RoadPro

Archive for the ‘RoadPro Events’ Category

At RoadPro we were giving away Camos sat-domes this week. Well, just one to be strictly accurate. The lucky people who we gave it to were Terry and Muriel Rickson who won a competition in the Caravan Club magazine.

We installed it for them too on their 1997 Eccles Diamond 2-berth caravan. Terry and Muriel chose from RoadPro’s range of auto satellite systems and decided on the Camos sat-dome because of its light weight, ease of use, performance and the fact that it’s completely unaffected by wind. The only downside they can think of is having to explain to curious folk why they have a white bubble on top of their caravan.

Caravanners since 1984 and VW combi campers before that, Terry and Muriel will be travelling all over France as well as in the U.K. and, although they don’t plan to spend all their time watching TV, they’re now fully prepared for those occasions when the weather keeps them inside or when they want to catch up with what’s happening, no matter where they are.

On a recent trip to Wales their current aerial couldn’t pick up anything at all. That won’t happen again!

It can’t stay like this for ever and, at RoadPro, we are eagerly looking forward to the Summer which is bound to be blisteringly hot and sunny for months on end.

The Shepton Mallet Show may have been cancelled or postponed but, if you click here, you can see that we’ll be taking our roadshow to other places as well, starting with the NEC Boat & Caravan Show in February. See you there?!

It was with a little trepidation that we set out our stall at the recent show. We’d been moved from last year’s spot and we didn’t know whether people would be able to find us. So, we put up our biggest flags and put out a little pile of  Multimo satellite dishes.
We needn’t have worried: almost as soon as the doors opened, we were inundated with customers old and new and things remained pretty much like that for the whole six days. According to the organisers, this was the busiest show yet and, judging by the crowds of people that we saw, we have to agree.

Several people were kind enough to bring packets of sweets as requested in last month’s newsletter – Thank you! – and we gave out several thousand catlaogues. We now have so few left that it will shortly become a collectors’ item (which reminds me, I’d better get started on our 2010 model!)
