As people here know I am a caravan show junkie.. So off to Leisurefest this week. Yes we have a new van so I will try not to look to much
Although need a few things for the new van and sometimes they are cheaper at the show

Anyone going?

Does anyone want any pictures of anything let me know.

Heading Thursday kidless with Sarah, although now eldest wants to come so might go half day Sunday.
only $6 for extra day. Although add to that $10 hotdogs it might get expensive

[davemc]

want me to take some droll over pics @Holden_man.
Brought tickets do Thursday and Sunday now.. Give me time to triple check prices before buying sometimes they are not cheaper.. and Last day they do specials to get rid of stock.

 

[davemc]

will try to. Maybe not good for me as if I want one Sarah will kill me .. normally they have ticketed prices as well..

 

[davemc]

Good luck, ask what they will do for 2.....

you'll get me in trouble.. I already been told you have no reason to look at new vans.. Well no good reason

 

[Bluey]

I don't want to say it but there calling rain on weekend there I said it I would have gone maybe

 

[davemc]

Weather says 30% chance of under 1mm on Sunday.. So it will flood

Mrs Pace came up to me this afternoon while I was hanging new internal doors and said
" l feel like looking at caravans,when can we go"
This could get expensive,but lm thinking once we see the price tags,might all fizzle away. Stay tuned. Pace.

Ok went today was busier then I thought. Got there 10:30 left 5pm. still did not see everything and we skipped a lot of carvan places

Brought a few of the things on the list.
New Aussiewide Annex taking it next week to measure had a deal with a front porch.
Oztent Chair for #2 he grown out of spider man one
Then a few things like toilet tablets as cheap, new chooks, AFK bag and some fluro awning arm straps I wanted.


Not many things new.
No Cosmos @Smergen at On the Move or I did not see it.
A New Manta Ray 22 so a 19 foot with the rear like the big red or our 22 $69k.. a bit too much.

Saw Starcraft 22 OB with fiberglass walls although they did something strange with the TV wires came out side not bottom of cupboard.
Seems all the club lounge vans now have a cool drop down table. Wondering if I can fit it in our 22 Taking tape measure Sunday.
Put some prices up for Jaycos, anything else you want let me know back Sunday

@Holden_man a few pics of the Lotus Freelander and show price $89k oh man
Saw a nice Bushtraker triple bunk $130k very very nice.

Looked at the Isuzu Mux he said there was a long range tank that you do not need to remove the spare so its back on the list.
Again the seats are split on the driver side for the 3rd row

WOW, I'm glad we got our van last year, these ones seem to be about $10,000 dearer.

Yes I think they have a lot of overheads that add a lot to the "show" specials. Get a better deal from the dealers who aren't there.
