Who else spent heaps at the caravan shows???

[meandher (a frost)]

Guys, I can trump the lot of you. We went to last year's Caravan Show at Perth. At the time we were very proud owners of a Swan Outback. We had talked about trading up, but not all that seriously. The dragon went for a wee whilst I headed for the Jayco stand, I saw what was then the new 20.63.1OB and had to have it.

In the time it took her to place Priscilla in proximity to the Porcelain, the paperwork for the Expanda was just about all done and dusted. It is a good job we have an understanding.....

We went looking for ideas and came away $60K on the wrong side of the ledger and apart from a litany of a Jayco suspect workmanship am still glad that we did it.

I went to the Sydney show today. Spent money on lunch and an ice cream for the kids. Very controlled. Loved looking through all the Jayco models. Just need ours now. Only days away I think.

I was banned from the C&C shows for a couple of years after buying our 3rd Jayco. We decided to go and have a look around this year as we hadn't been for a little while and Hubby and I fell in love with the Starcraft Outback!! And yes we are now proud owners of a nice new one delivered in Novmeber 2013!!
This must be our last one for quite few years now so looks like we will be staying away.

We went to the Melbourne c&c show and nows there's a present coming in sept .

 

[relgate]

I'm off to the show tomorrow....

 

[gwadir]

We are going on Wednesday.
Better keep away from the Jayco stand coz I miss my Expanda heaps.

I'm going with a friend who is looking at an UEV, Conqueror commander
http://uev.com.au/commander
So hopefully I can help him spend some of his money. That should ease the pain of selling the van!

@relgate see you there, we're going tomorrow as well, we should try and meet up.

Sounds like a plan.
I'll be the one hanging around the Jayco stand...

I'll pm you

I brought a crap load of stuff at the Caulfield show.. Although we did not have the van so needed a crap load of stuff

 

[CrazyMOBB]

I'm off to the show tomorrow....

Be careful. Tempting as it might be.

@relgate did you keep you wallet safely tucked away today or did you crumble under the glitz and glammer of wanting a new
van :flame:

Hi all, I hope you all had a great Easter and Anzac weekend. Regarding Camping shows, am I the only person who objects to paying to go inside to look at products that people are trying to flog off to you? I think it should be free entry then perhaps more would attend. The Geelong camping show was $15 entry per adult (if I remember correctly). I won't be going again, I picked up a shade curtain wall the weekend before at Jayco Geelongs sale for half price, and no entrance fee, nearly bought a Weber B aby Q at jayco sale also!!!

 

[davemc]

Yeah @Dede the Geelong one was not great.. we where over and done in no time. kids liked the rides though.
We where just about to make our mind up on what we buy and went to check some of the smaller places not easy to get to.

 

[Bushman]

Pay to get in! :eek-53:
you mean you people actually shell out $$ to get in....
Cant remember the last time I paid to get in.......

 

[Stan53]

I went to the Caulfield show earlier this year. No, I wasn't even remotely temped. And I looked at a lotta vans. And camper trailers.
Last week I was around at my local Jayco dealer. Nope not in the least bit tempted. Swifty will do for a decade or so.

Our Liesurefest was free in Adelaide but being such a pissant town it got cancelled!!

I may be able to beat that..... I bought my Panda at the Adelaide Caravan show on February 19...BUT I didn't even go to the show.... I had a quote from a previous show so I just called the Salesman and placed Order without going!!! easiest 'sale' he made that week!!

You win! :first: Lunch & an ice-cream at a caravan show would require a second mortgage for sure! Im sure thats where all my money went at the last one :glee:

 

[davemc]

Took older boys yes.. was not cheap ice cream, slushies and chips....
I think we spent more time them eating then looking.
They also raided the RACV etc which had free lollies....suggarrred up before we left

Lol. Very disciplined today. Had a very good look at the starcrafts and also the new age equivalent. Cant compare as thr new age is the best of everything but costs $20k more!

Nothing was signed!

 

[davemc]

@relgate which New Age? If the Mantra Ray Bunk fitted in the backyard I might of spent the cash. Wife would not let me go back as she knew I was getting close to say bugger lets just spend $20k more .
