If you\u2019re just getting into, or just getting back into, camping<\/a><\/strong>, then on behalf of all of us here at Adventure Kings<\/a><\/strong> and 4WD Supacentre<\/a><\/strong>, let us extend a warm welcome! Camping<\/strong> <\/a>is easily 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\n\n\n

Whether you\u2019re gearing up to go camping<\/strong> <\/a>for the first time, or you\u2019re just stepping back into the camping<\/strong> <\/a>world after some 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<\/a><\/strong> our goal is to make camping better, easier and more affordable for everyone out there! That means we sell one of Australia\u2019s best ranges of high quality camping<\/strong> gear<\/strong><\/a>, at simply unbeatable prices. Here\u2019s our list of five of the best bits of camping gear<\/a><\/strong> to buy in 2021 that\u2019ll transform your campsite<\/strong> <\/a>like you wouldn\u2019t believe. Forget what you used to know about camping<\/a><\/strong>, because this is the future and it\u2019s here right now!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

LED CAMP LIGHT KIT<\/a>
<\/strong>Gone are the days of using halogen battery powered lights<\/a><\/strong> or even gas-powered lights<\/a><\/strong> around camp! These days LED camp lights<\/a><\/strong> 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<\/a><\/strong> for a couple of hours. Here at Adventure Kings<\/a><\/strong> and 4WD Supacentre<\/a><\/strong> you can buy either a four or a five bar LED camp light kit<\/a><\/strong>, or you can also get a hold of a 1m or 4m LED strip light<\/a><\/strong> that\u2019s perfect for hanging off your tent<\/strong> <\/a>or awning<\/a><\/strong>. We even make a beaut little two-in-one LED light<\/a><\/strong> and fan that\u2019s battery powered and perfect for those muggy nights at camp<\/a><\/strong>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

HAVE A PROPER SHOWER <\/a>WHEREVER YOU GO<\/strong>
One thing that puts a lot of people off camping<\/a><\/strong>, is not being able to shower<\/strong> <\/a>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<\/a><\/strong>\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 is 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! You can also heat up a steel bucket full of water on the fire and have a shower that way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SHADE OFF THE SIDE OF YOUR CAR OR 4X4<\/a>
<\/strong>We have sold tens of thousands of our legendary 4WD side awnings<\/a><\/strong>, and it\u2019s little wonder why. They can be setup by one person in under 60 seconds, and they\u2019re brilliant quality too. Here at Adventure Kings<\/a> <\/strong>and 4WD Supacentre<\/a><\/strong>, we\u2019ve taken the concept of a 4×4 awning<\/a><\/strong> to the next level by developing add-ons like awning walls<\/a><\/strong>, mesh floors<\/a><\/strong> and proper enclosed awning tents<\/a><\/strong> as well as led strip lights<\/a><\/strong> which can be left in the awning<\/strong> <\/a>after it has been packed up! Campers<\/strong> <\/a>love the modular design of our awnings<\/strong> <\/a>which lets them set up their campsite<\/strong> <\/a>exactly how they want it. We offer a multitude of different shapes, styles and sizes of awnings<\/a><\/strong>– so you can be sure that we have one that\u2019ll suit your needs perfectly. WE even offer the highly sought after 270\u00b0 Wrap Around Awning<\/a>, <\/strong>which gives you an enormous amount of shade and shelter while you are out camping.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

INSTANT SHELTER <\/a>WHEREVER YOU ARE<\/strong>
Camping gazebos<\/a><\/strong> are the next big thing in the camping<\/strong> <\/a>world, because they offer instant amounts of shelter. The Adventure Kings 4wd gazebos<\/a><\/strong> are available in both a 3x3m and 3x6m size, and we\u2019ve taken the modular concept of our side awnings<\/a><\/strong> and applied it to our gazebos<\/strong> <\/a>too. Not only can you get a brilliant-value gazebo<\/strong> <\/a>from Adventure Kings<\/a> <\/strong>and 4WD Supacentre<\/a><\/strong>, but you can also buy side walls<\/a><\/strong>, mozzie nets<\/a><\/strong> and even fully-enclosed massive 3x3m tents<\/a><\/strong> that let you shelter the entire family! We also offer a game changing gazebo hub<\/a> <\/strong>which gives you a completely separate tent which attaches directly to your Adventure Kings<\/a> <\/strong>gazebo without sacrificing any of that much needed shade and shelter that the gazebo<\/strong> <\/a>offers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SLEEPING BAGS<\/a> \u2013 BUT NOT LIKE YOU KNOW \u2018EM<\/strong>
The Adventure Kings<\/strong> <\/a>Premium Winter\/Summer sleeping bags<\/a><\/strong> are the king of all-weather, super-comfortable sleeping bags<\/a><\/strong>! If you\u2019ve ever shivered through a freezing night in a thin, sub-standard sleeping bag<\/a><\/strong>, then you\u2019ll be blown away by how good these sleeping bags<\/a><\/strong> are. Rated to -5\u00b0C, the best part is you don\u2019t have to ditch them in the summer as there are four individual layers that can be removed to suit warmer camping<\/a><\/strong> 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 sleep no matter what the temperature is!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
