ordering it through work is even cheaper  ;D

but i guess ebay (a province in China?) will win out in the end

Don't forget on Ebay you won't get to see our smiling faces (JT & Me) see everyone at Penrith

If you're after Rhino Rack here's cheaper than any show...

Had planned on going.
Missus arranged the time off so we'd make it a long w/end trip...trouble is, some richard cranium (I won't say me) gave her the wrong date, & we went to sydiney last w/end  ::)  ;D

Work out what you need from the Rhino Rack website, give me a shout and be surprised at the discount (which I can't mention on public forums).

Well I got there this arvo and managed to dodge the rain ;D
Dropped into the Trackabout site and caught up with JC and JT and another gent whose name I have forgotten :-[ :-[
Dropped some cash on some Hillybilly gear on the way out that I should have picked up at Eastern Creek the other week.

Heading there tomorrow, is it worth getting there early to avoid traffic, or is it fairly easy on parking etc?

Title: Re: Penrith Caravan, Camping & Holiday Expo
Post by: torsion on September 09, 2011, 10:53:52 PM
Was their today at 10.00am in the rain for a few hours. The amount of people their at 10.00am on a week day with rain was Shit loads.
Sat and Sun will be chockers mate, no matter what time.

Will take the 4by just in case we have to park on the grass. After the rain it will be muddy. ;D

Great call, I've not had the jeep in 4wd drive mode yet.....fingers crossed as it could do with some dirt :)
Title: Re: Penrith Caravan, Camping & Holiday Expo
Post by: achjimmy on September 10, 2011, 04:28:54 PM
Was there today from about 11 till 2 not bad considering yesterday's rain. With patience you could see everything you wanted. Parking was harder.

Title: Re: Penrith Caravan, Camping & Holiday Expo
Post by: BigJules on September 10, 2011, 04:42:19 PM
It was busy today, parking is easier to get early or late, but come between 10am-2pm and you'll struggle.

We had a look around, not a bad turn out, large range of campers, lots of low end imported stuff from the look of them. I called into the Trackabout stand for a chat and they were so busy I lent a hand for an hour or two.

Was out there from 9am to 1pm. Parking was great at 9. Caught up with CRW & Withy
Title: Great show
Post by: MarkAus on September 10, 2011, 08:51:38 PM
Have to say, really enjoyed walking the Penrith show today. Our first ever! Great to look at the campers and we really liked the Lifestyle extenda camper.

Made a few purchases,rhino roof rack, hillbilly stuff, books, fishing lures :)


May pop back tomorrow for a close look at lifestyle....out of my initial shortlist I'm liking this one. Cost, functionality. My only worry is the weight and will my jeep be able to tow it through soft sand....

Post by: bussoboy on September 10, 2011, 09:32:52 PM
had a quick look around today.........had to take my purchase home & fit it --------- thanks Bushman, they fit a treat

Will have a much more in depth look on Sunday

Went there yesterday to check out Jimbooma Campers, but couldn't find them though they were going to be there.
