First things first: it’s a common misconception that car camping refers to sleeping in the back of your car. Car camping is, in fact, camping whereby you must drive to the site rather than walk there. Although it can involve sleeping in your car, it usually involves erecting a tent—or setting up your camper trailer. And if you’ve so much as glanced at our website, you’ll know that that is what Cub Campers is all about. Why else do you think we’re always talking about which cars are compatible with what camper trailer?

As any adventurer will tell you, nothing gets the blood pumping like a spontaneous road trip—be it an overnighter or an extended trek across the country. The reality, though, is that you can’t just drop everything on the spur of the moment and go about on your merry way. You’ll need to prepare for even the most last-minute of trips—though it needn’t be a time-consuming task. What you’ll need to bring will depend on a) the duration of your trip, b) the capacity of your RV, and c) your ultimate destination. Regardless of the above, though, all road trips will have the same base necessities. No matter where you’re going, here’s what to take on a road trip.

Do you hail from Perth? If so, we hope you don’t buy into that stereotype of being isolated from the rest of Australia - or from the rest of the world.

What’s the best thing about Sydney? Is it that exhilarating feeling as your train pulls up to Circular Quay? Is it the bizarre realisation that, as you stand on a ferry terminal, aquatic travel is par for the Sydneysider’s course?

Holidays mean different things to different people. Some people love adventurous holidays, and some people relish the chance to put their feet up. Some people embrace winter camping and pack their snow gear at the first sign of a declining temperature. Other people love sun-baking and associate holidays with refreshing waves rolling into sandy, sun-kissed coastlines. They postpone winter camping in favour of the next balmy, tropical evening.

When it comes to camping and adventure, Tasmania has many stones left unturned.
