Hunter Valley 4WD/Camping/Caravan show this weekend
« on: May 21, 2013, 09:37:36 AM »
The Hunter Valley Camping show is on this weekend: May 24-26. It's at Maitland Showground and is well sign-posted for out-of-towners...just off the New England Highway.

Come along and see the fantabulous, stupendous GT Campers range of Toyota Hiluxes and off-road touring trailers going up and down and around and around a thousand times ;)

This is one of the better shows, I reckon, so come along and say G'day. I'm not sure of my site number... but I'm the feller with GT go-fast stripes and no chequer-plate so I shouldn't be too hard to find  ;D

Heading down on Fri, only 30 min drive for me, I'm in the market for a Soft floor CT, not new though, and see this as a good chance to take the wife along and explore wat sort of likes/dislikes she might have.

Intend on heading up there on Saturday,as it is an excuse for a bit of a drive and a day out and we are looking at our alternatives for a new camper trailer. As Gee Tee says,agree that it is one of the better shows going around.

Unless your in the market for a new camper or large purchase the $15 entry fee is a little too pricey for the small discount you get.
just my opinion

Here is all the info on the Hunter Valley Caravan Camping 4WD Fish & Boat Show 2013

Wiggo, I'll catch you another time then mate ;)

I understand, it would be great if it was free entry like the Penrith Show. I used to think I should be in the show/field day business rather than exhibiting. This one promises to be a great show.

I'm hoping to get over at some stage on the weekend (lots of goodies and miscellaneous stuff to check out before our Simpson trip >:D)

I don't mind paying $15. I don't get out much...it'll be like a treat ;D

I would really appreciate someone having a peek at the Echo4x4 display if they have show pricing for the Kavango. Doing some medium term planning around replacing our Trak Shak.

Thanks

It's a much more authentic experience shopping for camping gear in the rain and mud. Bring it on ;D

Been there, done that in the mud... Na I will be staying away from this show until the organisers sort their Shit out and use a better venue that doesn't get so boggy if I happens to rain. Kudos to anyone who braves the mud and crap...

Cheers,

Matt
