Boy has the year flown past, its already the 4^th of April so the year 2022 is already a quarter way done. So that means one big thing, Easter is just around the corner. Whether your religious or not, in Australia, Easter is one of our biggest camping holidays. With a dedicated four-day weekend it’s a great time of year to spend quality time with family and friends. What better way to unwind and enjoy your time together then a great camping adventure. If you’re an avid camper or just starting out, it’s always important to have the right gear. However, something that’s often overlooked even by the avid camper is the importance of accessories. Although they may not be an essential piece of camping gear, having the right accessory can do you wonders at camp. Here at 4WD Supacentre its no secret we love our camping and all outdoor adventures. That’s why we pride ourselves in not only supplying the essential camping gear, but also the little accessories that can drastically improve your camping experience. In particular those smaller vehicle accessories you may so often overlook or not even think of. So, if you want to improve your time at camp whilst protecting your vehicle then read along, as in this article I’ll list some of my favorite vehicle accessories available at 4WD Supacentre.

Simple and effective, you honestly can’t go wrong with a set of Heavy-Duty Floor Mats. Weather you’ve been on a wet grassy footy field or a muddy trail a set of car floor mats will protect your vehicles carpet from your dirty shoes and feet. 4WD Floor Mats feature two main features over traditional car floor mats. Firstly the fact they are constructed from hard wearing rubber makes them super easy to clean. Not only can you give them a quick shake like a standard floor mat, but for when their really dirty simply chuck them on the driveway and give them a good hose down. Secondly our Heavy-Duty Floor Mats are a deep dish design, this means they feature a thick lip edge. This is particularly helpful in keeping the wet sloppy mud from the trail, inside the 4WD Floor Mats and therefore not spilling over the edges onto your vehicles carpet.

In order to truly protect your vehicles interior my top recommendation is to pair your Heavy-Duty Floor Mats with a set of car seat covers. When shopping for a second hand car, the state of the interior and in particular the front seats is the first thing buyers normally inspect. So, protecting your car seats with some Heavy Duty Seat Covers is great a way to retain a high resell value. At 4WD Supacentre we offer three different models, so you’ll certainly be able to find one that suits yours and your vehicle’s needs.

Whilst on the subject, a dirty gear bag is another great way to protect your vehicle from mess particularly whilst at camp. Spare wheel bags can have a variety of uses but my personal favourite is to hold rubbish whilst at camp. Simply store your rubbish in a plastic bag when you’re on your adventure. Then when it comes time to pack up throw the plastic bag safely in the dirty gear bag until your reach the nearest bin. Rather then throwing the plastic bag in your rig and risking the dreaded bag split, spilling bin juice everywhere.

The dash of a car a is normally the first piece of interior to fail. Cracking and fading it’s hard for vehicle interiors to withstand the constant beating from the harsh Australian sun. That’s why a car sunshade is the perfect accessory to help fight the sun. Not only will a vehicle sunshade protect your car’s interior from damage but by stopping peering eyes it can also deter theft too. However, the biggest plus would have to be the fact a windscreen sunshade helps keep the inside of your car from reaching sweltering temperatures after a full day in the sun.  So, with a windshield sunshade you can say goodbye to the days of getting branded by the seatbelt buckle.

Having a roof cage or a set of roof racks is incredibly handy for the larger bulky items. Although sometimes I find I even run out of space for the smaller items when my cars fully loaded with passengers, or I simply have too much gear. Rather than strapping each individual item down 4WD Supercentre offer an easy solution of a roof top storage bag. This is not only super simple but also keeps everything locked inside safe from rain. 4WD Supercentre offers both a full length and half length version so we can best cater to your storage needs. The benefit of a roof rack bag over a hard shell version is that it can conform to the amount of items placed inside. Thus, if your roof cage bag is nearly empty you can strap it down tight reducing its size. This is great for low clearance car parks and improving fuel economy, which in today’s market is a huge plus.  

Lastly but certainly not least is a vehicle Sand Safety Flag, if you do a lot of sand dune driving then the best way to protect your vehicle is preventing a crash and the best way to prevent a collision is with a 4WD Sand Safety Flag. A sand dune flag helps you stay visible to other vehicles before you reach the crest of the hill. At 4WD Supercentre we offer a 3m Sand Safety Flag that features the handy ability to dissemble into 3 easy to transport 1m sections.

As you can see here at 4WD Supercentre we offer a huge range of accessories that can protect your vehicle. So, to have fun on your next adventure whilst protecting your vehicle jump online or head into your nearest 4WD Supercentre store, for some quality vehicle accessories.
