With the milder weather coming up I think I'll resurrect my original swag {not domed}
invest in a 80cm wide stretcher and sleep on that. I already have two sheep skins in the
Patrol I can use as an mattress. all that would not take up much room. Pyrimad tents are good I've had one years ago
but too bulky IMO if you are packing for two or more.
if it pisses down, the weekends over anyway so Ill come home.
I like what Winnie does as I only want to pack for one, but still need to take other gear
for all to use. like our big tarp and fire grate and fire irons, camp ovens , lights etc.
might even just get a tarp made and tie it to the weather side of the awning

I also was thinking of a light tarp to go down one side and perhaps a bit around the corner for my awning for weather protection. I have the bed set up inside the canopy on the ute so that makes it even easier. Can be in bed if weather is crap in about 30 seconds.
At the end of the day, all you have is yourself and all you need is your friends (and in our case our Patrol)
2006 GUI1 4.2TDi Coil Cab "almost" standard
we love it TD,but like everything they have there uses..we use ours regulary,kids in the rooftop us in the awning..it's not a problem about needing to shift the car if you set up later in the evening when having a couple of quiet ones.we have also got all four of us in it aswell before..
Glad its getting some use bud, wouldve gone to waste if we kept it
