Re: Essential Camping Equipment
a lot cheaper that the chalets. Check on gumtree around about now. People bought equipment and used it over Dec and now they need money. Lots of guys camp once and end up selling stuff.

Re: Essential Camping Equipment
You'll pay off the costs in chalets in about 5 years...then the kids are gone!

Alf, if you like comfort, a/c, heating and peace, forget about it

Re: Essential Camping Equipment
The last time we stayed in Balule , it was so bloody noisy , that we decided never to go back there again
Enough is enough

Re: Essential Camping Equipment
Alf, our alien friend
Here is some humble advise from me
If your'e sure about the camping thing like us, start by getting just the essentials like a tent at first(you can upgrade to a caravan later if you guys like the camping thing), chairs, stretchers, table, matressess, ext cords, a fridge(we have a small chest freezer that fits in the double decker trailer) do NOT buy all sorts off gadgets that you will never use we learned the hard way and lost lots of money on nice to haves that we don't use....buy clever
Our kit is just about the same as above and the whole lot including a 3m x 3m dome tent and a 2.1 x 2.1m dome tent with the double decker trailer is worth about R 30000
The trailer: Venter Super 6

Re: Essential Camping Equipment
My calculations today came to R 46500 with basic stuff. Not even all the things. No fancy things.
I will start with a tent, stretchers, sleeping bags, freezer etc and then see what size trailer to buy
