The garden is very muddy by the gate behind the caravan at the moment as I jet washed the Maverick last week after green laning.

Just out of interest, has the extra cost of fuel effected caravan sales and interest?

Not at all , we are very busy at the moment.

People looking to stay in UK and have more shorter holidays over the year.


We are also selling a lot of top end vans around £20k to people pulling their money out of sh!te savings.

Good to hear of a success story in this climate. I have noticed over the last couple of years that vans are keeping their vlaue on the second hand market.

Used to really enjoy caravanning but it's well out of my league now a days. Started on a £250 Minster 3 berth, then a Monza 1200CT with plastic windows and our last van that turned out to be rotten was a Swift Danette but it was a nice van. Sold that and bought a trailer tent which we kept for a year and sold off. Not had anything since but I reckon cost of fuel is prohibative for us now.
