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.

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.

Great show

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....

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