Camping, hardware & auto stores

 

Whether you are travelling from house-sit to house-sit, touring in a motorhome or caravan, back-packing, tenting or anything in between, you'll want to know where to pick up any extra outdoor camping, automotive or hardware equipment that you find you just can't do without on the journey.  

 

Remember though that you will have to stash it somewhere so think twice about your purchase.
