I did a one month camping trip earlier this year w my lwb Landcruiser. Frankly you tire of getting everything out very quickly.

I'm now contemplating a dedicated, short single axle trailer to carry the gear in. Some I've seen even pop their tent on top of that. To buy retail they're $12k plus, but I reckon I could be set up with a dedicated unit for well under $2k if I diy.

One minimum standard we subsequently agreed on was a minimum stay of two nights where ever. Stopping, setting up then hitting the road again next day becomes very very tiresome v quickly. It was this that prompted me to consider the convenience of a camping trailer.

I don't mean a pop top either btw

A camping trailer is something I've been thinking of putting together. Even something just big enough to sleep in, but preferred as just cargo/cooking/kayaka. Can leave behind for day excursions along with tent that takes 5 mins to put up.
