My Camping Experience Trev  Kirri invited everyone to do a little storey on how they camp, what we use and favourite places to camp. I thought I would throw a few lines together. I have been camping since I was a kid through Cubs/Scouts and Venturers along with travelling with my ol Dad, I was lucky to grow up in an age where there was no smart phones or computers our fun was made up camping on the Werribee river , Werribee mansion long before it became one of Victoria’s premium tourist spots. I have had many tents big and small I also had 2 Jayco Doves which I loved and would have again over a camper trailer, everyone knows my thoughts on that lol These days until I get to the stage of buying a caravan I use Oztent. I’m on my second Oztent I recently sold my RV4 and gone for the bigger RV5. I love my Oztent for many reasons:  The speed of putting it up – 6 pegs is all that is needed for a basic camp.  The fast set up makes it awesome for the big touring trips like Cape York, Central Australia where you set up and pack up almost daily. Oztent gives me the versatility of being a long term camp with plenty of space and height for great comfort:           Oztent allows me to turn it into a multiroom tent with front walls and front. Easy setup with minimal effort, very quick Plenty of air vents Packs up into a narrow 2 metre pack Allows me to travel anywhere without towing Better Fuel economy Having a separate camp setup allows me to go off on night drives without packing my car. Front awning gives me a kitchen area Fully connects to my Fox wing. Oztent is a fully integrated camping system
