[cancan]

Thanks all....water, electricity and sullage are the key items that I needed to know and the main items that I dont have with the camper trailer...alcohol can fix the rest

 

[Big Gee]

I don't think you've packed enough beer

 

[macca]

Home brew kit!

 

[Burnsy]

Big Gee, I think you and I would get on real well!

[relgate]

Maybe there needs to be a sub topic/forum for beer?

 

[Klugerclan]

Stubby holder for the beer ?

 

[Newcastle Knight]

As I await the arrival of my Expanda, where the bloody hell is it.....lol I have been trying to work out practical storage methods to save space. Yesterday I got hold of a flat out hose and reel as well as a couple of additional reels for my electrical cords.

 

[Bank of Dad]

Cable ties, Gaffa Tape, WD 40 / RP 7 / CRC, screw drivers, socket set, set of T-Bar Allen Keys, hammer, tent pegs, ramps to level van and maybe if the ground is soft, a block to put under the jockey wheel.

Oh, I forgot the 12 cartons of beer for the boys and the bottle of sherry for the ladies.:mullet:

 

[Burnsy]

Actually I do take 12 cartons with me at our 3 week Chrissy camp....you can always bring them back home if you don't consume but that's rare!

 

[Capt. Gadget]

The 5 B's: Beer, Bourbon, Beanie, Bread & Bacon anything else is just taking up space. :madgrin:

 

[cancan]

I'm thinking the 150l fridge is to small for all that beer.....at least it has a freezer section for the tequila
