Making it easy to get off the beaten track WITH solar and battery power capabilities and smarter trailer designs, off road camping is growing in popularity.

Camping Adventures managing director, Graham Pryde said, “Australians are wanting to explore more remote areas and we are seeing a trend in the move from caravans to campers which enable people to get off the beaten track.

“We will be showcasing two of our most popular Australian made Patriot Campers. The X1 Grand Tourer has won Camper Trailer of the Year five years in a row and the Patriot X2 Grand Tourer won 2018 Camper Trailer of the Year in its first year out. What sets these trailers apart

from others is they are small and rugged, designed for easy towing, offering campers the ability to get in touch with nature and explore more of our beautiful country.”

Camping Adventures will be onsite at Shepparton’s Great Outdoor & 4X4 Expo.

Camping Adventures are also suppliers of the popular Australian clothing brand Spika with clothes designed especially to suit farmers and sports hunters.

Common camping mistakes Not researching where you’re going Spontaneity is all well and good when camping, but researching ensures that you give yourselves the best chance of having a good time. This becomes more important if your time is limited for the camping trip. A little bit of homework in the beginning is an important part of your camping trip.

Shivering in your tents at night Wrong bedding is going to make your life miserable and air mattresses in winter can be a campers nightmare! Think carefully about the weather conditions you will be sleeping in, your own body temperature (eg. are you a cold sleeper

Page 18 – The Adviser. Australia No. 1:1420 Wednesday, August 29, 2018

or warm sleeper) and then buy appropriately. Invest in good quality sleeping bags, great self-inflating mattresses, and do away with the blow up mattresses!

Underestimating the importance of lighting Don’t underestimate the importance of being able to see around camp easily. Tripping over ropes, branches and rocks is not fun and you don’t want an injury at the start of your trip.

You can’t have too much lighting. While headlamps and hand held torches are essential, lighting up and entire area will make your night time camping experience so much better, especially when it comes to meal preparations.

TRAVELLING AUSTRALIA IN PURE LUXURY… Some examples of Bailey Victoria’s quality caravans.

Photo: Supplied.

70 years of manufacturing history BAILEY is an industry leader in lightweight caravan technology and will this year celebrate its 70th year of manufacturing in the UK. In 2010 Bailey opened its Australian division and began officially importing UK Bailey caravans into Australia. Four years later, Bailey launched its muchanticipated Australian designed and built range using advanced timber-free construction techniques and processes learned from the UK. Bailey Victoria dealer principal, Gina Stanwell said, “The remarkable thing about Bailey caravans is that they can weigh half a tonne less than other traditionally built Australian caravans of a similar size, meaning they can be

towed by a wide range of small to midsized SUVs and 4WDs. “C o m b i n e d w i t h l a rg e a n d contemporary living areas featuring Bailey’s signature Skyview panoramic windows, high quality fittings and appliances as well as a market leading 10 year water ingress warranty, making Bailey’s real show stopping caravans.”

To c e l e b ra te 70 ye a r s of manufacturing history, Bailey are offering unmissable anniversary show specials on its entire great range of Aussie-built, lightweight Bailey caravans at stand 37 at the Shepparton Great Outdoor and 4x4 Expo August 31-September 2.

The way we drive now reflects the way we live THE CAR FOR YOUR NEXT ADVENTURE… From left, Darryl Twitt Motors marketing manager, Pike Peters and sales consultant, Scott Mutimer with the Land Rover Discovery and Honda CR-V.

WE all seek adventure and freedom in our vehicles and as a result, many of us choose a 4X4 to reflect this lifestyle choice.

So, it should be no surprise that the Land Rover Discovery won the carsales.com.au ‘Car of the Year’ over more conventional vehicles. The Discovery is like a Swiss Army Knife of vehicles – combining capability, flexibility and luxury in an innovative way – including the use of aluminium body construction resulting in a huge weight

saving. High performance 4-cylinder diesels and a revised V6 diesel give the Discovery class leading economy for such a large 4X4.

At the other end of the scale, the Honda CR-V has grown up – with a choice of five or seven seats and all-wheel drive capability.

Darryl Twitt Motors marketing manager, Pike Peters said, “This car is like a Tardis – it swallows tons of gear, offers great seating

options for the adventurous family – but still is city and garage friendly in its dimensions.

“Flexibility and adventure are the order of the day in motoring – be it full sized, and legendarily unstoppable or flexible and city friendly – the 4X4 is now the dominant choice for drivers in Australia.”

Cruise the open water ONE of the best ways to maintain a proper work/life balance is by making sure you spend quality time with friends and family. Switch-off the TV and start reconnecting with those who are most important to you by enjoying a day or weekend on the water together.

There’s something incredibly freeing about cruising on the open water – breathing in the fresh air, feeling the wind in your hair and the ocean beneath. Leave all your worries back on the shore and escape for the day.

One of the biggest misconceptions about boating is that it’s expensive. What most people don’t know is that you can hire a boat for less than what it costs to take a family of four to the

Page 20 – The Adviser. Australia No. 1:1420 Wednesday, August 29, 2018

movies for the afternoon! Otherwise, if you’re looking to make a purchase, there are financing options available. Boating is also easily accessible. Even if you don’t live near the ocean, Australia has many waterways to explore – from bays to rivers to lakes.

No matter what your skill level, there’s a wide array of information available to interested boaters. There are boating and water safety courses everywhere these days including classes for sailing, fishing, scuba diving, snorkelling and even water-skiing. Best of all, boating is fun. All you need to do is remember to stick to the simple safety guidelines and enjoy yourself!
