The best we've done till now was leaving pillows for 3 kids at home. Got some in the small town of Woodenbong believe it or not.
I also just found I left keys at home for camper.

No hastings st thanks. I'll avoid that as much as I can.I think you will find hastings st and Noosa in general is an an RV friendly place. Dump points everywhere and double length trailer parks in the main st. Lots of taps to fill your tanks in public places. Free camps just next to the beach as long as it is for no more than three nights. Although I could be wrong. .....

HAHAHAHAHA funniest thing I've read all week ;D I remember going for dinner along there not long after we got our new Kluger. The car parks down the end are soooo bloody narrow you could barely open the doors to get out.

always an op shop nearby.Funny enough I love a good country op shop. Daughter packs for herself and always forgets something. We always end up at an op shop buying something. Daughter realises now when I say don't worry what it looks like cos we won't see anyone where we're going that I mean it......

2 have forgotten the tents poles for their tents....
And the winner...
On our Cape York trip a few years ago... One couple bought their son along... Who randomly changed cars between the four vehicles...
After fuelling up in Cooktown, and a comfort stop... We all drove off assuming the young bloke was in "someone else's truck".
We only got as far as the 1st corner, to quickly return and find him locked in the toilets..
Oops.....
If pigs could fly... Imagine how good their wings would taste.

Winter camping, packed the grog (always 1st), tent, food, water, phone rings gets side tracked for a while. Come back to ute, yep got everything, drive 5-6 hours to campsite, bugger forgot my sleeping bag, airbed, pillow, clothes. The grog played a mammoth part in keeping me warm.
What did I learn, Make sure I have 2 reserves of grog

We were going up to O'Reilly's for a few nights when our young bloke was about 6. Finished packing that morning, asked "Got your shoes on?" "Yep", in the car & away. Stopped at Canungra & get out to find that the shoes he's put on, because it was a showery morning, were his plastic gum boots. We were going bushwalking... Detour 30k to Beauie to buy new shoes!

I've left the cooking gear at home, luckily was on a boys weekend, and remembered before we went off road and down river. Grabbed a roll of alfoil from a servo and kept going, had to wrap everything foil and on coal, 1st time having to cook crab on coals, took some working out how long
Just curious ....How long did they take...???? :cheers: :cheers:

Many years ago we did a day trip to the eumundi markets with friends; at about 2pm decided to cut loose - and rather than go back to BNE - decided on impulse to visit the dolphins at Tin Can Bay.....
Arrive Rainbow Beach to stay overnight at the caravan park (in a cabin)... Buy some Tees and shorts, undies, toiletries etc... then off the next morning at approx 5am; back to tin can....
On a high from the spontaneity - we then decide to make a call to work "about Monday".... and then after the dolphins on Sunday .... take that shortcut road through to Maryborough.... and then spend a couple of nights at Kingfisher. ...back to work approx 1pm Tue....

Boating however, on one ocassion I managed to leave the bung out of the boat and launched into water, then in winching it back on the trailer and driving up the ramp I mustn't have clipped over the winch rachet and as I was driving up the concrete ramp (boat half full of water), I watched in the rear view mirror the boat slip backwards off the trailer and land flat onto the ramp. In my panic I then hit the accellerator instead of the brake and drove the car off the side of the concrete ramp onto the rocks on the side. Still laugh about it today. Somehow nothing was damaged apart from my pride, and as it was early morning, there was only one bystander in a state of shock;D

Never screwed up when camping, but there's still time.Hitting the loud pedal instead of the brake is a sign of old age isn't it.

It's always a good laugh sitting at a boat ramp watching others misfortunes, you wouldn't be a boat owner if you hadn't left the bungs out at least once would you?

After a 6 1/h hr trip from Brisbane thanks to the mates massively overloaded camper busting a spring hanger, and us needing to fix side of the road. We made it to camp after dark with me giving him a constant bagging on the ease and benefits of my simple tent without the need of all the excess crap he seemed to be carrying :)
Set up tarp, then pull cabin tent out to find I hadn't packed our tent poles...
Was just lucky my mate kept a heap of extra poles in his massively overloaded camper.

From memory, this around 20 years ago and never did it again as it was easier to boil them, it was just under 10 minutes. Also found out by accident that better to put upside down so the juice stays in the shell when cooking.

Left the bung out.
Fortunately, it was a Stabicraft and even driving it around for 10 minutes didnt see enough water to fill even the small bilge.
Had to go for a swim to put the bung back in.
On another occasion.
Having driven to our chosen camping spot, twice,
Once to tow the trailer and once to tow the boat.
We went to go fishing, we had left the licences and keys at home.
A quick trip to the RMA and we were given a free copy of my licence (Good work guys)
A key was available from the local marine center and we were back on the water.
I now carry photocopies of my licence, fishing licence and other specifics on the boat and several spare keys hidden around the boat and car.
Was not looking forward to driving backwards and forwards again.

Gravity however had other plans, suddenly we started moving backwards toward river lol. I aimed it toward a tree in case I wasn't able to stop it, and yelled for the missus - somehow the two of us managed to stop it hurtling down into the river hehe.
Boy, do I get reminded of that every time we set up now ;D ;D

Unhooked the C/T, handbrake on, jumped in the car to move it and when I got out the C/T was picking up speed heading towards the river.
I had no hope of stopping it so turned it 90 degrees which stopped the runaway trailer.
hell of a way to find out the handbrake doesn't work...
A few more seconds and it would have been over the edge and gone forever...

Anyway. I'm now just about to grab another beer and feel better about my small screw up thanks to reading all these bigger screw up.
