               WHAT IS YOUR CAMPING SET UP?
               WHAT IS YOUR CAMPING SET UP?

               I   tow   a   Modcon  hybrid   camper,   its   a   great   set   up   for   me.   I   don’t   think   I   need  anymore   to
               add to it than stop and set up. More Driving Less Drama!
               WHAT IS YOUR FAVOURITE BIT OF KIT?
               WHAT IS YOUR FAVOURITE BIT OF KIT?

               My   favourite   bit   of   kit   would   have   to   be   my   iDrive   throttle   controller!   This   thing   is
               incredible,   I   gives   so   much   control!!   Ramp   it   a   bit   for   towing   and   on   the   road.   Ramp   it
               down for offroad for great control when rock crawling.
