Yes...checking out if anyone there will be selling CGear mats.
But I've done my homework on sizes & prices...so will be looking closely at " show specials " to see if they really are what they claim.
And on that note....you peeps with pop top camper trailers..what size mat would you get ?
I am thinking either 1.8m x 2.4m or 3.35m x 2.4m....thinking the 3.3 might be the better size ?

Sorry for sidetracking your post DaveR  :cheers:

I believe complete campsite are launching a new hard floor at the show. I would be interested to hear what people think of it. I wonder how it will be different to what has gone before.

We have to start thinking about what sort of a world we are going to leave for Keith Richards after we are all gone.
