I have never been camping but I would think that camping is like doing things as rough as possible.

Sounds like jasonb is moving house when he goes camping.

Jason you need to get a LARGE tent, now as it happens I am going to sell mine, It has all modern cons, Including a sunken Bath, Flush Toilet, carries a washing machine, has TV and Video, Reverse cycle air conditioning, is fully self contained and Solar Powered, It can tow a trailer with 4WD and Boat, and will still cruise at over 100kph,

this could save you a lot of trouble, Just jump in and go.
