We went yesterday. It's now caravans, motorhomes and camping and I felt it was all a bit cramped in compared to other years. We brought a new Dorema porch awning with 15% off and got 10% off a new satellite. So it's worth it for the discounts but the awning section was much smaller than Oct 2015 show.

We went yesterday as well. I always enjoy this show but like others have said I don't think there were so many awnings as usual. I expect you could order them if you knew what you wanted. We only wanted a fairly cheap porch awning for w/e use which we ordered. We intend to buy a full awning in a few months time.
Loads of motor caravans, seemed more than usual. Don't think there was so many stalls selling bits and pieces, mind you we spent a fortune in Towsure.
We also got a Cadac BBQ which they were giving away a free pizza stone. Just what hubby wanted, well BBQ not so much the pizza stone.
You could spend a fortune if you are a lucky lotto winner

Not that I noticed but to be honest we weren't looking for them. There were a few stalls with locks but the prices were the same at each. We found if you bought a few bits from one seller you could get a discount as a GWG.
We ordered from Towsure yesterday at the show as previously advised and believe it or not the order turned up an hour ago. Now that's excellent service, less than 24 hours!

We got the small one called Safari, £99 with free pizza stone. We also bought the gas adapter to use small gas canisters as our caravan does not have a BBQ point outside. Though someone further up has put a link on for it a bit cheaper but with no pizza stone. Also may work out the same with postage. Looks a great bit of kit.. Can't wait to use

Pink pigeon,

We got a Caracas Carri 2 in October at the show for £165 with free case and utensilse kit, cleaner spray. If your hunting around.

I think on line they are normally any where from £180 up with out free bits that normally cost £30 ish

So deals to be done.

Enjoy the show

I got a Cadac Carri Chef 2 and Scottle combo set In January for £156.29 on Amazon from Coolsound-superstore. It arrived very promptly and was the cheapest I could find anywhere.

If you look on the Internet, most places do show deals online while the show is on.

We went a few years ago and think it's good if you want to see layouts of vans but felt around the edges it was just the same old tat!
