There aren’t many other things we’d rather be doing than when we hit some top quality sections of track and having a good time with our friends and family. This article is dedicated to getting you more track time, and not missing out on quality time with the other half or family whilst doing what you love the most.

Comfort is key

We’ve all heard the phrase, ‘Happy wife, happy life’ this is your golden rule, you may be happy to roll around in the mud all day and hit the hay without having a shower. But nothing could be further from the truth for your other half, something as simple as a fresh water rinse can make the difference of night and day.

A simple 12v shower like the adventure kings 12v shower can make all the difference, pressure shower anywhere you can park your vehicle and have a water source, and as a wise man once told us, if you can heat the water you’ll get extra brownie points, so boil up your billy kettle and add it to your water supply for a warm shower no matter what season it is.

The next step to comfort is having a safe place to go to the toilet. Nothing beats not peeing on your shoes, so I’m told, so getting your hands on a flushable toilet, like the Adventure Kings portable toilet might sway the other half to come camping more often. But don’t forget to grab a shower tent for a little privacy (and lots of brownie points).

The next step to making sure the other half is comfortable is by cooking foods she likes, between me and my mates we could devour 2 kilos of snags in an afternoon sitting. But the better half has more refined tastes, so make sure you cater to her needs, add some fresh veg to the mix and get creative, you’d be surprised with how well you can eat on the tracks, and just how far the green stuff goes without taking up all the drinks space in your 12v car fridge.

Back to the phrase ‘happy wife, happy life’ nothing rings truer than when it’s time to hit the sack. There is a plethora of sleeping options available, but nothing comes close to the comfort of a Kings roof top tent, take it from me, the massive 80mm mattress is more comfortable than your bed at home massive fly mesh also allows for excellent ventilation, and offers awesome sunrise and sunset views, and it will also keep you and the better half up off the deck and away from the creepy crawlies!

There isn’t very much bad to say about the comfort you get camping in a rooftop tent. If you get one, she’ll love you for it, all you need to add is a cozy warm sleeping bag like the Adventure King premium sleeping bags which zip together meaning you can lay cozy on cool winters nights, and share your warmth, the added benefit to being zipped together is there will be no arguments about who steels the blankets at night!

Another way to add a level of comfort is by getting yourself a solid camping refrigerator. By introducing this to your camping artillery the comforts from home don’t end up floating around in an ice bath, like a sore athlete.

Through personal experience, I’ve had many occasions fishing beers out of icy water with 2 or 3 broken eggs, this can turn even the heaviest drinker into a sober man, when everything tastes like raw eggs you’ll soon be drinking warm beers for lack of better options.

A refrigerator allows you to keep dairy fresh, cheese and dips for the afternoon, and refreshing beverages on tap at all times, not only will you both be happier for it, you can rest assured you can chill a beer to the perfect temperature with set and forget thermometer settings!

Starting out with the objective of getting your camp comfier for your partner, it’s easy to see why many people end up upgrading their camping setups for their own comfort.

After realising the value for money of an Adventure Kings campsite, you’ll get even the most staunch city slicker, boot scooting in no time!
