It would cost you less than $50 for a tent and air mattress.
I have an electric pump for air mattresses.
Tents these days are so easy to set up too.
So go to Kmart and buy some comfort

Please don't forget to bring that flare for me

Re: Cruise to Bonfire 2014
I've just done an estimated calculation of what the cost of fuel will be for my car to do the round trip and it's going to be around $470, assuming we don't do any extra driving

Re: Cruise to Bonfire 2014
Yea so double your total cost then. And like I said I was using average petrol costs (which for country SA and PULP98 is expensive so factor that into cost) and then average L/100 which for me is like 10.2L/100

Re: Cruise to Bonfire 2014
When I travel to my parents along highway I get 9.4L/km roughly at 110kmh. I'm planning for worst case scenario, if the trip is cheaper then I'm not going to complain

This...
I would do 110 daily on the highway to work in Bobby. Would also do mixed city traffic. Would average out at about 8.5l per 100k... Would get 615k to a tank before I would fill up...
I just had to add it ......

Re: Cruise to Bonfire 2014
We need final numbers for sleeping arrangements for the drive over so I can find and book.
Who is bringing a tent to sleep in on the way?
I will have a 3 man tent and single air mattress, 1 moar single mattress can fit in my tent if needed.

Re: Cruise to Bonfire 2014
I'm bringing a tent myself. Haven't bought it yet, so not sure on what size it'll be but it'll probably be a 3 Asian man size tent. So should be able to fit 2 people
