A rundown on events in South Australia
Avid fans and novices know well that attending expos and shows is the best way to see all the latest caravan releases, gear, equipment and accessories. They offer superb opportunities to see a whole of suppliers in one place for easy and convenient comparisons on the spot.
Expos also run seminars and presentations by leading experts, so they are a great place to update your knowledge and a source of valuable information to enhance your caravan experience.
The peak industry body in South Australia is the Caravan and Camping Industries Association of South Australia, which runs several annual expos.
The annual South Australia Caravan and Camping Show was held in February 2015 at Adelaide Showgrounds, and Let’s Go Caravan and Camping Super Sale was born 30 July – 2 August 2015 at Adelaide Showgrounds.
