  Well it cost nothing but it is always safer to travel in a group or convoy. I will organise trips to Bangkok and even Chiang Mai. My dream is to lead a convoy to drive from Singapore to London. Just living off our vehicles or 4x4s and sleeping in tents or motels.
  
  More occasionally we will do short weekend trips to Desaru to camp at the beach or the resorts, or malacca for shopping and food. So All like minded adventerous people pls do not hesitate, support this thread!

  Haha...ok actually when i organise trips its ok if people cannot make it. coz theres always a next time also we must abide by simple convoy rules. No speeding, within speed limits and no overtaking each other in the convoy. Why do we travel together? If nothing else just for security. Once you reach malacca for example you can choose to go on your own and just meet up next day to drive together back.
  
  camping trips, i know of many good places for camping in malaysia. Secluded beaches with long streaches of beach. good places to BBQ and just chill out. we will set our campsites within view of each other, so if we need anything we can still help each other. Its a great club...no harm joining.

  Sure, but you have to provide your own camping stuff and share with the petrol and toll charges. Whenever we have an outing i will inform you and set you up with a car who is willing to accomodate a passenger and share cost.

  I frequent a few places in Malaysia,
  Desaru, Batu Pahut, KL, Kampar, Ipoh, Taman Negara. Anything further than that, I would prefer to take coach...

  Coaches are cheap and comfortable way of travelling. However driving yourself is far more fun and convinient way of getting to places. It also allows you the luxury of carrying things that you normally would leave at home
  
  Rule number 1. A good driver always drives safely, and does not cause danger to himself, his fellow drivers or his vehicle.
  
  Bear this rule in mind and i hope you all can enjoy your roadtrips.

  hi circuit your berlingo is a good choice for a camping trip. just turn on your engine, and air con, and u can sleep all the way in the boot. however you might want to call LTA to find out more.
  
  The camping trip i am organising is totally FREE. just bring your own camping stuff, gear and be self sufficient. Once we get to the beach, you just take a camping spot far from each other so we don't crowd up and lets all just enjoy our own part of the ocean. As we are going to be driving on the beach, make sure that your car model is able to sustain this form of driving.
