Showroom stock advice

My portable fireplace....

The stuff people actually use would be a good start.

Chocks and levels, spirit levels, power cords and amphibians, gas bottle stuff, peg removers, heavy duty pegs, those surprisingly useful little knobs that go on top of poles to keep them in place, extra poles, annex matting, those little folding stools/steps, BEST water filters, and some water connections bits and pieces, hose bags, plastic drawers/boxes that fit perfectly in your brand of camper, cgear matting or tarps for under the camper.

Leave the chairs and tables to Rays etc as they take up too much space in the showroom and too many $ invested. Tell people who has the best prices locally, and you'll appear more honest.

this was pretty much my thinking also, Redcherokee must have read my mind...lol.
Only other thing i'd add is spares for the trailer itself, like having the correct wheel bearings there and maybe a jockey wheel that suits the trailer for when someone wrecks there's.
as said already, smaller priced items that people will buy on impulse, rather then big ticket items that they'd go home and start researching prices for.

The wife got the Aldi silicone collapsible one the other day $10... Apparently K-Mart have them too for $10 as an everyday stock item ..

Dish draining rack? If so small size?

Dish draining rack? If so small size?

31.5 W X 36.8 L X 5 cm collapsed and 13 cm High expanded   [ Easy home brand # 50434]
If you didnt want the tub section you could always cut it away and just use the drainer tray section [ 24.5 cm W x 30 cm L ].

Ive been working on a product for the last 12 months, no one has come up with the solution to date. I can't come up with the solution yet (one size fits all). But if I do, it will be the second patterned product of mine and i will be retired within 12 months...............I'm 47 years of age.

what was the first one?

Also good electrical bits and pieces as said and maybe some open sunday hours cause when your working on your projects and you run out of something on a sun and your trip starts tues no online stuff would get to you on time.

A  latex or soft silicone insert should fix that with inflatable sleeves for added grip .. Glow in the dark or fitted with a small button battery for flashing LED in the extension ...comes in a variety of colors and ..... What !!!  no hang on think someone in china  already beat you to it ..

A suggestion, top quality no B Shit service, maybe rather than having a huge amount of stock, a wide range of catalogues for people to choose from. Get the stuff in on time and fitted correctly.
I know my local mechanic will get stuff in, his prices are the same or sometimes a bit higher/lower that what I would get them for, but the service/knowledge is always top notch, that's why I always go back. 

just my 2c worth

Best wishes with the new venture

The Evolution Mod-Con Club..

Club discounts, Club weekends away, social events... all arranged by the Evolution Mod Con Club etc..

Marketing ideas like that do good things...

Unsure about not having stock, many people will take that chance to find online..

The first one is within the soft window furnishing industry, a safety product for government housing. We have only gone state and yet to go national.
The second product is to do with 4wd's. I'm tight lipped about it as you can appreciate, there is no one size fits all product on the market to combat this problem.

Keep stock of things that will not go outdated.
Level bubble, Keyed aliked padlocks, wheels chocks, security for hitch or things that will protect their investment. Maybe touch up paint.

Well done Cruiser...  the 2 words that should guarantee you a gravy-train of milk & honey for the rest of your life

Leveling ramps got mentioned earlier - how about splitting packets & selling them individually, rather than in packs of 2? After all, you usually don't have to level both sides of the CT ... 

[tedota]

Collapsible bins so people can take their crap with them. Got 1 in the garage and 1 in camper. worth every cent.

As a side to what you want to do with stocking these accessories, don't underestimate the power of colour co-ordination for spontaneous purchases.

If you can stock a product that will somewhat colour match to the camper your selling I reckon you are more likely to make a sale then and there.

I'm really am not that way inclined at all (seriously not even remotely ocd) , but my shower/toilet tent, ropes, colapsible bucket, hotwater system 15a lead etc were all spontaneous buys cause they were a similar colour to the camper

I have so little willpower . If only they made 6b&s in blue and white
