Wandin Show Modcon

Yeh good show only third time I've been. Funny about your posting I was walking around mumbling that there is nothing different when I saw Southern Cross with a new camper Bush something which looked OK but too dear.

I then saw another mob nearby with a fibreglass camper with a protective hard lid which I liked. Next to this camper was the one Mod Con you are talking about. The display was around $20k which is way under say Pioneer (looked very similar in quality)

Mate IMO go for it, not sure who was selling it but I guess you'll buy when you get home.

The price of the Modcon seems cheap to begin with but by the time you add the bits you soon get to $25000 and virtually directly comparable with Pioneer Argyle.

When comparing to the Pioneer -
I like the fact that the canvas is vertical at the ends where the pioneer is sloped quite a bit. The Modcon is therefore roomier.
The pioneer has a stainless kitchen and much better kitchen slides and doesn't need a support leg like the Modcon, but the modcon has a griller in the stove.

The Modcon powder coating was already coming off the kitchen slide.

I think the Pioneer has much better suspension.

The Modcon is quite heavy and wide, so not really suited to mid size 4wd - width 1800, Pioneer is 1700. It's best for a full size 4wd.

I believe Modcon is planning a slightly smaller one because of the above.

$25,000 for a canvas tent on a trailer come on you guys obviously have too much money.
may as well stay 5 star all around australia!

under 15 K maybe but what are you really buying sorry too much wank factor here

do yourself a favour and get a TAMBO or Dingo (apart fom attitud dramas!) and use the money for fuel big deal about ball weight as this is all about load balance and different vehicles anyway.

(off soap box ) just bleep to miss out on Wandin and EO members

cheers

oh yeah house a few weeks off now
