How long does it take to set-up?
Well my new Camel Camper Trailer has been towed from Brisbane to Wagga Wagga. Have travelled a few kilometres and taken a few photos. Click on the camel below to check it out.

That zip on fly screen ( Gazebo ) and walls are a great idea.
In the sand I put some ' shade cloth ' on the ground as a ' ground sheet. Lets the sand fall through, feels good under foot and can be swept off.
Camping 5 star !!!!

Looks good Derek,
But where's the space for the camp oven????
I'm with you I like my comfort now when I'm camping, we've got ourselves a little Jayco camper fully decked out, we just hook her up and drive off.
The tent is still used but only places like Blakesleys where there's only boat access.
Does it take long to set up Derek??
Phill, good idea with the shade cloth, we use it too under the tent as well, stops sticks and things putting holes in the floor. It just happens to be big enough to use in the annex too when we take the jayco.
Cheers,
Tony

Guys
It took me an hour to fully set up and take those photos. Thats with a lot of mucking around with camera and tripod and standing back and admiring as I went
The awning, gazebo and annex all just zip on so I reckon I will get it down to 15 to 20 minutes tops after a few more goes. Took just over 10 minutes to pull it down. It's as easy as, even for me on my own. The more difficult part for me was folding the gazebo and annexe up.
I was thinking of the shade cloth for the floor and also under the tent section as well however have also been looking at a rubberised product made especially for caravan annexes. They had it on rolls at BCF when I was up in Brissie. It is similar to shade cloth in that it is all holes and sand and dirt fall through. Tis a little bit more expensive though.
Tony, I can stack around ten camp ovens in the trailer. Pumpkin fruit muffins in quadruple batches. I need more muffin tins.

Uuuuuummmmmmm if you are talking about the one in the drawer its just an ordinary Staysharp carving knife.
I'm definately not a lover of caravans, but something like that near an isolated fishing spot would be great.
I am no expert, but yours looks very practical and worthwhile.
Could definately see that set up for a week at Pancake.

GO THE CRUISER UTES!

Hi Dazza
Yep, midge proof screens all round.
I visited the Albury 4X4 and Camping show today and saw some great campervans, some cheaper and some up to $15,000 more than what I paid. I still reckon for value for money, useability and simplicity as far as camping goes the Camel Camper Trailers are tops.
Nothing wrong with that old fella in the second last photo.
Derek
What about a month.
