beware of those telescopic table legs we had one in the new van though different base, we had to have it replaced under warranty as the table wasn't stable. The replacement (different type) is stable but is so bulky you struggle to sit around it, now looking at replacing it with a standard leg.
That 17.56.2 is at least $3k more than the unit price I saw at the dealer this week!

Prices yes well a lot of the time I seen the show special is RRP with what ever they give free.
We did a crap deal now looking back on the 17 although hope we did better on the 22.
@Bushman... bugger was going to go back Sunday and it it fits buy it. I hate the table from the wall our first one pulled out on the wall on the way home with the 17 and 22 does not feel good as well. I like to take it out and put our little bunnings one in there when needed.
Then you can sit back on the seats when no table is needed.
Might get a cost for a tri-fold upgrade first.

Went today and got a few things that we 'needed'.
Was a bit suprised about the prices, a lot seem to have gone up a fair bit.
We did see a Lotus caravan that we liked, but was just shy of 3times the price of the Starcraft, but it was very nice !

So much for the "show bonus pack" , the dealer said to me before we ordered last week that if I waited for the show special the price wouldn't be the same as I negotiated. The old saying that if it sounds too good to be true- it is, seems to be the case here too
You are a true caravan show fanatic.....good on you.
I've vowed to keep away from them as temptation is very expensive.
And the food is awful!

did they have those wood fired pizzas mmmmmmmmm@Dobbie they had dagwood dogshe he maybe that is why I like shows as one food van always sells them.. Never can find them apart from footy/cricket or shows
That's upmarket!
Ours had Dagwood dogs, chips, fish and hamburgers.
And indigestion.

It's not just down south about the prices either the last Van Show in Toowoomba the vans were a bit more expensive and the little stuff like led's etc that I was thinking of buying ended up being dearer than in the shops or same price anyway so I chose to get it in a shop then don't have to lug it around the show.
There was differences in prices of accessories between stalls some next to each other.
Yes I understand the "Last Chance Sale" although price is still more as elsewhere then elsewhere
Got a couple of items to save on shipping and the other smaller ones saves a couple of $2's each
The Annex was a better price then I was quoted for the 17 Starcraft

Hey bud if you dont mind me asking what was the price for the annexe with the porch? I plan on going tomorrow morning to see what I can do on price for our 18.
By the way the price list picture of 18.58.1 OB with less extras than ours is almost $10K dearer than we paid! My in-laws actually had the credit card in the machine to pay a deposit on a Silverline 21.65.3 today when I called and told them to stop until I had made some calls. By the look of all the pics of price lists I will definitely save them some money and earn some brownie points!

Grab all the brownie points you can get and store them up.
Front porch was half price $190 and Annex $2150 as we had AFK already.
Last year was a few hundred more and now 19 vs 15 awning, actually could not find Australia Wide and gone to other Annex places.
What they do as standard everyone else was extras and all the rest $300-$500 more.
They setup a factory in Craigieburn now. So head up there next week.
I will be there again tomorrow with one or two of the kids.. So you can probably catch me near ice cream truck or jumping pillow.
If I am lucky I get to see what I missed on Thursday

Yeah we already have AFK and rafter poles, the awning on the 18.58 is a 14ft so it will be interesting to see what price I can get from them tomorrow.
Is this where they were?
