Any swaggers exhibiting or just heading over to pick up a deal or an idea or two?

Went today thought it was better than last year.  Didn't buy anything but good to look at all the displays.

Did the same, went and had a good look at things.

Surprised as to how heavy the Chinese trailers are, and some of the Aussie ones.

Bad news is that wife wants a Mission trailer now - which is pretty good as its close to my home bjild idea I have...

We only want one that weighs 1500kg max (as that's what the 4Runner can tow) but I think its all doable.

We went for a look. Didn't see anything much different to all the other shows. Had another look at the Kimberly Karavan. Looks like a top unit and would be a great tourer, because of the easy setup and pack up, and built pretty solid. But who could justify the $85,000 base price to $95,000 for the optioned up model. And to be honest, the extra bling for $10,000 wasn't huge. As  I told the bloke, I once bought a 3br house on land for just over half that price, with water views if you stand on the roof.

Didn't see the bloke with the slot together fire pits there this year either, was in halfa mind to buy one. Guess I'll have to build one instead. LOL Actually there was a very thin (@ 1.2mm sheet) staino version for sale, but didn't bother checking the price.
