We went today and I almost knocked myself out head butting a sign. Got home and pass out but feeling better now, other than a bit whoosy.

Heading back tomorrow for some deals.

Mrs loved the AS, so looks like the D it is. Got to thank Scoot for letting us climb all over the CT and giving us a good tour of it.

Is it me or the food at this show was extremely crap. I know it's show food but compared to the RMS it was really bad?

Hamburgers tasted foul, hotdogs just of water. Chips were ok but no Dagwood dogs

Found the fast food vans stock very limited range.

It is not you, it is the worst of all the venues.

[speewa158]

When we go to shows its thermos of coffie , cold block in a cooler bag for the sambo & a packet of biscies to munch . The looks you get when you tuck into something of quality , with flavour sitting at a table full of Deep Fried Crap   

[scarps]

Heading off shortly. See you all there (if you're going).  If anyone wants me to check out prices, leave a post here and I'll do my best to find what you're after.

Actually, this show is better than I remembered (10years ago). Caught up with Dave and Kym from Trackabout and Rod from Customline.
Thnx for the tix Rod. Appreciated.

Best item I saw was the solar powered tent poles. Who'd a thought!

Brickiematt, great to meet you and Di (& daughter)

[speewa158]

Now your home & foot sour ,,  tell of your show conquests & all the bargains you got 

[Ozsnowman]

That is a bloody brilliant idea!

[scarps]

That is a bloody brilliant idea!

for those inquisitive swag'rs, they are real and not a gimmick (well maybe they could be a bit gimmicky), but with the small bar table attachment (big enough for 2 stubbies or 2 wine glasses), and swmbo said it had a phone charger outlet as well (but I didn't see that)

and speewa, all we bought were 2 roast beef rolls and a can of drink.

Oh and I picked up a 100amp and a 50amp circuit breakers for the dual battery set up in the new Nav, wherever it is:-)

Yep, was a good show this year. Lots of research done, no decisions made yet.
Great to finally meet Scarps and Mrs Scarps

yeah, sorry Mrs scarps talks sooo much. I have tried telling her. Lucky I'm such a quiet reserved introverted individual, we kinda compliment each other.

You can tell the owner sellers and people that get paid to sell!

I was talking with one bloke and said that I didn't like the position of the lights, which were at the back of the mattress on their best KK. Being a tall person I could use every inch and asked if they could be moved?

The bloke told me if I don't like the lights, don't buy the CT! So I walked away.

I found the salesman at KK completely useless! Couldn't tell us anything we didn't already know about the campers. He did say several times that he's not full time,  only helps out at shows,  but if you're you're selling a premium product, your salesmen should know their stuff. Disappointing really.
