Have you got your list ready -Melbourne Caravan and Camping Show?
« 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.

Yep .. looking at going on the Tuesday morning.. Experience says the sellers  don't want to take the stuff home.

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

I find that the Brisbane camping shows are a waste of time for good sale prices.... we have been many times (think I would've learnt my lesson by now) and the prices are generally the same as in the local camping store.... But we did pick up a couple of good prices on camper trailers over the years.. only reason to go...

Yep, got a list as long as my arm! Much of it a wish list tho :(  We're going on Monday, want to get there at sparrow's fart cos it will be bloody busy, being a public holiday. I could go on Tuesday, but the wife has to work, and me on my own at a camping show with a credit card equals danger!! ;D ;D ;D
