You can usually get a much better price if you can wait for a show.

Title: Re: CGear matting- where from?
Post by: bobnrob on October 15, 2012, 11:14:58 PM: Show's just around the corner if you can wait.
So as you've now done, have an idea of the price(s), see what price at the show & compare ;)

Post by: Matto on October 16, 2012, 10:57:51 AM: I'm going to splurge on some CGear before our next long camping holiday. I'm just going to go with ebay - any of the links that shrek supplied will do the job (they're all the ones on my watch list anyway!).

We currently use the OzTrail mesh, and while it's good, it's not great. Camped at the beach a fortnight ago, and needed to sweep the sand off it 2 or 3 times a day. Consequently, lot of sand ended up inside the camper. My hope is that the CGear stuff does what it says on the tin, and the sand will fall through. If you're not going beach camping though, the Oztrail stuff is good for normal grassy spots so long as you peg it out tight.

Cheers!
Matto :)

We got ours at the Melbourne 4x4 Show at the 'Trackabout' stand. The small size was $20 of regular price. They also had a tray of sand and various types of shade cloth/ ground mats so that you could actually test them all which made the the sale as far as I was concerned.

Post by: Bookleaf on October 16, 2012, 03:45:43 PM: Shop around (like you are doing here) and know what $$ you can get it for (+postage).
Wait for the show (if you can) and then compare price. If it is cheaper at the show - get it. If not - order it.

We use OZTrail under the tent floor, CGear under foot in the annex. The combination works well.
