The boss has put her foot down and decided that she wants to get a bloody Caravan and not get a camper  >:(

I want the freedom of a camper and a Coota at that and now she is going on about her and the kids want a built in shower and toilet  ???
It didn't worry them when we had the Trak Shak.

How can I convince her to stay with a Camper  :cheers:

At least she wants to get out there. Just buy an Expanda with a shower and dunny and enjoy being out with the family.

Don't be a wimp, just tell her no!  Be a man and show her who rules the house, or camper.  Women, they think they can just walk all over us men.  This is your chance to stand up and set an example for all to follow.  Remember, you are the male, the provider, the hunter and gatherer.  She is the weaker sex. 
But, best to do all this when you are in company. Don't try it on your own. Make sure she is not armed and have a place you can stay at for a few years until she gets over it.  And, don't mention my name.....    ;D  Kevin

Take her to see the camper of your choise and take her out to a nice lunch and say wow this is what we can afford ...... the next day take to see the  top of the line Kedron vans, show her the price tag then the bank balance print out and offer a can of baked beans ,,, DO'NT forget to duck and weave .. ;D

You can get the caravan Kev - start your trip across the dessert on a lonely track and then it will break down - after your run out of water for the shower - you could say , "Well this wouldn't have happened if we had brought the camper ! "

Could you compromise with a "glamper"?

Go out and get a few quotes from different caravan mobs, with the extra's like extra water tank, solar panels, extra batteries, etc, then ask if she wants to drive the thing over dirt tracks and do constant repairs to the cupboards and draws that will fall apart and remind her that the cost of the trip will go up as you need more fuel as the van is larger and heavier to tow and may not go to those lovely seculed places that are tight to get into.

Here's a thought: what's wrong with a "bloody caravan"? It's all a matter of perspective: to the camping person who sleeps in a swag and considers a shower to be a dip in the nearest creek, a CT is overkill. The first 2 comments are spot on: getting into the outdoors is the key, how it's done is not the point. Of course, if she wants something that you can't afford then that's simple maths, but if you can afford it don't rule it out but keep an open mind. Lifestyle campers also do a single axle pop top caravan with most of the fruit that looks quite robust. There are options besides kedron etc

Is it easier to beg for forgiveness than ask for permission?

Yep, I have one.....after having 2 KK's, I'd have to say there are not many places the new "van" won't go......and no canvas !!!

After buying the Aussie Swag, I am now considering a van of sorts. Maybe the Quantum or Trakmaster. A lot easier to just rock up somewhere and pop the kettle in and jump into bed.

G'day kev,
My first thoughts were an Expanda, and D4D was the first post with this suggestion, Hmmm
I'm sure you can mod it to be able drag it anywhere you like.  ;D

As a last resort, do as Speewa suggested, just make sure he is standing between you and Sam when you try this approach  angel:
BTW, good luck with that  ;D
You don't use magic to disappear, all you need is a 4wd & a Swag ;)

We went to a small van after 2 campers. Love it. Makes life much easier and we use it more. Actually 10 times since February this year for short trips so far. As Fugi said, just open the door and walk in, which is what we enjoy for overnight stops. Everyone has their own ideas and it is what works for them. For us there is no going back.  :cheers:
