    Kings 270 degree awning on a single cab ute

    Has anyone successfully installed a 270 free standing awning on a single cab ute? Mine has ladder racks but they're just slightly too far a part to mount the awning. I'm thinking of getting a bar welded across the racks but I just wanted to hear everyone else's solutions. Tia

    Wheeling, camping, fishing and everything in between!

All that in more in...

    The Murchison-Western Australia

    One for the bucket list (if you are outside WA at the moment) . The Murchison is renowned for Gold Mines but there is plenty to see in this rugged area of WA. Whilst the coastline is packed with WA tourists - there's vast empty areas that will satisfy campers and 4wd drivers! Hope see you out...

    How would you deal with the water problem?

    Whenever we go camping, one thing I'm never satisfied with is water. I'm very sensitive to its taste and smell if it's not of OK quality, and I'm fed up of having tummy problems when we have a relaxing weekend camping just because the water had who knows what in it. But this is camping, it's not...
