Murray and Vicki Fleming and good friends Dave and Leanne Silvestri enjoy touring and camping in their Bay Window buses, and it was during one trip to Kangaroo Valley that they all decided to get serious about improving the way they stored and transported their camping equipment. The present arrangement had been to place everything on the Kombi bed or cargo floor in plastic tubs and assorted boxes, but this proved awkward when arriving late at night or during inclement weather. Packing and unpacking also infringed on quality weekend time, so it would be nice to simply have the convenience of a 'trailer' like device that could be hooked up and taken away. What both couples needed was a storage solution that would enhance the Kombi camping experience.

    

VW Magazine Australia

VWMA is an Australian owned and published enthusiasts magazine serving both the aircooled and watercooled Volkswagen scene nationally. Published quarterly (Feb, May, Aug, Nov), the magazine is available through newsagents Australia wide or via subscription, and covers every aspect of the hobby, from the very early models through to the latest innovations, motorsport, offroad, kit, custom, books, toys and shows. If it doesn't appear in VWMA then it isn't VW related.

Now in its seventh year, VWMA also hosts two drag racing weekends, sponsors a variety of VW shows, and supports events across the country. Printed and distributed by Australian companies, VWMA is also fortunate to have access to a talented pool of home based VW photojournalists and print/web technicians, who work with VWMA to produce quality VW entertainment each issue. And in 2011, the magazine's website has evolved to encompass the online and portable information revolution with the inclusion of additional media content to enrich the printed reading experience.
