Title: Have you got your list ready -Melbourne Caravan and Camping Show?
Post by: Desert lover on March 03, 2012, 07:21:06 AM: Are you going and have you made your list of items required?
Over the past couple of weeks I have progressively made a list of items I need/would like/dream of...and priced them at various other stores and on line....
We are heading to Caulfield on Thursday 8th March to see if I can better the prices.
Need a new compressor, but also want to look at rear window protection stuff, storage ideas for the Troll as an improvement to what is already there, the latest in camper trailers and also pick up some other bits and pieces.
Hope to see some other 'swaggers' there.

Looking at picking up a 47ltr ARB frdiage and a few other goodies.

But we did pick up a couple of good prices on camper trailers over the years.. only reason to go...
