Life is a gift and too short to waste.

We went today and I almost knocked myself out head butting a sign. Got home and pass out but feeling better now, other than a bit whoosy.

Heading back tomorrow for some deals.

Mrs loved the AS, so looks like the D it is. Got to thank Scoot for letting us climb all over the CT and giving us a good tour of it.

Is it me or the food at this show was extremely crap. I know it's show food but compared to the RMS it was really bad?

Hamburgers tasted foul, hotdogs just of water. Chips were ok but no Dagwood dogs :(

Found the fast food vans stock very limited range.

Heading off shortly. See you all there (if you're going).  If anyone wants me to check out prices, leave a post here and I'll do my best to find what you're after.

I went gate 2, they seem to hand them, collect them as you go thru and hand them out again

Actually, this show is better than I remembered (10years ago). Caught up with Dave and Kym from Trackabout and Rod from Customline.
Thnx for the tix Rod. Appreciated.

Best item I saw was the solar powered tent poles. Who'd a thought!

Brickiematt, great to meet you and Di (& daughter)

for those inquisitive swag'rs, they are real and not a gimmick (well maybe they could be a bit gimmicky), but with the small bar table attachment (big enough for 2 stubbies or 2 wine glasses), and swmbo said it had a phone charger outlet as well (but I didn't see that)

http://www.dobleoutdoors.com/about

and speewa, all we bought were 2 roast beef rolls and a can of drink.

Oh and I picked up a 100amp and a 50amp circuit breakers for the dual battery set up in the new Nav, wherever it is:-)

Yep, was a good show this year. Lots of research done, no decisions made yet.
Great to finally meet Scarps and Mrs Scarps ;D

yeah, sorry Mrs scarps talks sooo much. I have tried telling her. Lucky I'm such a quiet reserved introverted individual, we kinda compliment each other.

You can tell the owner sellers and people that get paid to sell!

I was talking with one bloke and said that I didn't like the position of the lights, which were at the back of the mattress on their best KK. Being a tall person I could use every inch and asked if they could be moved?

The bloke told me if I don't like the lights, don't buy the CT! So I walked away.

I found the salesman at KK completely useless! Couldn't tell us anything we didn't already know about the campers. He did say several times that he's not full time,  only helps out at shows,  but if you're you're selling a premium product, your salesmen should know their stuff. Disappointing really.
