The lotus willie, I'd say you would need a few spare batteries or recharge might be the way to go,

Called to dorts aswell, spotted him yesterday but he was in the middle of deal with a couple (with the finest dethleffs mugs in hand) :lol: :lol:

Now all I need to do is teach the dragon (the wife)to cook on the lotus :up: :up:

Mad Max you obviously didn't get to see the whole show if you didn't see the Crocs at £25 quid. It was my charm that overcame the lady and she gave them to me for £20. Maybe she took pity on me and decided to bless me. I know the feeling about being weary. I was exhausted on Thursday and made my mind up I will be taking Hotel Adria Vision with me the next time. What model of Adria do you have?


I have the 670DK it's the 7 berth with the bunks,

I think we missed a bit alright as we were on way out yesterday evening and spotted a few other bits we hadn't seen before, but by that time the legs were shot (with nearly a mile Walk to get the the shuttle train thing :'( :'( )

I'd say it cost a fortune to organise something of that size and run it for the 5 days, :o

Mad Max I've used my Lotus all summer almost every evening and the batteries are still good. It's a super bit of kit and I saved a fortune on charcoal.

I'd say it would cost a fortune to have a stall there also.

I was told that the smallest stands cost in the region of £30,000 to 35,000 depending on where they are. Can you imagine what the Swift stand cost.

Hope they sold a few yolks to cover that :sleep:

The swift sales men were on ya like a rash as soon as you went in,

I was on the phone and literally 1 salesman followed me round for 2 laps of the vans and in the end I asked him could I help him, he shrugged the shoulders and walked off, and the next poor soul that walked in he was at the same thing,

I seen a few holiday parks were there from Devon and down south, I hope they get the custom if it cost them that much,

Didn't see a stand for shanogues house at the show at all :o :o

I was talking to a exhibitor from Northern Ireland at the show and all he had was a square approx 6 feet long by 4 feet wide and it cost him £1000. There,s a lot of bottles of what he was selling to push off to customers before making the price of the piece of flooring he was using never mind making a profit. 🇧🇭
