adventure. You will find a variety of camper trailers and tent trailers throughout the Expo, including offroad and on-road varieties, hard or soft floors, some with simple living quarters, and some with extended kitchen and dining facilities.

A camper or tent trailer is an economical and practical way to travel. They are also extremely comfortable and convenient.

Camper and tent trailers are growing in popularity because they are a compact unit that tows smoothly behind almost any vehicle, are easy to handle and set up, and don’t take much space to store.

What will you check out at the Expo?

Caravans The Penrith Caravan, Camping & Holiday Expo will have lots of caravans on display, so you can compare all the makes and models available and chose the caravan that’s just right for you.

Caravans come in many shapes, sizes and designs. They can be compact enough to be towed behind a small car or they can be a luxurious palace-on-the road.

There are many different styles available, which can be anything

from three metres to 10 metres long. They are fitted out with many of the comforts of home. Touring in a caravan is a dream come true for many travellers.

Motorhomes and fifth wheelers Travelling in a motorhome or fifth wheeler is more like travelling with your home on wheels.

Much like caravans, motorhomes and fifth wheelers are made for year-round travelling and have facilities such as toilets, showers,

air conditioners and fully equipped kitchens, making them selfcontained and extremely comfortable. The term fifth wheeler derives from the motorhome connecting to the tow vehicle via a turntable or ‘wheel’, allowing articulated motion.

Camper Trailers Camper trailers and tent trailers are becoming increasingly popular.

They are perfect for young families, couples or active retirees seeking

Tents Today’s tents and equipment make getting back to nature a luxurious experience.

With an array of comfortable chairs and beds, convenient cookers, and tents that can be erected in less than 30 seconds, there is a camping style to suit almost everyone.

Accessories The Penrith Caravan, Camping & Holiday Expo will offer an array of caravanning and camping accessories so you can find just what you need.

Holiday Parks With over 400 member parks CCIA NSW holiday parks are a great way to experience the best of what the State has to offer.

Parts and accessories for boating, caravanning and 4WD enthusiasts
