Whether you’re planning an excursion on home soil or travelling a little further afield, being prepared with exactly the right supplies and equipment is rule number one, especially if you want the freedom to pitch up anywhere. While roof tents and awnings are all great to have, it is important to remember that the most useful camping accessories don’t always come in huge packages…
There are several smaller camping essentials and extras that should be on your hit list when enjoying an adventure or two this summer. Read on to discover the grab-and-go supplies every camper or off-roader needs in their life.
The swag tent
The swag tent is a national treasure in its native Australia and the ideal companion if you are a fan of wild camping or off-roading. Unlike other ground tent designs, the swag tent focuses on convenience to strike the perfect balance between its compact size and comfort.
While our ARB swag tent range provides a double SkyDome design to accommodate two people, most are made with the individual in mind. You’ll also find a mini swag tent to store your boots and other supplies!
The portable fridge freezer
To be truly self-sufficient when travelling on the road or off, you’ll need a way of keeping those food and drink supplies cool and fresh. That’s where our range of ARB and Dometic fridges come in!
As two brands well known and much loved for their 4WD accessories, ARB and Dometic set the benchmark for portable refrigeration. Expect features like two-way Bluetooth capability, low draw variable speed compression, thermoelectric technology and rapid refrigeration to help you cool on the go.
The lithium power pack
Having the backup of an additional power supply will also give you peace of mind and the means to enjoy a truly off-grid adventure. As a rule of thumb, lithium power packs always come out on top. Here Mortons on the Move explains why:
“Another reason to consider making the switch is their faster charging capabilities and lack of long absorption charges. Because lithium batteries can accept more power, they can charge twice as fast as lead-acid versions. They also can start and stop charging at any time without damage. Partial charges will damage lead acid. This makes it much easier to use solar panels or alternative energy sources for charging.”
Offering up to 53 hours of 12v power from a single charge, our Dometic lithium power pack is a reliable source for running fridge freezers, charging phones, and operating 4×4 solar panels. It also lasts up to five times longer than more commonly-used lead acid batteries.
The clever storage solutions
Our Navigator range is jammed full of handy grab and go accessories that are made for staying organised when camping or off-roading.
From clever storage essentials designed to keep everything from your trash and laundry to your wine collection in check, to their signature Awning Buddy, which provides hanging storage options that fit into the sail tracks of most caravan and 4WD awnings, Navigator branded products are camping and outdoor accessories that you shouldn’t be without!
