If you\u2019re just getting into, or just getting back<\/em> into, camping, then on behalf of all of us here at 4WD Supacentre, let us extend a warm welcome! Camping\u2019s one of the most enjoyable recreational pursuits you can ever under-take. It helps connect mates and family members together, it lowers stress levels and it opens up a whole new world of education to the little ones amongst us that they\u2019d never get in a classroom.<\/p>\n

Whether you\u2019re gearing up to go camping for the first time, or you\u2019re just stepping back into the camping world after time spent away, it\u2019s easy to get lost in all the different options available. And we\u2019ll put our hand up and take responsibility for that, because here at 4WD Supacentre our goal is to make camping as affordable as possible! That means we sell one of Australia\u2019s best ranges of quality camping gear, at unbeatable prices. Here\u2019s our list of seven of the best bits of camping gear to buy in 2018 that\u2019ll transform your campsite like you wouldn\u2019t believe. Forget what you used to know about camping, because this is the future and it\u2019s here right now!<\/p>\n

LED CAMP LIGHT KIT:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Gone are the days of using halogen battery powered lights or even gas-powered lights around camp! These days LED camp lights<\/strong><\/a> rule supreme and there\u2019s little wonder why. They\u2019re so bright, and yet they draw such little power that you won\u2019t risk flattening your battery by running LED camp lights<\/strong><\/a> for a couple of hours. At 4WD Supacentre you can buy either a four<\/strong> <\/a>or a five bar LED camp light kit<\/strong><\/a>, or you can also get ahold of a 1.3m<\/strong> <\/a>or 4m LED strip light<\/strong> <\/a>that\u2019s perfect for hanging off your tent<\/strong> <\/a>or awning<\/strong><\/a>. We even make a beaut little 2<\/strong>-in-1 LED light and fan<\/strong><\/a> that\u2019s battery powered and perfect for those muggy nights at camp!<\/p>\n

HAVE A PROPER SHOWER WHEREVER YOU GO<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

One thing that puts a lot of people off camping, is not being able to shower every day. We\u2019ve solved that problem with the introduction of our genius 12v Portable Shower Kit<\/a>!<\/strong> This light-weight kit runs off your car or 4WD\u2019s cigarette lighter for power, and can draw water from just about any clean source, before pumping it out of the 2m hose and the showerhead. Our favourite way of doing it to boil a billy or two of hot water, mix it with some cold water in a bucket and you\u2019ve got a proper hot shower!<\/p>\n

SHADE OFF THE SIDE OF YOUR CAR OR 4X4:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve sold tens of thousands of our legendary 4WD side awnings<\/strong><\/a>, and it\u2019s little wonder why. They can be setup by one person in 60 seconds, and they\u2019re brilliant quality too. At 4WD Supacentre, we\u2019ve taken the concept of a 4×4 awning<\/strong><\/a> to the next level by developing add-ons like awning walls<\/strong><\/a>, mesh floors<\/strong> <\/a>and even fully-enclosed mozzie nets<\/strong><\/a> and proper enclosed tents<\/strong>!<\/a> Campers love the modular design of our awnings<\/strong> <\/a>which lets them set up their campsite exactly how they want it.<\/p>\n

INSTANT SHELTER WHEREVER YOU ARE:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Camping gazebos<\/strong><\/a> are the next big thing in the camping world, because they offer instant amounts of shelter. The Adventure Kings 4wd gazebos<\/strong> <\/a>are available in both a 3m x 3m<\/strong><\/a> and 3m x 6m size<\/strong><\/a>, and we\u2019ve taken the modular concept of our side awnings<\/strong> <\/a>and applied it to our 3m x 3m\u00a0<\/strong><\/a>too. Not only can you get a brilliant-value gazebo<\/strong> <\/a>from 4WD Supacentre, but you can also buy side walls, mozzie nets<\/strong><\/a> and even fully-enclosed massive 3m x 3m tents<\/strong><\/a> that let you shelter the entire family!<\/p>\n

SLEEPING BAGS \u2013 BUT NOT LIKE YOU KNOW \u2018EM:<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Adventure Kings Premium Winter\/Summer sleeping bags<\/strong><\/a> are the king of all-weather, super-comfortable sleeping bags! If you\u2019ve ever shivered through a freezing night in a thin, sub-standard sleeping bag, then you\u2019ll be blown away by how good these sleeping bags are. Rated to -5\u00b0C, the best part is you don\u2019t have to ditch them in the summer as there are 2 individual layers which can be removed to suit warmer camping weather. Plus, they zip together so you and your other half can have a snuggle on a cold night, the tough but comfy poly-cotton canvas outer and soft flannel interior mean you\u2019ll have a cracking night\u2019s sleeping \u2013 whatever the weather!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
