Default Camping gear

Hi

Just a quick question

Why is it that the afl has to put footy on thursday nights too because usually at the grandparents then and they only got one living room as house is over 30 years old

And as you’s know not everyone is yet fully setup for camping and/or having space away from the rest of the household or a part time place of their own and some people might not be fully setup for the only option that’s close enough.

was just wondering what types of tents are ok in winter and is as comfortable and as quick and easy to setup as a van would be just until you get your own.



Also wondering what is the minimum needed to be able to camp in winter in south australia and be able to stay warm in a tent until you get your own van which will take years



can think of following as a start

winter tent (have to buy)

compressor fridge (have a small 15l)

aux battery (in progress of installing, have to save up for the isolators and battery and redarc dcdc)

solar panel (have a 2oow blanket to start off)

tv (have a small 12v one)

antenna and booster

12v led lighting

240v extension cord (to use until am 12v setup and on days where theres no sun just to charge batteries and where theres access to power)

240v power supplies (to run 12v fridge/tv/lighting while using on 240v)

cooking gear (have double hotplate, can probably find toaster and frypan that goes on cooker

heater (may need a special tent heater not sure)

Is all the above ok as a minimum for overnight stays here and there just until you get more gear



for the tent am going to need one that has 2 rooms or more (one for bed and one for kitchen area) and able to keep warm

can think of these

https://www.tentworld.com.au/buy-sal...ast-frame-tent



https://www.tentworld.com.au/buy-sal...block-out-tent



https://www.tentworld.com.au/buy-sal...t-sv5-max-tent



https://www.tentworld.com.au/buy-sal...-tent-charcoal



also is 240v going to be ok in tents if you use the orange power block that tradies use and all is covered especially ones in weather. and at what stage would you turn off the 240v



could you also use a rollout awning with tent attachment and that be ok in rain and winter, how do you setup in rain and whats quickest to setup in rain

Could you use a instant up tent from oztrail oztent rv3 or a fast frame tourer 300 tent and will they stay warm on inside and are they ok for winter

Do they have cord zippers

Would you be better with teardrop camper even if it’s just slide on or slide on camper for now and what could you do until then

What would be better for rain and what is easiest to setup in rain that’s as roomy and comfortable as a van

Would probably do overnight stays in copper coast once in while sometimes for couple nights once am more setup

thanks
