Hi all
well I have seen what I probably will buy and what I will dream about that I could buy with a tattslotto win.. I like the size of the Sunliner Vista with a shower/toilet and a bed made up all the time with a table behind the driver's ( which turns around) and another seat, cooker, sink, microwave down the passenger side. I will look for used model but ones I have looked at have over 100,000kms so not sure which way to go, but the fun is in the looking.

My brother has an off road Tvan and he was looking for stuff so we walked the whole show twice checking prices for him then going back to buy.

Great day was had by all!!!!!!!!

I love the caravan and camping show. Unfortunately I can't make it this year. I'm on my way to a festival tomorrow and won't get back in time. So glad you have found what you are after. there is so much "come in handy stuff" there isn't there? Sweet dreams..

Hi Judy, You are on the right track. You just keep looking, getting ideas, advice and eventually the right one comes along.

I was really looking forward to going to the show today. Apart from looking at what is new and innovative, was intending to catch up with a Qld friend/former employer who is manning a destination display. But the ankle that was operated on 5 weeks ago is now infected and - yet again - I am going nowhere for a while.
Hope to see lots of posts about the show, so at least I can enjoy it vicariously.

There is a voucher in the latest Royalauto  (RACV mag) which gives you 2 for 1 entry for today (too late) or Tuesday.  We are going on Tuesday.  They say that there are a lot of specials on the last day so we will see.

After going to the Adelaide show as well, we will be all showed out.!!!

Went yesterday - only took a few minutes to park and not far from entrance - hugely different to last year (hour and a half to park and miles away from entrance). 

When I arrived I thought coffee would be good and I could sit and think about which way to go first. 

You guessed it - lost most of the coffee down the front of me (white T shirt too!!).  Should have worn a black top and it wouldn't have happened or if it did wouldn't be able to tell.  Had to go and buy another top - the closest place was the Award store and I bought one of those grey nomad T shirts - "another happy grey nomad - on the road again".  Could have been worse I supposebiggrinbiggrin

Found the place to make a new mattress for my van when renos are finished.  Heaven!!!  Won't want to get out of bedbiggrin

We went on Saturday - oh what dreams!!! Need a tattslotto win I think

Bought a solar panel system for the caravan and a portable air condition which will be used for the van and also our little house at Eppalock.

So much for just looking - a couple thousand dollars later

Oh well, all in preparation for when we take off
