BOLTBOX sells a wide range of toolboxes for caravans, utes and trailers, such as the Flat Top Toolbox for Caravan or Camper that costs just $349.
This setup is designed to mount onto the drawbar of your caravan or camper trailer and measures 1200mm x 430mm x 450mm and is constructed from heavy-duty 2mm aluminium checkerplate.
Most companies offer 1.5mm construction, which is nowhere near as strong or robust. BoltBox toolboxes also feature fully welded seams to add extra strength and handle even the toughest jobs. The strong, hard-wearing door of the Flat Top Toolbox has piano-type hinges along its length and the door is supported with hydraulic struts.
T-bar swivel locks come with two keys. The toolbox is weather resistant to suit our Australian climate and rubber door seals provide extra durability. You can visit www.boltbox.com.au to see the full range or alternatively come and meet the team at the Moreton Bay Caravan, Camping, Boating & 4×4 Expo. The BoltBox stand will be located at site OS322, right outside the Pavilion.
THE Maxview Crank Up roof-mounted satellite system is the solution to poor TV reception.
Imagine being able to pull up anywhere in Australia, wind up your high-quality Maxview Crank Up dish and watch free to air or pay TV (requires a valid decoder) via satellite in perfect, clear, high-definition picture, all from the comfort of inside your van. At a fraction of the price of an automatic system and with ease of use along with the reliability you’d expect from a European manufacturer, the Maxview Crank Up is the best value for money roof-mounted satellite system in Australia.
Ask the team at the SatPlus stand for a free demonstration and special show pricing. For more information, visit www.satplus.com.au

KNOCKABOUTS Gloves have been developed to protect hands and arms from ultraviolet rays, reducing the risk of skin cancers due to sun exposure.
For anyone who enjoys playing their favourite sport, fishing, gardening or working in the outdoors, Knockabouts Gloves are the smart choice. Travelling by car is something most of us do on a daily basis, and this is when our hands and arms are most exposed to UV. However, wearing the gloves will give you the maximum UPF50+ sun protection.
If you have already had skin cancers removed and are conscious about protecting your skin from further damage, these great gloves will protect your hands and arms (in the longer lengths). In addition, Knockabouts Gloves are washable, non-intrusive (won’t put you off your game), available in white, skin tone and navy colours and comfortable to wear. With Australia having one of the highest rates of skin cancers in the world, we are constantly becoming more aware of protecting our skin. Knockabouts Gloves are the first step in preventing skin cancers and sun spots on the hands and arms. You can order direct through the DR Manufacturing online store at drmanufacturing.com.au or call 07 3257 1472.

WHEN you are caravanning, camping or boating, you need a reliable power source.

The lightest and quietest, portable and easy to use, Yamaha generators are quickly becoming every camper’s versatile workhorse. They are ideal for when you need clean, high-quality electricity in a compact and lightweight package. If you are setting off in your RV or caravan, then an inbuilt Cummins Onan commercial mobile generator is for you. Specifically designed and built for confined spaces in RVs, caravans and commercial vehicles, the Cummins Onan range will put out big power without headache-inducing noise.
The range includes exhaust systems and fuel extensions for easy installation and accessibility. Make sure you come and see the Macfarlane Generators team at the Expo and check out the fantastic Yamaha and Cummins Onan generators on display.

OUT of the Blue Tackle is now a stockist of the award-winning range of Lunkerhunt frog lures.
The company has just received a shipment of 2016-release Popping Frogs. The Popping Frog calls fish in by creating a surface disturbance because its concave face catches the water, causing popping and spitting noises. Lunkerhunt’s frog range includes the Pocket Frog, Lunker Frog, Combat Frog and of course the brand-new Popping Frog. These frogs are very lifelike, with natural-looking and moving legs. The legs extend on the retrieve and retract on the pause, allowing the frogs to produce loads of action with minimal movement.
Lunkerhunt frogs can be worked along edges, through weed pockets and in open water, attracting all kinds of fish from Australian bass to barra and more. They come in a range of colours and Out of the Blue Tackle sells them at the best prices in Australia. For more information, stop by the Out of the Blue Tackle stand at the Expo or call Sheryl or Brian on 0407 750 159.
