Summer is over but camping season has just begun, we are going to go over the top 5 campsite upgrades to getting the most out of your setup and looking like a pro at camp this autumn!

The best gear isn’t determined by the price tag, but more by what you need it to do and whether or not it does that job easily. Autumn is an awesome time of year to get out and camp, and if done right you will be happy that summer is over, the only setback can be the unpredictable weather but if you are prepared it absolutely will not ruin your time away!

1. Shelter

This one is easy, as you can get shelter from nearly anywhere, from hardware stores to the dozens of camping retailers, however there are a few key features to look out for. The first feature you want to look at with your new shelter is whether or not it is actually waterproof, we’ve seen on cheap tents ‘not for use in wet weather’ this instruction on the label doesn’t inspire confidence. So we made sure that all of the shelters available at 4WD Supacentre offer the best in waterproofing and UPF50+ solar protection.

The Adventure Kings Awning and the Adventure Kings Gazebo are both skinned by 100% waterproof fabric, with the awning utilizing a stretch resistant and tear proof 170GSM ripstop fabric and anodized poles. Whilst the Gazebo canopy is slung over a high peaked puddle resistant steel frame and wears a heavy duty 400D oxford weave polyurethane coated polyester!

The build quality is hard to beat and so are the prices, with an unreal 12 month warranty Adventure Kings has you covered for shelter no matter where you choose to camp!

2. Camp flooring

The reasons you get away camping are to get more in touch with the elements, but the romance of this is ruined when you are literally sleeping with half the beach worth of sand in your sleeping bag. There is a solution to keeping your campsite and bedding clean, and it is much simpler than you thought.

By adding one of the 3 sizes of Adventure Kings Mesh Floors to your campsite you can take advantage of the cleverly woven mesh, gravity allows sand water and dirt to fall through whilst preventing the debris from rising back up, this means the kiddos will no longer be dragging sand through your campsite  bedding and vehicle, this is perfect for sandy adventures through the desert or beach/island camping when visiting your favorite coastal breaks.
An Adventure Kings mesh floor certainly makes a massive difference to your autumn campsite!
 

3. Awning side wall

What if we told you that you could nearly double the usable sheltered space at your camp for less than the price of a fancy 6 pack of imported beer. Well you can easily, with the help of an Adventure Kings Awning side wall, fitted with Velcro fasteners to be able to be attached to the horizontal crossbars of an Adventure Kings Awning, the Awning side wall is also compatible with many other makes and models of Awning.

You can also fasten the awning side wall to your awning using the sail track along the outside edge of the molded aluminium crossbar, this allows you the potential of adding up to 3 awning side walls to you Adventure Kings awning offering stacks of usable space and shelter from wind and windblown rain through your protected area.
 

4. LED Lighting

With the usable daylight hours getting shorter, the usefulness of campsite lighting is becoming more and more relevant to weekend escape artists. With a stack of options on the table the Adventure Kings range of LED Campsite lighting is one of the best options for just about anyone setting up camp around Australia.

Starting from the simple battery-operated LED headtorch, the range extends all the way to a fully customizable setup that uses multiple dimmer switches and is even expandable with other kits within the range.

5. Solar panels

The last addition that should accompany any campsite year round is a good quality high output 12v solar panel. With the added draw of 12v lighting at your campsite a 12v solar panel will help top up your batteries to make sure all of your 12v accessories including your 12v fridge stay running until you are ready to get moving.

Adventure Kings offers anything from 10W usb charging personal solar panel all the way up to a massive 250W solar panel system, and even a folding 120w solar blanket for maximum portability and ease of use no matter what size car you drive.

With all of these affordable campsite upgrades on offer its hard to look past the incredible value offered by Adventure Kings camping gear. With the ability to make camping comfortable for the whole family no matter where you end up!
