We have one of the best countries in the world for camping<\/a><\/strong>, with absolutely incredible 4×4 camping<\/a> <\/strong>at our back doorstep no matter where in the country you live. 4WD Supacentre<\/a><\/strong> is Australia\u2019s leading provider of incredible value camping accessories<\/a><\/strong> and we pride ourselves on the fact that we make camping<\/a> <\/strong>accessible for more Aussies than ever before. Our massive range of camping gear<\/a><\/strong> and 4×4 camping accessories<\/a><\/strong> all has one thing in common \u2013 incredible value! All our camping gear<\/a><\/strong> is the perfect combination of excellent quality and unbeatable price. If you\u2019re just starting out camping<\/a><\/strong>, or you\u2019re getting back into camping<\/a> <\/strong>after a little while away, you may be a little overwhelmed by the sheer amount of choice available when it comes to camping accessories<\/a><\/strong>. Here\u2019s our guide to setting up your campsite to make sure you have the best camping<\/a> <\/strong>experience possible.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. MAKE YOUR CAMPING ACCOMODATION EASY TO SETUP AND PACKUP
    \nThe number one reason that people get turned off     camping<\/a> <\/strong>is because they hate setting up and packing away ultra-complicated tents that take hours of messing around. Here at 4WD Supacentre<\/a><\/strong> we hate over-complicated camping gear<\/a><\/strong> too, so we\u2019ve made it our mission to make our 4×4 camping gear<\/a><\/strong> simple. Our huge range of tents, swags<\/a> <\/strong>and roof top tents<\/a><\/strong> are all incredibly easy to setup and pack away and they\u2019re seriously good quality too.<\/li>\n
  2. MAKE SURE YOU\u2019VE GOT PLENTY OF SHELTER TOO
    \nAnyone can go     camping<\/a> <\/strong>when the weather is good, but you need to be able to prepare for a change in the weather too. When the wind or the rain rolls in, you want lots of under-cover sheltered space otherwise you\u2019ll end up having to tuck yourself into your swag<\/a> <\/strong>at 4pm! The Adventure Kings range of gazebos<\/a><\/strong> and 4×4 awnings<\/a><\/strong> are quick to setup and provide heaps of excellent shelter.<\/li>\n
  3. UPGRADE YOUR 4×4\u2019S ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
    \nAt some stage you\u2019re going to want to start bringing more of those mod-cons from home with you. You\u2019ll probably want to invest in a     portable fridge<\/a><\/strong>, and you\u2019ll definitely want LED camp lights<\/a><\/strong> (more on that in a second), but you\u2019ll need a good dual battery system to handle it all. 4WD Supacentre<\/a><\/strong> sells a range of dual battery chargers<\/a><\/strong> and AGM deep cycle batterie<\/strong>s<\/a> to handle all your 12v needs.<\/li>\n
  4. ADD LOTS OF LIGHTING TO YOUR CAMPING<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    LED camp lights<\/a><\/strong> are brilliant around camp because they\u2019re ultra-bright but they also draw very little power compared to traditional halogen lights. Whether it\u2019s a 1 metre strip light<\/a><\/strong> or one of our cracking four<\/a><\/strong> or five bar LED camp lighting kits<\/a><\/strong>, you can\u2019t go past good LED camp lighting<\/a><\/strong> as a way of upgrading your camping gear<\/a><\/strong>. Hang the LED camp lights<\/a><\/strong> from your awning<\/a><\/strong> or your gazebo<\/a> <\/strong>and you will never have to stumble around in the dark again.<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. DON\u2019T FORGET A GOOD COMFY CAMP CHAIR<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Forget that ratty old cheap camp chair you bought from the hardware store, because it\u2019s doing you no favours! There\u2019s absolutely nothing like having a comfy camp chair<\/a><\/strong> when you\u2019re kicking back at camp, and the range of Adventure Kings camp chairs<\/a><\/strong> are seriously comfy! There\u2019s a couple of different styles depending on what type of camping<\/a> <\/strong>you do and what you like best, but what they have in common is they\u2019re both built to last. That\u2019s good because you\u2019re going to spend a lot of time kicking back around the campfire in then!<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. ONCE YOU HAVE THE BASICS SORTED, START CUSTOMISING YOUR CAMPSITE AND YOUR 4×4
