If you love going camping<\/a><\/strong> but you hate the thought of battling your way through setting up camp, then
\nthis guide is for you. We love our jobs here at 4WD Supacentre<\/a><\/strong>, because we live and breathe camping<\/a><\/strong>.
\nWe\u2019ve got a collective couple of hundred years of camping<\/a><\/strong> experience right across the whole team here,
\nand if there\u2019s one thing we know, it\u2019s that it is so essential to ensure your camp setup is easy. Battling
\nthrough setting up camp while your mates are kicking back relaxing frankly sucks. With that in mind,
\nwe\u2019ve created this guide to six easy ways you can make setting up camp easier thanks to 4WD<\/a><\/strong>
\nSupacentre<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

1. DITCH YOUR CRAPPY OLD TENT. These days there are so many different options for camping<\/a><\/strong>
\naccommodation that you no longer need to battle through setting up multiple tent rooms with
\ndozens of poles. If you\u2019re still camping<\/a><\/strong> out of a 20 year old heavy-canvas tent then you\u2019re
\nmaking it so much harder for yourself! Swags<\/a><\/strong> set up in minutes and provide heaps of quality
\nshelter, and roof top tents are just as quick to set up too. One person can easily set up a roof top<\/a><\/strong>
\ntent<\/a><\/strong> or a swag<\/a><\/strong> in under five minutes and that\u2019s if you\u2019re taking it easy and doing it for the first
\ntime.<\/p>\n

2. KEEP ALL YOUR BEDDING INSIDE YOUR CAMPING<\/a><\/strong> ACCOMODATION. Whether you camp out of a
\nswag<\/a><\/strong> or a rooftop tent<\/a><\/strong>, one of the best features of either is an ability to store all your sheets,
\npillows and sleeping bags<\/a><\/strong> or doonas inside the rooftop tent<\/a><\/strong> or swag<\/a><\/strong> when you pack it away. That
\nmeans you can open up your swag<\/a><\/strong> or rooftop tent<\/a><\/strong> and be ready to sleep instantly! No more
\nhaving to carry all your bedding in the back of the 4WD and continually make your bed every
\nsingle night.<\/p>\n

3. KEEP A COUPLE OF MESH FLOORS<\/a><\/strong> ON HAND. In fact, keep them packed in the back of your 4WD
\nso you can grab them before anything else. Half the battle of setting up camp is keeping the
\nwhole thing clean, so the first thing you should do is throw down a mesh floor<\/a><\/strong> to keep all your
\ncamping gear<\/a><\/strong> up and out of the dirt. Make it the first thing you setup at camp and the last thing
\nyou pack away, and you\u2019ll reduce how dirty your camp gear gets in a massive way!<\/p>\n

4. MAKE YOUR WHOLE SETUP MODULAR. Whether it\u2019s a camping gazebo<\/a><\/strong> or an awning<\/a><\/strong> for the side
\nof your 4WD, here at 4WD Supacentre<\/a><\/strong> we\u2019ve designed our campsite shelter<\/a><\/strong> options to be fully
\nmodular. That means you can add side walls<\/a><\/strong>, mesh floors<\/a><\/strong>, mozzie nets<\/a><\/strong> and even fully-enclosed<\/a><\/strong>
\ntents<\/a><\/strong> to either your awning<\/a><\/strong> or your gazebo<\/a><\/strong> that are all designed to work together in a modular
\nfashion using zips and Velcro straps. All the different add-ons for your awning<\/a><\/strong> or gazebo<\/a><\/strong> are easy
\nto use, and take next to no time to setup.<\/p>\n

5. FORGET TARPS \u2013 USE A CAMPING GAZEBO<\/a><\/strong>. We\u2019ve spent countless hours over the years trying to
\nrig up tarps between trees and 4WDs, only to have them come down again at the first gust of
\nwind. Tarps are old-school and they\u2019ve honestly had their day as a main means of campsite
\nshelter. These days a 3×3 gazebo<\/a><\/strong> or 3×6 gazebo<\/a><\/strong> is a much better option for campsite shelter<\/a><\/strong>
\nbecause a gazebo<\/a><\/strong> is tough as nails, easy to setup and easy to pack away. Forget struggling with
\nmultiple poles and ropes, a gazebo<\/a><\/strong> is where it\u2019s at!<\/p>\n

6. BE BRUTAL \u2013 IF IT\u2019S HARD TO USE, DITCH IT. Be honest with your camping<\/a><\/strong> setup. Whatever is
\ndifficult to use, has no place in your setup. Whether it\u2019s something like that tarp you string up
\nover your car, or even old camp chairs that are dirty and grubby and don\u2019t open like they should,
\nthere\u2019s no need to struggle your way through setting up camp. After all, this is all about relaxing
\nand enjoying being in the great outdoors, so there\u2019s no point making it harder than it needs to<\/p>\n

be! Especially when 4WD Supacentre<\/a><\/strong> has such a massive range of incredible quality camping<\/a><\/strong>
\ngear<\/a><\/strong> at insane prices that delivers unbeatable value. Go on, treat yourself to some new camping<\/a><\/strong>
\ngear<\/a><\/strong> and watch what it does to your camp setup!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
