LEISUREFEST STANDOUTS ! Favourite vans and gear at Melbourne Leisurefest

CAMPING CUISINE ! Pizza time !

TRAVELS WITH KINGDEANO Paws and puppets

BY MAX TAYLOR

Melbourne Leisurefest returned to Sandown Racecourse in early October . Once again , exploring the show revealed the variety of RVs on offer . It ’ s a cliche , but there truly was something for everyone .

In this issue , we ’ ve provided a quick wrap-up of some of the vans and products that caught our eye . But a particularly memorable moment occurred when I was approached by a man who credited me with his love of caravanning … and even told me that he ’ d bought a van I tested as part of a big trip to Broken Hill many years ago ( see page 70 ). The results and colour of that trip were published in a different magazine , but I couldn ’ t fault his choice of van : the Concept Icon , a pop-top with fold-out bed-ends which , from memory , was developed about 2010 .

I don ’ t mind admitting that it was nice to be recognised , but it was much better to hear that this gentleman loved his van and was getting a lot of use out of it . After all , what good is a caravan if it ’ s not being used ?
