Yes...checking out if anyone there will be selling CGear mats.
But I've done my homework on sizes & prices...so will be looking closely at " show specials " to see if they really are what they claim.
And on that note....you peeps with pop top camper trailers..what size mat would you get ?
I am thinking either 1.8m x 2.4m or 3.35m x 2.4m....thinking the 3.3 might be the better size ?

Sorry for sidetracking your post DaveR  :cheers:

I believe complete campsite are launching a new hard floor at the show. I would be interested to hear what people think of it. I wonder how it will be different to what has gone before.

Went yesterday, man what's happened to camper trailers, half of them are now the price of what a nice caravan cost not too long ago.

Post by: archer63 on June 12, 2016, 01:10:03 PM
Went Friday...got a few small things like a CGear mat 3.3m x 2.4m for $169.00 at the Camec stand which was an ok price, plastic levelling blocks for $20.00 etc. They also had those Ampfibian's for $230 which was the best price I had seen them in the flesh....until I got home and looked up flea bay...cheapest there around $190.00.
Bought mine from Bunnings a month ago for $268.00....ouch :(

i'm not going to ask what you did to get a price of $352 mate, because when I was there today they told me $400. Not that it mattered, they didn't have any in the size I wanted  anyhow >:(

It was the price on the box when he showed me, I asked for what you wanted and he steered me to that.
Perhaps they are cashing in on folk who think bargains to be had last day?

maybe mate, but they only had 25A ones there in stock, so not what I wanted. Think I'll buy online somewhere now, have given up trying to support locally bought now. Cheers for looking for me the other day anyhow mate.
