Just one more thing to get before the trip to Lake Eyre ... a rear wheel bag/bin.
For this trip it'll be used to carry rubbish ... what's the best value for money bag? Where can I get it and what features should I be looking for?
Thanks in advance ... 18 sleeps to go ;D
G'day Disco Emu,
We have an 'Infront Camping' rear bag. It is excellent quality and sits on the spare tyre without sliding down like some rear bags do.
They have a 10% discount sale on all products at the moment.
Just quote 'issac' at the online checkout to get the discount.

Bugger!!!!!!
I just bought a spare wheel bag from infront.
It's at home and I will check it out once I get back from work.
Cheers Brian
DANBRI makes an excellent rear wheel bag, give him a PM.

x 2 - excellent quality product
And we have an MSA which works well. You can get them from ARB, but mine came as "freebie" with a magazine subscription. Ours has a hole in the bottom to let it drain if anything wet goes in it.
Same, same......Quality product but you don't need the best to hold rubbish.....hehehe

WE have one of their bags & no problems so far.

Bushranger, good fit and adjustable straps. I have had mine 2 1/2 years. It would spend more time on the GU then off it. I have never even had a zip problem either.
Easy to clean too.

few options

We have the Bush Ranger as well. After 4 years and with the intense heat up here the stitching is starting to fray but apart from that it's been a treat. Certainly carried it's fair share of cans.

Any pics? I went to Supercheap today and they have them on order.
I've been waiting on super crap bin bags for about 7 or 8 weeks. There on there web site but not in there shops. Been promised a phone call as soon as they become available, from two differant shops. Still waiting.
I saw the stock screen and there are 690 in the distribution centre so they shouldn't be too far away.

Lets all hold hands and our breath...
They were listed before they had hit OZ, probably still not here yet. Seems most store's know sweet FA.
Picked up the Bushranger today from ARB. Now I've got somewhere to throw the empties, and there will be plenty of them :cheers:
;D
BD did they have a king size one ?, for you ? ;D

Picked up the bag today. Apart from the ghey orange ribbon they are pretty good value for less than $40, compared to the MSA etc that are $100+.
(http://blkmav.com/prado/gbag.jpg)
Now minus ghey orange ribbon
Which super crap ?
I've been waiting for that long i almost gave up on them coming good.
Boganville Thomastown, they only had one
Just remeber not to stack the empty wine bottles in them, the broken glass after 100's of kays of corrugations is not all that easy to get out.
:cheers: Cracka
I was told they may be few and far between, that's why I've been two stores wait to contact me. AND NOTHING YET, you roll up and get the only one in know existence :-[ feeling a little piff'd.
Try a bit of thinners to get the print off. The vinyl will survive if it's a certain type, but I can't tell which one it is so fingers crossed ;D

As I mentioned the other day there are 690 in their distribution centre.
You can order online, only costs $10 to deliver?

I might try that but I am thinking for $40 it probably isn't going to last too long with the UV.
I found the wind (and heat on the rear of a 4wd) kills the vinyl really quickly, dries it out and cracks, then deteriorates.
It has a 12 month warranty, so I'll see how good it is. If nothing else it is a good template for a canvas version ;D
12 months warranty is awesome! And a template is even awesomer 8)
Forgot to mention, it has a zip at the bottom. I guess that is to drop your rubbish out. It probably sounded like a good idea at the time.

x3 and 4 (one for mate) maybe even a few for the club and raffles :):):) But wouldnt expect $50 to be a going price.
Cheaper than $50? That doesn't sound right Lost.. >:D
My SCA bag has lasted years so far, cheap as chips and it does the job.
FYI Supercheap Auto have free freight this weekend online, stock up on your storage bags!
Finally got a phone call from one of the stores this afternoon, so should have one in custody tomorrow 8)

How long was the wait Deano?
http://www.infrontcampinggear.com.au/prod88.htm (http://www.infrontcampinggear.com.au/prod88.htm) with 30% off... not bad
looks like a good buy Bruce, should be more with the camo material!

Got this for $3000, it came with free draws, cargo barrier & seat covers.
Regards Adam
we also have the black widow one but downside is...
difficult to mount on the patrol rear wheel with the silly rubber strap they supplied, so we made up a canvas strap with clips, much easier.
difficult to clean the inside, the flap is a funny shape.
difficult to fold up and store when not in use.
Next time would go for the more boxy type, bushranger for example.

We are in the process of making a canvass one right at this moment! Had some canvass in the garage and some time on our hands so here goes. The "construction" has the wheel shaped thingo at the top and a strap will run from that around the tyre to ensure it is held down. The bag is stitched to that. It is 60cm wide, 52 cm deep and 21cm width. Is perhaps a little bit wide but what the heck will hold lots of things - empty cans and alike... Further straps to secure will be attached as the production continues.
Will post photos as soon as I can work it out...techno challenged plus!

what are you going to line it with to stop all the fluids soaking into it making it smell like a labourers armpit in summer?
Heavy, Heavy duty plastic bag inside (just happen to have one in the garage)...then garbage into own plastic bags. Will also give it a coat of water proofing agent that we have used on caravan annex in the past (ditched the van for a camper!). Then we'll see how it goes.
