Heres The Thread!

I have an 82 (aircooled) camper with a similar awning. It came from Fiama (that's a brand name) and available from many of the caravan suppliers. It rolls into a housing on the side of the van.

There's no doubt about it, kombis make awesome campers, even if they're not a camper! :thumb Not only can they carry a heap of gear, but they also go nearly anywhere...

Daisy The Pics look a lot like they are on the east Coast, Maybe Coles Bay?

And a picture of the van with the awning at Lake Purbury in Tasmania. I spent a month down there two years ago. What an awesome way to go. Still camping heaps.

Daisy looks like the Gardens area at Bay of Fires from the stuff on the ground, but not sure about the fire places. volma1

You guys and your kombis are making me jealous...

Hmmm, camping is a real holiday...the pics are great

Daisy the beach looks beautiful...

Mt William NP has white sand...but it seems to go right down along there...it's so nice

Volksfolks give us a 2u2 or whate er they are tell us more pls .....
kombi dad that's true that's how we put the awning up but i didn't realise where it came from so thanks for that ....
kriuzinkombi .. that's so true . and camping jsut the best...... you look like u have a good setup too.. Ristbucket68.. we were camping at stumpy'sbay ..... right up the top of the east coast ....
Greg do u know stumpy's bay ?? we go there a bit .... oh and kombi dad your camper looked great too i haven't heard of that place tho .... but that's normal for me.. har har .. jenz58 ... thanks .. we liek too go other places . but most times seems to go back too stumpy's it nice quiet and great fishing ......

love those hubcaps, that makes 3 of us with them, they never fall off

Yep Daisy, I like my setup, mainly because its flexible. Mine is just a standard kombi with 9 seats, but the seats go in or out in about 15 minutes. I'd love to have a camper, but I need the seats and the roofrack for carting Scouts and equipment around.

I would like to fit a roll-out awning on the left side of the roofrack, if not both, but in the meantime, the roofrack makes a great mount to tie a tarp to.

Rick (Manx020) from Mackay has a nice setup, with a channel that mounts to his roofbars. The tarp with the rope sewn into the edge then slides into the channel and is supported along the other edges by some adjustable poles for about $10 each. )See photo) :thumb If I can't find a suitably cheap roll-out awning, I might use his idea instead.

As for the hubcaps, they can't be beat. $20 for a set of four. I bought 2 sets, so now my front-mounted spare wears one, and my spare in the back sports another two, which makes a great place to store my jumper leads, tyre compressor, wheel brace and some rags, while looking good at the same time.

Ps. Rick, U2U me your address so I can send you a cd of photos....
