Who is going to the Sydney 4WD Show 26 - 28 Aug at Eastern Creek???

I'll be there Saturday. Plan to walk out with a new Bushman fridge and anything else I need that Mrs Snow will let me have.

Just look for the twit with a big grin wearing a Myswag cap.

I might have to give it a miss this year. Those things always cost me money

I'm hoping to get over for a look around, not sure which day yet.

Variflex · « **Reply #7 on:** August 20, 2011, 12:25:46 PM »

Saturday for me

Friday is the plan,,,,at this stage anyway...

Pete_R · « **Reply #10 on:** August 20, 2011, 10:41:06 PM »

Would prefer Saturday but looks like it will probably be Sunday. At least this show won't cost me as much as the Sydney Caravan & Camping show a few months ago

Went today and it was a great event. Much smaller than the super shows, so don't expect too much. It was about the same as last year's event only this year the highlight was Roothy and the gang from 4WD Action, my Son was beside himself when he saw Milo

Overall, it was ok, especially love nosing around all the campers and getting ideas. As usual, there was nothing much of a bargain (except my free 4WD Action magazine). I was hoping to get some electrical items, but they were dearer than other places so kept on walking.

And good to catch up with some of the club members

We were thinking about it but it's a 3 1/2 hour run for us one way.
May have been a good day out but the wallet would of copped a hiding i'm sure, last time we went to a show "just to look" we came home with a camper trailer might be best for the budget to stay home.

Just got back from there!

Little disappointing actually ... not really sure what I was expecting. Lot's of tents from ARB, Ironman, camper trailers, an Indian 4WD stand, nick-naks ... plus the 4WD track. You can't take your own 4WD around but it is run by guys who donate their trucks and time. We went around in a 3ltr Patrol towing a CT ... effortless! Should really join 4WD club?

Bought a shower tent from Anaconda for half price, really wanted to get a recovery kit (snatch strap etc) but 'twas all too much.

... still, better than sitting around the house.

Now for the Tri Nations ... GO WALLABIES!

This was before it opened this morning

Cheers

Mission accomplished and came home with my Bushman fridge.

Was also looking to pick up a new compressor but the only one that looked the goods was the Bluetongue but it was a little steep $$$ wise on the day. Still hunting for that elusive value for money reliable jobbie.

CRW · « **Reply #18 on:** August 27, 2011, 08:56:18 PM »

Snow, ARB one mate, might be a little more $$$ but won't let you down

LC · « **Reply #19 on:** August 27, 2011, 08:58:07 PM »

We went, had lunch with CRW and family, had a look at the conqueror campers - most impressive!

CRW · « **Reply #20 on:** August 27, 2011, 09:01:51 PM »

Carl, the ARB fridges are good and so are the Engels but I settled on a Bushman. Complete fridge package and a 3 year warranty for a great price. Looking forward to loading it up and heading off in a few weeks.

What can I say Carl, it seems that this Linda person has habit of interfering in these highly important issues? Especially when lots of money is involved!!!!!!!
