Talking to Southern Cross Canvas and they weren't going due to the increased costs to exhibitors plus the hassle of getting to and from each day.  I don't have anything specific to buy, although was going to look at Projecta 20w solar panels but I doubt I would get them $55 cheaper than Jet does ém and I'd rather give the money to a swagger.   ;D Mac

Of the fridges, no Waeco, Engel or Bushman.
Was interested to see if Bushman would be there with a show special.  Obviously not...

As to parking, it isn't on-site, but next door, I believe.

I'm going as I'm in the market for a fridge so it's disappointing hearing that Waeco and Engle aren't there. I was hoping Engel or Waeco may have a show special. It's amazing that such a large camping show can't attract two of the bigger players in the fridge market. Do you know if ARB fridges or Evakool are at the show and if you recall there being a special? ARB, Waeco, Evakool and Engel are the brands I'm interested in.

Edit: I just checked the link posted by InMused (thanks) and it looks like ARB is the only one of the four I'm interested in that will be at the show which is a major disappointment so I wont be going. I'll head of to Bayswater tomorrow and go to Anaconda, ARB and BCF and see what deal I can get.

Is Dometic, Waeco??? I see Dometic are at the show.

Thanks the the tip but I'm working Sunday. There's a decent 20% off Waeco sale at Rays at the moment so armed with that I'm sure anaconda will drop another 10%. If I look at ARBs fridges and believe its worth a few extra $$ I'll see if they will negotiate. If not there's always the Easter sales which aren't far away. I'm just disappointed as I thought the camping show would have been flooded with lots of different fridge manufacturer's.

I haven't been to the show, but yes dometic normally includes waeco fridges.

I think you are on the right track anyway with other current offers.

Thanks that's what I thought 20%of waeco plus anaconda doing a further 10% makes it hard to go past them.

That makes more sense.
The weather will now keep me away as there's nothing worse than dragging a wife and 13year old out in the rain.
If I dont get anything today I might pop over to the show on Monday (last day) as I'm not working and perhaps score a last day super special :) For those going today hope the weather improves.

And were did you organise any extras in the price?

Too. Bloody. Big :(

Personally, I think that they're trying their best to make it something you have to attend over two days - but since I'm from the country, no chance of me staying in Melbourne for two days just to go to the caravan show.

Also, to me, it seems as if they're trying to push everything upmarket - LOTS of $70k plus vans, and a lot of expensive camper trailers - admittedly I didn't get to see the whole site, but didn't see much of any of the lower-end campers or caravans. Apologies to exhibitors then if i missed the cheaper areas, but not all of us have grey nomad budgets :(

Hard to park at Flemington racecourse, but there were shuttle buses on, so didn't have to walk miles to the gate :)

A friend of ours just bought a van from a dealer in Geelong who was sending some vans to the show, and the manager there told him they were paying $63-00 per square metre for their site and it was still worth their while to take a stand, so who's taking the piss there

Bendigo & Geelong are same company Prestige. Good to deal with and very competitive

Jayco was a combined site with Prestige, Bayswater and Page Brothers.

Some interesting camper trailers there.

Just wish I was shown a bit better on the map.

Went there yesterday to look at the jayco. I asked a few questions to a sales person there and was asked if I'm going to buy. As I'm not yet ready he walked away. I think it's rude.

Anyway are the prices there firm or there some room to move? If I'll be adding annex and annex walls and end flies. How much would I be expecting? This for eagle outback.

Thanks for that.  I've ended up ordering a Swan Outback from the Tassie dealer now.  Got a reasonable deal  (not great, but still OK) so we decided to just bite the bullet and order,  and now we wait...

Must be the same guy who spoke to us.  My wife was speaking with his previous customer and it helped them decide decide on which model to get.  He then found us and answered the main questions we had before he asked if we were buying.  Not yet, and he was gone. Not even an offer of a business card, would be could.  Who knows, his loss maybe, if we ever make up our mind we would have called him.

Too big.  Too many options.  No way you could realistically see them all in a day

Same here.  Was it the guy around with the Swan's.  He asked us if we were looking to buy/order on the day also.  When we said no he couldn't walk off fast enough.  I actually kept asking him a few questions though and you could see he was trying to step away.

I think it was too big also.  We looked at the accessories and the CT's as well as the Jayco and Goldstream RV's.  Had something to eat and spent 5-6 hours there.  No way would we have been able to look at the caravans also.

Why don't you send a complaint to "Jayco" about this guys behaviour, sounds like he was working for commission, pretty poor attitude  >:(
