If camping for you means heading bush with the other half and the tin lids, then no doubt you’ll be used to taking bucketloads of camping gear with you. You may have even considered a camper trailer as a way to get everyone camping more.

Did you know that with the right setup of camping gear from 4WD Supacentre you can easily and comfortable housing up to six or seven family members camping out of the one 4×4? It’s true – and you can do it without dragging a box trailer’s worth of gear with you as well! It all comes down to how clever you are with your vehicle’s setup, and the types of camping gear you take with you.

Let’s run through this ultimate seven-person family camping setup that can all be achieved with one 4×4.

1.ROOFTOP TENT FOR MUM AND DAD
First off let’s talk about mum and dad. You’ve been camping for years and these days you want a comfortable camp setup that’ll give you plenty of room and a decent bit of privacy right? That’s where a rooftop tent comes into the picture. Add a rooftop tent to a roof top tent roof rack and you’ve instantly got the master bedroom sorted. The Adventure Kings rooftop tents are huge, comfortable and set up in minutes to provide an excellent night’s sleep when you’re out camping. You can even leave all your bedding in your roof top tent so there’s less to pack into your 4×4. Set it up so it opens over the rear of your vehicle – we’ll explain why in a moment.

2.ROOF TOP TENT ANNEXE FOR THE YOUNG ONES
The Adventure Kings Tourer roof top tent comes with an included annex that zips to the bottom of your roof top tent and turns into a full enclosed tent once setup. It’s perfect for throwing a stretcher or two into so that the really young kids can still sleep close enough to mum and dad. As a bonus, mum and dad will love the fact you can stand right up in a rooftop tent annex to get dressed of a morning, and the annex sets up and packs away in minutes once you’ve got your rooftop tent all setup.

3.AWNING TENT FOR THE PRIMARY SCHOOLERS
You’ve already got your rooftop tent roof rack to mount your rooftop tent to, so why not hang an awning off the side? That gives you the opportunity to run an awning tent off one side of the vehicle that’s spot-on for throwing a couple of stretcher beds in for the primary schoolers. They’ll feel like they’re out camping on their own but you’ll still be able to hear them if they call out. Which may or may not be a good thing, come to think of it…

4.SWAGS FOR THE TEENAGERS
Everyone knows teenagers, like totally need their like, privacy. You wouldn’t understand what it’s like, mum and dad. To get those who would rather be at home out camping more, give them a bit of that privacy with their own Adventure Kings single escape swag. The swags are 100% waterproof, extremely comfy and are easy to setup so they can pull their own weight by setting up and packing away their own swag. Best of all, they can drag their swag a bit away from camp so they can have the privacy they crave.

5.ADDITIONAL AWNING FOR THE LIVING ROOM
Remember how we suggested you set up your rooftop tent so it opens off the rear of your vehicle? With this entire setup you’ll have one awning with an awning tent off one side of the vehicle, so use all available space by hanging an awning off the opposite side, complete with a couple of awning walls and a mesh floor. You’ve instantly got a sheltered, clean living and cooking area where the whole family can hang out. Add in a couple of chairs and a camping table from 4WD Supacentre and just like that you’ve got a setup that’ll house six or seven family members out bush, without having to tow your old box trailer behind you!
