You could be forgiven for thinking the Ultimate is the newest and most futuristic camper trailer on the tracks. Truth be told, they have been out on the market for years! The XLPOR offers a fresh new look over the…
Armadilo Campers: Arma- X
Armadillo Campers are a proudly Australian owned company who are even prouder about the fact they manufacture and engineer everything in Australia, too. They offer one trailer, the ARMA-X, which the team at Armadillo tell us has all the bells…
VISTA RV: CROSSOVER XL
To call this product a camper is putting it mildly; the Vista RV Crossover XL is more an off-road caravan than camper trailer. An Australian designed and manufactured product that is packed full of innovative inclusions, the Crossover XL is…
How To Not Get Stuck – Tyre Pressures
It is essential to run your tyres at a low pressure when driving in the sand, as it greatly increases the surface area and grip of the tyre. It does this by spreading the weight of your vehicle over a…
HOW TO GET UN STUCK (WHEN YOU INEVITABLY GET STUCK) – MAXTRAX
I think you’d be nuts to head to Fraser Island without a set or two of MAXTRAX. Even though there’s a fair few friendly four-wheel drivers floating around fabulous, fantastic Fraser, the ability to self recover is absolutely essential. We…
DARCHE COLD MOUNTAIN SLEEPING BAGS
If you hate the idea of being crammed into a tight fitting sleeping bag, the Darche Cold Mountain range has been designed for those who want some extra room while bunking down for the night at camp.
How To Get Unstuck In The Sand: Winching
A winch can be a handy tool if you’re stuck on the beach, provided you have something to winch off of — which isn’t always easy to find. So winching in the sand is more about having a proper winching…

Sure, the venerable Suzuki Sierra is getting a little long in the tooth but they are still so popular with plenty of people for very good reason. They are fun, cheap and capable off-road. So what better way to…
SAX 3SDS LEAF SPRINGS
Leaf springs have been around since the earth was still considered to be flat, and for the most there is no point re-inventing the wheel when you have a proven design. Having said that, there is no shame in making…
FOZZILS SOLO PACK
Packing bowls, cups and plates can be a pain when going camping, and from my own point of view, something I tend to leave till last. If I had the Fozzils Solo Pack though, these flat-pack creations would never leave…
DARCHE AT-6 AIR-VOLUTION TENT
Broken tent poles suck, almost as much as leaving them at home. Which is one of the reasons Darche have brought the Air-Volution range of tents and swags to the mainstream. The AT-6 Air-Volution has one major difference when…
GOTENNA PHONE BOOSTER
If the idea of being without mobile phone reception scares the book-face out of you, then the Gotenna Phone Booster is the best thing since the Selfie Stick. Think of the Gotenna like a CB radio but for your phone,…
PEAK XPLORER 8500 LED DRIVING LIGHT
It’s about time we are seeing some LED driving lights that can actually shine a fair way down the road. But distance isn’t everything, illumination is the key. Which was the design brief when it came time to manufacture the…
PLUG N GO THROTTLE CONTROLLER
Owners of modern turbo-diesel vehicles will no doubt be aware of that familiar feeling, when you put your foot on the accelerator and nothing really happens for a second or two. The Plug N Go throttle controller acts like…
KLAX LUMBERJACK
We love items with multiple purposes; it must be the old Zook owners in us who are used to a life of cramming as much as possible into a tiny space. This is why the Klax rates pretty highly…
