National 4 x 4 & Outdoors Expo Brisbane March 31-April 2

Popped into today for 3hrs....scored a free tickets and free parking just around the corner from the gate.

Grabbed a windscreen suction mount thingy for my phone and a hammock for the bride.

Wanted to find out more info on and induction cook top...but I had to book a inhouse demonstration......so said I would pass...

Looked at a battery isolator that ticked the boxes, double din stereos, inflatable boats, draw/storage ideas, did a health check, had an ice sandwich, wonder why so many people were buying hi-lift jacks than carting them around the show, heard of the load speaker that I could check out the 888 Racing kitted Colorado in one ear out the other, checked out the heaviest duty 270 awning that will never need posts even even in cyclone Debbie winds, couldn't buy an ARB switch, check out Trayon and UEV for fit out ideas.

Which one?

I didn't get there in the end. Had the wife with me, and she was not interested in being dragged around looking at stuff she wasn't interested in, and paying $18 for the privilege. It would be great if there was a way to put on these shows so the vendors for the entry fee. Ultimately, it really is a shopping exercise for many. A bit like paying to shop at Costco [bigwhistle]

Mate...told you could have picked the cover up.

The awning was on a side on camper....they were tucked into the corner of the same pavilion as trayon.....struggling to remember the name. The awning alone would put me over GVM
