What’s going to be there?
Expect to see over 400 caravans, 130 camper trailers and every camping gadget and gear on the market. It’s the perfect place to compare a wide variety of options quickly, whether you are looking at some of the big ticket items, comparing 12V fridges or just looking for a comfortable camping chair. It can be very time consuming driving around Perth to look at different options; the Caravan and Camping show puts everything in one place for you to check out and discuss with the sales teams.
