of whatever just broke.

[oldmate]

Hi Wayne
It may be worth think about some garden hose (or something similar) around your under vehicle lines, brake lines fuel lines...you get the idea, this will prevent damage from rocks and the like when on rough roads.

I think this is a great tip. Thanks for e heads up mate

My better half gave it to me on our recent trip to Bali because I forgot the ear plugs!   (She doesn't like noisy planes.)

You cant go wrong with any spares but I reckon a spare set of keys is very important.

Just don't leave them in the glove box!

You can never have enough spare parts but will always take too many. On our 18000km trip last year I broke/lost/had to replace:

elbow for water tank line - luckily had 40L spare water in drums
centre pin from trailer leaf
fuses
Anderson plug
air filter
bow shackle
bulbs

It is impossible to prepare for everything but I recommend a good tool kit. I had most of the required spares but was able to repair the rest with the tool kit until we reached the next town. Most things can be sourced out and about.

They are very good, I have a set as well...

[AdrianLR]

A brass drift to remove a bearing seat.  Had to do it on a boat trailer once on the side of the road and found that a big $2 shop screwdriver which has the strength of putty was also good - much softer than the bearing/hub so didn't scratch anything when it slips.

Get a spare set of bearings and seals (look up Bearing Supplies in the Yellowpages), fill them with grease then seal them in a bag. Vacuum sealer is great but a few zip bags will also work. A spare cap is also worth getting.

You can buy Rescue Tape from SuperCheap, particularly when they have it on special.

A windscreen repair kit is useful. Stops small cracks getting bigger. Spare headlight globes as well.

Wow, $400 ear plugs..??..?? Seriously??

I must be in a different bunnings than you guys?

oftern overlooked until too late!

A full roll is usually overkill. I pinch a 70% finished roll, wrap it in a plastic shopping bag, and pop into glovebox of every vehicle we have. With a family of 5 this does tend to get used often.

Also has sometimes helped out in fire starting duties

Wouldn't twigs and leaves serve both purposes as well?

[Wuzgonna]

A spare Anderson plug for the charging wire to the trailer.

Lost mine in the Oodnadatta and had to pay $19.40 for a half in Coober Pedy.

They do shake loose now and again so a spare is really handy.

Now wheres the best place to buy a porta potti or should I say who has a decent range? Rays, Anaconda, caravan shop?

I have just googled porta potti, now I surprised that people travel with a toilet and all.  We are savages, as just use a shovel and run into the scrub, using the burn and bury method, but we do use toilet paper, as one can get splinters from leaves and grass.  Yes it did happen.
