Glenelg, throw away your iron. Roll up your clothes instead of folding them and you won't need it. Life on the road is very casual, no one is going to notice a few creases.

I must remind you Dave, you are not allowed to "swear" on this forum (eg; work, iron etc)
Mate I can't remember the last time I ironed anything, all wash and wear and definitely not on the road.
Hang them properly after washing and you won't need to iron, let the wind do it for you

You don't need an iron. Roll up your clothes carefully and if you need them a little more formal. just hang them on a hangar and use a spray bottle with water and a few drops of lavender oil. Obviously a light spray.
Then flapping around in the breeze will work wonders.

A good way to have wrinkle free clothes, is buy 2 sizes two small for you, then you won't be worried about wrinkle's when you put them on,,,,,,, stay excited Billeeeeeee
Glenelg, you definitely need an iron. I iron on my table with a towel and a special ironing square. I still iron everything including my t-towels. I know I could possibly be banned for my continual swearing, however that is just me. Out there camping a lot of my clothes are non iron ones. So from the lonely voice of a few, yes to the iron.

Um What's a iron
Ah! I know now. It's that thing you put over a spanner to give extra leverage, I think anyway

There is a 12v iron you can buy also - about $50 - I think I would iron a bit too.

Hi Nelly . thanks for that i didn't know about a 12v iron i will let google have a look . thankyou.
Nelly said

I have seen the 12v iron on the Deals Direct site - don't think it is quite the up market one with shot of steam etc., but probably would do the job if you had a spray bottle.

Now there's something else I've learned... roll up your clothes instead of folding them. How clever!

when I am travelling I have a rule: only iron clothes if going to a funeral. but if you must iron then the table sounds good. less to carry.

I spose if you must have a iron, put it in a deep cupboard with heaps of things to have to move to get to it so it is hard to get too.
Glenelg said

That's why I go nude. Scares everyone away and then I no longer need clothes.
No one wore clothes here 250 years ago.
Well hope I don't have to subject this on anyone here!

Dave, I spent the morning, well a half hour ironing, and what a sense of achievement afterwards. All nice and smooth, and put away. You stick to your guns and join the minority group. We are just that little more exclusive, us ironers.

You want pants,shorts ironed with creases,put them under your mattress and in the morning they are done. Pugs

I do have an iron but no Board,That does not come with me on travel , I never iron clothes un less it is for an important occasion. Jeans, T-shirts etc you fold them neatley and put them under your matress. Next day it looks presentable, and when you wear it the body heat will do the final touch. Good luck, and don't worry, i have never had anybody told me to iron my clothes. Besides you are camping, enjoy your time. Johanna
