TIPS TO MAKE THE MOST OF THE SHOWS:
Before heading off to the shows, ask yourself the following questions. You will gain clarity on what you are after, have an idea of your budget and be ready to make the most of the show only bargains!
- First, narrow down exactly what you are after before you go;
- Make a list of the ‘Must Have’ and ‘Nice to Have’ features of your asset;
- Consider how often you will use the asset per year and where;
- Consider how many people it needs to accommodate;
- Will you require storage space for luggage or supplies?
- Where will you store or park the asset when it is not in use?
- Will you need to tow the asset behind a suitable 4×4?
…and importantly,
- What is your budget and how are you going to fund the asset?
- If you are financing, ensure you get pre-approval before you go.
- Then go shopping and start living your ‘Life Upgraded!’
