Adelaide Caravan & Camping Show

Yeah...I gave it a miss this year as I can't fit much else in to the truck. Much of the gear is more of the same old stuff.

Only did 5 minutes of gardening and then got the rest of the weekend off to play with my toys :-0)

I actually brought the fire starter of the bloke where the panphlets were and two tonage rated shackels for my trailer, sat in the swinging chair for about 10 minuts blody good but at 145 I weaked and did not get it, drooled over the winibegos but though they might have trouble jumping the sand hills even remebered not to look at the price its nice to dream, though it was set out a little better this year but I felt there was less there do you agree, was talking to my bloke at 4 weel drive systems and he said its just to much for a stand

Went to the 12v shop.....SWMBO wanted to get me a power pack; only need it to run a versa-lite when camp fire/cooking/eating area is not near the truck or trailer. She was going to get me a Waeco-type thumper or something for $300+.
After some consideration, I saved her about $250- by suggesting we just get a little 7a/hr 12v sealed unit in a zip-up bag with a single cigi socket in a pocket at one end. It was the last one they had, so the bloke dropped the price from $69- to $55- and that included a short cord with a male cigi plug on both ends for charging up from the truck or camper battery. It should run a 11w flouro for several hours. It had been used throughout the show as their display and had a Lightforce hand held spottie plugged into it. He put the batt on the multimeter before giving it to me and it still showed 12.58v after a few days of intermittent use.
BTW...aren't those big Lightforce handheld (the 240's) bloody brilliant???

Best thing about the Adelaide CC&OR show is that Snowys have 20% off everything in the store instead of displaying at the show. I went to the show and bought very little. Went to Snowys and bought anything else I'm likely to need until next year.
