Nature's Head recommend adding 2.5-3L of water to a full coir peat brick for their composting units.
I've found 2.5L doesn't quite get through the whole brick, but 3L works OK without getting the mix too damp.
I haven't had experience with other units.

When you go camping with the GU only, how do you transport the toilet?
Don't shoot me, I have a LC76, but same problem for both wagons.
I have a hard-shell roof top tent so on top is not really an option
Am considering Mission4x4 racks that bolt to the rear door that provide a platform above the twin wheel carrier

Hmm,
          We honeymooned on a 250cc Kawasaki, cardboard suitcase on the rack and 2 hand sewn canvas panniers.
Went from Melbourne up through the Snowiest for 2 weeks. We had a small hike tent with basic bushwalking gear .
The lilo was pure luxury!

Done that. Two motorbikes, wife's Yamaha Fazer and mine Yamaha Thundercat, through France with tent and all.
Great holiday.

Our local council has gone nuts, installing signs everywhere, stating the country is of the local aboriginal communities, we have three in the Clarence Valley.
God only knows what this is costing, but you would hope the installers would put the bottom panel on the right way up.

You don't use magic to disappear, ya use a 4x4 & Swag.

finally found our camp around 8:30pm.

Try 11.30pm!

After coming off the (running late) Spirit last year, that was the time that we got to our spot at Geelong Showgrounds!

Didn't even unhook, & don't even think we plugged power & water in, just crashed.

And we don't have a steel industry.

...used to...

Really depends on your style of camping, your views on security etc. Time plays a bigger role with everyone's busy life too.

We used tents years ago, then moved to a soft floor camper, then a Jayco Dove and now a Coromal XC poptop. Our camping varies from staying in one place for a week to traveling and moving every 1-2 days.

With the soft floor you always had to set everything up - bed, kitchen, table and anything else you wanted. A pain in the ass when you are moving most days and a lot of time tied up in setting/packing up.

The Coromal is bloody fantastic for us now. For example, we got delayed in our travels in January and pulled up around 8pm when it was dark and we were buggered. We just popped the top and that was it. In bed in a few minutes if needed.
Years ago when we had the soft floor camper we got lost somewhere around Katoomba and finally found our camp around 8:30pm. It was raining so we cooked under a gazebo we found. Didn't stop raining so we just slept in the car and it was crap. Wished for a caravan that night!!!!

I still enjoy boys trips in the swag, got a 3 night-er coming up in a few weeks. Swag on a stretcher under the awning, simple and quick packup while on the 4x4 tracks.

I must admit, the soft floor camper really felt like camping. Having the van takes that feeling away a bit but the van allows us to get away more so it's a win for us.

This should not last long, a great camper for a family and a cracking price. Good luck with the sale
