Wednesday or Thursday, not sure which day at this stage.
Hopefully can get out of it reasonably cheap, but then again with all those shiney new toys calling me......

Cheers Glen

Will be there Thursday, in particular looking at the new camper we have on order, not due till May though, the wait is painful :-[
We will have the chance to check out the actual size of the storage areas so we can get an idea of what may fit in and where.
This will be our last one has to give us 15 years enjoyable traveling.

We are heading there on Wednesday (can't wait anymore!!!) with our shopping list.  Our Swan arrives on the 23rd. Hoping to have our extras so we can install/play before we go away on our maiden voyage.  :D

Got away from the show cheap, well nearly.
Got some recovery points for Dmax and was nearly out when the Mrs stopped at a stall near the exit. $300 later and a thermal cooker under her arm we got out.
I'll have to get even and go buy a Runva.

Cheers Glen

Ended up walking out with a Honda genie (with complimentary trolley  :D), a Baby Q and an Ampfibian.  All in all, I think we got off cheaply  :laugh:

Was seriously amazed at some of the things people are willing to pay for in a camper or caravan. And not impressed by the lack of workmanship in same  :o

I came away feeling pretty good about our van.
Custom job from someone who had only done a handful of them.
The quality of most vans on display, when you look past the shiney stuff, is pretty ordinary I thought.

What are you getting?

Getting an AOR Matrix.

Went yesterday, had a look at various campers for ideas but most are very similar.
Did spend though on a new vast sattelite system to replace the one we sold with our last camper.

Were there for around 4 hours, all in all a good day

If antone heads in can the see if RAC are doing 25% off roadside assistance? I'm sure I got a flyer about it but can't find in anywhere. Savings will cover show entry and lunch  :cup:

Well they did 25% off membership so I saved $75, after entry/lunch/drink I came home effectively with $40 in my pocket and a free show :cheers:
