7th April 2010

We’ve just returned from the 4th annual Motorhome Expo,  which  was  held  in  Hamilton  from  11  to  14 March  at  the  newly  redeveloped  Claudelands Convention and Exhibition Centre.

There was a great buzz at this year’s expo, which organizers said was bigger than last year. We enjoyed seeing a lot of our old friends as well as making lots of new friends. We  kicked  off  a  very  positive  opening  day  with  the  sale of one of our freshly redesigned Basecamp models. Foot traffic and interest in our stands was really high and the feedback we received was incredibly positive.

Other than having pride of place in the new exhibition hall, with what we think was an impressive stand display, we had some star attractions that even saw our competitors dropping by for a wee nosey and a chat.

We’re talking about our new Landmark Coromandel 820, which made its debut, as well as our new high-end Trail-lite caravans.

Seeing  the  huge  interest  in  our  Landmark  Coromandel 820 was heartening. This top of the range model features a  lot  of  the  things  we’re  famous  for,  like  huge  batteries, excellent  water  storage  (600L  fresh  water  in  this  model) and  a  luxurious  one-off  interior  by  our  interior  designer, Victoria  Scott.  But  what  the  Landmark  Coromandel 820 has in addition is an amazing sense of space created by the new slide-out lounge/dining room.

When  you  step  inside  it’s  incredible  what  an  impressive difference the slide-out makes to your living space. People  were  simply  blown  away  by  the  extra  space. Even we are still a little in awe of this fine addition to our Landmark family. With two TVs, full en-suite bath-room, a pullout BBQ and many handy accessories, it is definitely worth closer inspection. Speaking of which, look  out  for  its  reviews  in  all  leading  motorhome magazines soon.

We also featured our 7.2m Landmark Oakura, which is built on a Iveco Daily base vehicle for improved comfort and  handling.  With  an  island  rear  bed,  ensuite  bath-room and swivel seats that extend the lounge it was a talking point with many of our visitors.

If you missed seeing us in Hamilton, you can see us there  again, but this time at Feildays, Mystery  Creek, from 16 to 19 June 2010.
