Tips for Buying Camping Gear In-Store

  • 1. Check online stock first. Most major retailers show stock levels on their websites — save yourself a wasted trip by confirming the model you want is in-store before you go.
  • 2. Join loyalty programs. BCF Club, Supercheap Auto Club Plus, and Anaconda's Adventure Club all offer member-only pricing that can save 10-20% on full-price items.
  • 3. Ask about price matching. Most big retailers will match a competitor's advertised price — bring a screenshot on your phone.
  • 4. Visit specialist shops for installs. ARB and other 4WD specialists can install fridge slides, wire in compressors, and set up dual-battery systems — worth paying for if you want it done right.
  • 5. Time your purchase. End-of-financial-year (June) and Boxing Day sales typically offer the deepest discounts on camping gear across all retailers.
