RV SHOW’S NUMBERS UP
Crowd numbers at Caravanning
Queensland’s Pre-Christmas
Caravan and Camping Sale
were up seven per cent this
year, with 16,132 show-goers
flowing through the gates at
the late-October RV show.
According to Caravanning
Queensland general manager
Jason Plant, more than $30
million worth of product was
sold at the show.
“While caravan, camper
trailer, motorhome and other
recreational vehicle purchases
were some of the best many
exhibitors have ever seen
at the event, accessories
and equipment exhibitors
also had a very successful
sale,” he said.
“With more than 300
recreational vehicles and
thousands of accessories
sold, there was a wide mix
of purchasers across all
age groups.”
Ben Menzies, general
manager of Coastline RV,
which was an exhibitor, agreed
this year’s show was a highlight
in terms of equipment and
accessory sales compared
to previous years.
“This year we saw a real
spike in interest and purchase
of safety equipment and
accessories, including
reversing cameras, tyre
pressure monitors and GPS
trackers and monitors for
caravans and motorhomes,”
Mr Menzies said.
Ipswich Lifestyle managing
director Chris Rojek said the
Pre-Christmas Sale was
one of the best events his
company had participated in
nationally, with more interest
and sales in their own brand of
camper trailer, Stoney Creek,
than previous events.
“We saw a broad range of
customers interested in our
product, from younger, first-
time campers right through
to older, third or fourth time
purchasers who were looking
to upgrade and wanted to
continue their adventures
with Stoney Creek,” he said.
