Title: Anyone going the Wide Bay Camping Show at Maryborough this week-end?
Post by: Jeepers Creepers on August 16, 2012, 02:55:47 PM: We''ll be looking for a bargain on the few things we need.

I've checked on the net what things are priced at around the place, so that way i know if i'm getting a bargain on the stuff we still want.

If it is like the Toowoomba one there were heaps of caravans and camper trailers and it was a great chance to compare. There were quite a few that appeared to be targeting the off road caravan market, but on closer inspection I am not sure how they would last.
Also lots of stalls selling all kinds of camping gear as well as electrical and solar stalls. (Although I was put off at one stall by the attitude of a female sales person when I asked a simple question about a 12 volt shower. I was nearly going to complain to someone in charge, but knew that would be a waste of time, so I just walked off determined not to buy from that shop.)
My brother in law is coming from Mundubbera to check out the caravans, so I will be roasting a nice leg of lamb in the Weber tonight! :cheers:
Have fun at the show, should be fantastic weather.

Post by: Jeepers Creepers on August 18, 2012, 04:56:16 PM: We bought an Aquacube hot water thingy for $250, which i felt was pretty good.

I spent $395.00 all up, but a couple of things, they didn't have, so could've spent more.
