Went Yesterday (Friday) as I had the day off while it was busy it was comfortable to be able to move around without the usual pushing bumping sorry mate, and you could get to talk to people and look at stuff and being Friday wasn't to many rug rats running all over the place.

We went today and spent a lot more than we planned, but with what I ordered and what I already have coming my ute is almost finished. I also dropped out to Roo Systems shop in Silverwater and spent some more $$

Hi Bussoboy,

We were there this morning and will be back for most of tomorrow. Aside from the KK we didn't spend much today.

we bought a vacuum sealer and all the gear that goes with it, signed up for an ORS drawer system, and spent a few $$ on small bits in the ARB tent.

i looked over that "uber" KK camper...........if i had a spare $130K to waste.....i'ld put one in the garage

Bussoboy,

Yeah, we drooled over the Black Caviar as well. We then saw the TVan Topaz and figure that is more like what we would look at once our KK has done it's time.

Mind you we expect the KK to last us at least 10 years before we look at changing it out.

rusti,

Conrats on the new camper.

Lots of Swaggers purchased CT's this weekend by the sound of it.

Our KK is mid-Nov. We could have had it mid-Oct but decided we would like the extra month to save a little f=more $ for the extra bits.

I looked at them at the Rosehill Show. The design seemed immature to me, I didn't like the external poles to hold the tent out at the rear.
I don't see any advatanges in the way it operates and the price seemed optomistic.

Apart from that I loved it ;).
