    A good light to light your camp site at night minimum 700 lumens, solar panel might be worth a look. Buy a battery box with outlets and put in a 100ah battery ,its cheaper than buying one already done. Good set of knives in a roll up pouch. this is my forte, always have campers coming over to check all our gadgets out. We want for nothing at camp. PM for details. X2 on the camp oven, make sure things have a dual purpose like plastic containers can be used for the dishes etc.

    X2 on the dunny paper on one trip someone forgot theirs, the going price was $1 a sheet, a box or container for everything, then you'll have no loose items,Kids could have their own.

    Love watching the boldging eyes as you walk past the queue in the dunnies, as they stand there not going in because there's no paper. So you walk in with yours under arm, do what you have to, and walk back out with your roll tucked back under your arm.

    I mean after all it has to last me all wekend!

    Get yourself a large Tarp to go over the whole lot.

    I have a 24 ft x 24 ft tarp that goes over both of our tents and has enough room to cover hte Dining area and kitchen. You will need to get quite a few tent poles and guy ropes (I made my own) and dont forget to get "Spreader bars" so you can hold up the middle of the tarp.

    This will not only provide protection for all of your gear from the rain but also from getting damp from dew and provides shade when it is hot.

    I also carry a few small 6ft x 5 ft tarps to put between the tent poles to form wind breaks. Helps to keep the gas burners from going out in the kitchen.

    LED lamps are the go as well. We bought a "Quad lantern" which you can detatch the four sections and use as torches. Great value http://www.budgetcamping.com.au/shop...asp?prodID=559

    Cheers,

    Rob

    Just about to jump into my next Patrol. A 2001 GU II TB45E .

    WARNING!: Do not ever use a towball as a recovery point. They are not rated and can become a deadly projectile during a recovery if they snap off, and they have done so with tragic results in the past.

    And if the 'girls' want a private poop spot when you're miles from a loo the extra tarps come in handy for making a toilet room ....
