Of course there's always the option for you to set up your own stall/stand selling excess poles and spreaders:-)

The gadget man usually comes home with something we don't need. ????

We were looking for a camper trailer for ages so used to go there for that. We own one now but still like to go to get DIY ideas, plus check out the inside stalls and outside area where there's some shops set up. My brother is interested in caravans so we've convinced him this year to go with us.
Lastly, we bought a waeco and solar panel (with accessories) from there last year and reckon we saved around $700-$900 all up. You can definately get a bargain there but you have to know your prices to make sure you're getting a good price. Hubby really likes a certain brand of fishing rod but they were all overpriced compared to what you pay in the shops etc.
Hope that helps.
Cheers.

Don't take your tug to the show as its " Pinchapart " in the car park . Take the Sigma :cheers:agree..
but with the division of the show this year, who ever was at the last one a few weeks ago, quite possibly wont be at this one.. gets extremely expensive to display at these shows.

Grabbed a Rich Solar 120 watt solar panel kit for $199 from the Carac stand. I figured this is a pretty good price given the Aldi panels (at $250) sold out quickly a couple of weeks ago.
$189 off ebay ;D

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.

Hamburgers tasted foul, hotdogs just of water. Chips were ok but no Dagwood dogs :(
Found the fast food vans stock very limited range.
Post by: D4D on October 05, 2014, 07:06:46 AM
Is it me or the food at this show was extremely crap.
It is not you, it is the worst of all the venues.

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:-)

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

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

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.

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

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.
