How to choose touring and camping gear

Rooftop tents, awnings and fridges make a trip comfortable, but each one puts demands on your roof, your battery or your set-up time. Here's what to check.

  1. Rooftop tents and your roof

    Driving with the tent on uses the roof's dynamic rating; sleeping in it uses the static rating. Check your vehicle maker's limits first (Darche), and use 2 to 4 bars depending on the tent's length (Rhino-Rack).

  2. Awnings and wind

    Use guy ropes whenever the awning is out, don't set it up in wind, never leave it open unattended, and dry it before you store it (Rhino-Rack).

  3. Fridge power

    A fridge's worst-case run time is battery amp-hours divided by its maximum draw; real run time is longer because the compressor cycles. Running it through an inverter doesn't extend battery life (Engel).

  4. Plan around closures

    Many Victorian seasonal tracks close from after the King's Birthday weekend in June to the end of October, and closures can be extended (Parks Victoria).

Choosing the right touring accessories

Start with how you travel. If you camp off the vehicle, an awning is usually the first buy, and it needs somewhere to mount. Rhino-Rack Batwing awnings bolt to roof racks or a platform, so check your crossbar spread and roof load rating before you order. A 270 degree wraparound suits longer stays, while the Batwing Compact is lighter and easier to manage solo.

For ute owners, Aeroklas drawers keep tools and recovery gear secure and stop everything sliding around the tub. Drawer systems are vehicle specific, so confirm your make, model and tub or canopy setup first. A tailgate assist is a cheap upgrade that stops the tailgate slamming down, and it is also model specific.

Dash cams are worth doing properly. The Autobacs range runs from Super HD to 4K with wi-fi and GPS, and a hardwired install keeps cables off your dash and enables parking mode. We hardwire them at the workshop so the fuse tap is done safely and nothing interferes with airbag or ADR wiring.

Common questions

Can my vehicle carry a rooftop tent?

Check two numbers: the dynamic roof rating, which must cover the tent and rack while driving, and the static rating, which must cover the tent and its occupants when parked. Use your vehicle maker's figures (Darche).

How long will my fridge run on a battery?

As a worst case, divide the battery's amp-hours by the fridge's maximum current draw. It will run longer in practice because the compressor cycles on and off (Engel).

Will a fridge work on a slope?

Engel compressor fridges work on up to a 30 degree tilt.

What should I do with the awning in wind?

Don't set it up in wind, use guy ropes when it's out, and never leave it open unattended (Rhino-Rack).

When are Victoria's seasonal tracks open?

Parks Victoria's seasonal road closures generally run from after the King's Birthday weekend in June to the end of October, and can be extended. Check the closure list before you go.
