If you’ve ever thought ‘I wish I could get off-road for a few nights but I just can’t fit any of the camping gear in my car’ this is the article for you. Whether you own a 4-door sedan like a Holden Commodore or you’re stuck with the missus’ small hatchback Mazda 2 we’re here to tell you that you don’t need a 4WD to get offroad but the huge range of 4WD Accessories and camping gear available from 4WD Supacentre and before you ask – no, you don’t have to break the bank to do it!

While Toyota Hilux’s were the number selling car of 2017 and there’s been a huge rise in SUV’s across the Australia market tonnes of Aussies still rely on a smaller sedan or hatchback and the range of 4WD accessories on offer has skyrocketed too. But be careful, not everything you see online or on your travels is going to be as high quality or suited to getting to a campsite in your vehicle as the Kings range. Plus, many other brands are more expensive.

There’s plenty of campsites – both free and paid – that are easily accessible without a 4WD but to find some of the most hidden of gems a VMS 700 Touring HDX On & Off-Road Navigator can get you there. With over 3000 maps including 1000+ free campsites you’ll never be short of options. The 7” HD touchscreen makes it simple to use and you’ll also have 5 years of free street map updates. While not strictly thought of as a 4WD accessory or piece of camping gear this little bit of kit will pay for itself in a few short trips.

QUICK TIP: For just pennies you can add in a VMS Reverse Camera with wide angle lens – give your pride and joy that little upgrade it’s been begging for.

Now to get your bedding sorted – the Kings range of single swags & double swags are perfect for any campsite, backyard BBQ, kid’s sleepover or as a makeshift bed for the in-laws. The Big Daddy is by far Australia’s #1 selling swag – it’s a massive 1550mm wide but don’t let its size fool you – it’ll fit easily in any car. With the waterproof and durable 400gsm ripstop polycotton canvas you’ll be warm and dry in any weather condition plus it even  comes with a super comfy mattress. Upgrade to the Deluxe Double Swag model for an even comfier nights sleep with the thicker 70mm mattress. Check this handy video with tips and tricks to fold your brand new double swag even quicker!

With your affordable accommodation sorted you’ll now be wanting to add a few creature comforts. Unfortunately, you’ll be lacking the full 12v setups that are available to most 4WDers with dual battery systems, deep cycle batteries & power management systems from the likes of CTEK. A portable camping generator from Kings is a great way to take care of your power needs. The 2KVA model is a great size due to its lightweight, compact design. It features 2x 240v outlets as well as a standard 12v ciga plug meaning whatever you need to power you won’t be stuffing around with adaptors and it’s easier than you could imagine to start with the simple rip start cord. It already doesn’t break the bank but chuck it in economy mode to make your fuel last that little bit longer and you’ll be cheering.

Every Aussie knows the importance of keeping those beverages cold at home let alone a campsite and while it would be easy to power a portable fridge and trust us, the 60L Kings Fridge/ Freezer is hard to beat for value for money but you’re going to be likely to struggle with space. That’s why we’d recommend one of the portable ice boxes from the Kings range. Available in 4 sizes from 40L , 60L, 80L and 100L all with superior insulation you’ll never be left worrying about having a coldie on hand.

To us, these pieces of camping gear are the most essential for setting out on any trip with a smaller vehicle but you don’t need to stop there. A 3m x 3m mesh floor is a great way to add even more comfort to your campsite and everyone loves a comfy camp chair and we’ve got 2 different options for you to choose from. Throw in a portable gazebo for your shade, some LED camp lights to couple with your Kings generator, a portable bbq like the Voyager Grill for the morning cook ups and you’ll have one of the most enviable camping setups imaginable.
