About 6 months ago we invested in a fully self contained camper. It essentially is a fibreglass box with a lid, an aluminium frame and a canvas roof. The lid is hinged and opens as seen below.
We’ve been away 4 times now following the coast north and south of Perth.
Most recently we spent 5 days based in Denmark WA, doing day trips in the Hilux.
One of the benefits of the camper is it can be removed from the Ute by attaching 4 legs and raising it up using an electric drill with a socket onto a nut at the top of each leg. Takes about 4 minutes to remove it from the Ute, about 10 minutes to fully pack up including all the camping paraphernalia.
For coffee we do a V60 pour over. Haven’t sorted the grinder situation yet, we take pre ground. So day 1 is quite acceptable, after that it’s ok, still better than 43 beans!
Our longer term plans are to cross the Nullabor and to go into the Kimberley.
When we both retire we will do a lap.
