The Dusseldorf Caravan Show has been and gone for another year. The biggest show of its kind in Europe, it attracts people from all over the world who want to see what’s happening in the world of caravanning & motorhoming. Attendance was up and, apparently, there were more visitors on the first day than there had been for 20 years. In the temporary campsite, around 3,000 motorhomes and caravans parked up – nose to tail in a manner which would give a British club warden a severe attack of apoplexy!

For many visitors the first stop is Hall 13 where the accessories are on display. Satellite TV systems seemed to be the flavour of the year with new models and variations of old models all over the place. The Camos stand was busier than it’s ever been before with eager visitors wanting to find out about the new PAPSA units and the new Camos sat-dome – the first to have auto-skew.

The PAPSA system was on view in several other halls including Hall 17 which featured only caravans and motorhomes from Hymer. Many Hymer models are fitted with Camos TVs but one of their new models also had a PAPSA unit prominently display on a specially constructed frame. As you can see from the picture, it attracted a lot of interest.

On the same vehicle there was a first sighting of a new Camos rear-view system which uses a camera hidden inside the high-level stoplight housing: very discreet and very effective.

Our first delivery of Camos’s “Portable Auto Positioning Satellite Antenna” arrived yesterday and I couldn’t wait to see one in action. Taking advantage of our indoor satellite testing area, it took just 10 minutes to unpack the box, check the contents, connect the dish to the controller, the controller to the receiver and the receiver to a TV. Then: switch on, choose Astra 28.2, select the appropriate elevation angle (25 degrees) and watch the dish rise up, scan the sky just twice and lock on for a perfect picture.

This is the most sophisticated of three PAPSA models, with access to lots of different satellites and, as a result, thousands of channels. It comes with a carrying bag and looks really good too!

I think that this satellite TV system will appeal to all kinds of people who want a completely reliable method of accessing TV just about anywhere in Europe – on tests in Spain, the PAPSA picked up BBC and ITV as far south as Barcelona. Boaters, motorhomers, caravanners and truckers can all have a fully automatic satellite system for less than half the price of most fixed automatic models.

This particular version costs £899.99 but the basic model – which is designed to work with the Astra 2 satellite only – comes in at a touch under £700.00.

The first 3 people to order any of the PAPSA models and mention that they’ve seen this blog will receive a 12V receiver complete with USB recording function and selling on our website for £89.99. It’s our product D2348 and you can see it if you click here.
