No - dealers seem to offer "show discounts" even if they're not at the show and the shows are too busy to make decisions on what is probably the 3rd most expensive thing we ever buy - after house and car.

Last years Manchester show was full of promise - I know the trade in price for our caravan but there were some silly offers if I was too buy a new caravan, at least £2,000 over the 'list price'

So are we being ripped off?

Hi Kevin

Looks nifty, but small dish, will it work down at Phils place?

My maxview was fine but its the 85cm ellipticle dish. Just wondered.
