Hi.
Just wondering if anybody went to the show today and if they had any good deals on fridges?
Dave
Was present. Heaps of deals happening. Best thing to do is look around then shop the lowest price at multiple dealers. I got a bargain on Korr Lighting kits
Okay
Just back from show with an Engel Eclipse with fridge bag for $700.00 and also a 3.5t McHitch for the outback. Now, ...............just got to tell the wife!!!!!!!!

$350.00 for the new automatic trailer coupler 3.5t, which includes handbrake. One of my best mates is Dave Gall from the "Gall Boys" fame and Kedron Caravans. They swear by them and are on all their new vans. I have researched also a lot and they are the best fit for my set up in my opinion.

Apologies mate I didn't see your email. I must say that the more I saw of the 3 tonne vans costing around 100K the more better looking the 2014 Jayco Outbacks at 1700kgs looked. I realise that you are not going to do the OTT in a Jayco but seriously what percentage of people's travels are taken up by this sort of trip??????? For 43k, an Outback Expanda with beds at either end, bunks and the large fridge and new suspension is great value in my opinions
Is parking at the showground an option if I get there early enough, or is there a pickup area?
I need to pick up a couple of things that will be to big/heavy to carry?

Renno :cheers:

Has anyone sussed out the Mirage in shed 13 yet?
We went yesterday but didn't pay much attention to the caravans or campers... Bought an annex, jack and generator.. Don't expect real savings on small camping accessories....

Yep, and I was suitably impressed. I'd put them at the pointy end of the field for quality and innovation.
They were a pretty impressive looking unit. There were 2 there, one folded and one set up.

Did you see any written praise from previous buyers on display by way of posters/ads/references to productreview etc?

Ok had a look at it and all I can say its one hell of a Camper If you could call it that built like a tank I could not imagine anywhere you could not take it even the wife was impressed guess I would call it the jayco base station of the camper world bloody huge and could block out the sun and the base version at 30k I think its a steel love the idea of the shower area before you walk up the steps in the bottom part with a inbuilt water tray.
The only thing stopping me putting an order in is we are thinking of a 2nd hand Swan or Goldstream to start with, one day just maybe one day we will get a Mirage.
If your looking for what I would call a
serious hard floor camper do yourself a favour and go have a look.

Hi Renno,
Did you pick up your new camper after the show?
How is it going?
Quote from: wilson79 on June 06, 2014, 07:36:44 AM

Hi Reno, do you have any pics of your new camper as yet? I am really keen to see or hear from a real life owners of one of these.. As I am always looking on their Facebook page but all the "owners" appear to be fake even posting pictures for their trip reports that have been ripped from google Images..
Hi mate, ran out of time, will pick it up on way back from cape trip. Will let you know.
Renno :cheers:
Actuly saw one in the flesh this afternoon... Nice shiny black one hooked up behind a factory tug at Burpengary southbound BP service center .. So some ones getting a nice new toy ..
