Went today could not do a full day only did around 1/3 of the show. Pretty busy not packed took a while to get in carpark and in through gate. Buy a ticket online all I say.
Eventually saw a Starcraft 17.58-1 in the flesh.. Was a non outback though, they had a 17.58-3 in outback. Have to say looks sweet.
Freebie show package is solar, battery (if non outback), think sunchaser awning wall and annex floor.

Going Tomorrow as we can do a full day.
Go back maybe Saturday as bigger kids want to go not taking the 2 year old twins in a pram will be too mad.

Yes. I will be there. I am going to look at Jayco displays. I might look at getting a Swift Outback. Also planning to look at the smaller Expanda's as well. Plus the others. I also want to look at swags.
Should be there around 11-ish on Saturday.

Monday for me and the bonus is only my daughter wants to come and she is a trooper she just follows around never complains, where as the three boys last about entry into the car park and their brawling. Maddie and I will have fun wife can try and entertain the lads at home.

Yep. Will be there Saturday. Keen on getting lots more brochures to plan our big trip next year. Went last year and enjoyed looking at all the vans. If only.....:greedy_dollars::greedy_dollars:

We're going on Saturday (probably with about held of Melbourne no doubt).
Will hopefully pick up a bargain Honda genset and a few other bits and pieces we still need for the upcoming big trip.

Went yesterday, arrived early only to find long queue waiting to buy tickets. The queue moved fairly quickly though, and we were in for a day of looking. We took our 9 month old in a pram, and was quite easy to move through most areas outside, but did get congested inside the grandstand area. Was heaps to see, lots of new models and different styles across the board, we had a great day!

I went. I saw. I did not buy. There was a lotta vans. Jayco had a HUGE presence. I looked and looked and looked and looked.
Oh, if you saw a skinny bloke, faun pants, blue shirt and grey wind cheater with a Zip in the front, that was me.
I gave the Swift Outback s very serious look. They have changed the suspension on them. I am still thinking whether I will, or whether I wont. But my current thinking is I wont.
I gave camper trailers a very serious look. But really, there just wasn't anything that jumped out and said "buy me".
So, I think I might under sling my axle and stick with what I have. I like my Swift. It's comfortable.

what a tool !!! guess it will be an insurance job perhaps these motorhome drivers should look up more often just like going into servos or under tree branches or make special parking instructions like drive in the centre lane or height restrictions and park in other carparks outside you never know it could be the same guy each year !!!
