My husband and I have travelled and camped extensively throughout Australia with four wheel drives, off road camper trailers and various types of tents. Our experience shows that a good quality tent will last many years give good service and allow greater vehicle flexibility. Quality off road trailers / campers are very expensive and you have to find storage room between trips.
We were recently in the market for a family sized tent and headed for Freedom Camping. We had purchased most of our gear from them over the years and were very satisfied with their knowledgeable staff and the range of quality products at reasonable prices.
We wanted a tent which was roomy, well made and ventilated, easy and quick to erect, a manageable size when folded, easy to lift and stow, vehicle access via the annexe irrespective of weather conditions and insect and animal free.
The Freedom Wagon Family Tourer was clearly the answer to our needs and we soon set off on another trip to try the new tent. We endured wind and heavy rain in the Flinders Ranges but were comfortable and safe. In Birdsville we baked but the flow through ventilation was marvellous relief. We always carry a selection of tent pegs to cover any eventuality - however, nothing other than a jackhammer could penetrate the ground at the Birdsville camping area! No doubt Freedom Camping will develop a peg that solves this problem!
