Did anyone visit the NEC caravan & Camping show?

Hello

Went over the weekend, looking at what's available since having our van stolen.

We liked a few models, some are now 8ft wide? not 100% sure I would be happy given some of the lanes we end up in

Some great looking off road type caravans and trailer tents,

Great show

I was there today. Bought a cover for my sterling and a couple odds and sods. Had a good look at the inflatable awnings as the Isabella that came with ours (private seller) only has a year or two left in it I think.

I agree, the trailer tents looked really good! Though very expensive when compared to what you get for the price of a caravan I thought.

Looked a a LOT of camper vans with the in laws, which along with my cover was the main reason for going. Some really nice set ups!!

Didn't look at any caravans as i am loving our at the minute and didn't want to see something I liked!! Strong people are harder to kill and generally more useful!

^ We went Saturday

Entered the hall at the accessories and then the vw T5 / T6's was 2.30pm until we started looking at caravans !!

Your right the trailer tent I liked was £19,000 basic plus options.

The twin axial Caravan we liked wasn't much more....

I entered the same side. The VWs are cool but an effort with a family. A mate and I used his to go mountain biking in Camonix it wa surest for that. He's selling it and getting a caravan as the him, wife, kids and dog in the VW make, I quote "the administration in the VW is insanely taxing"

Some of the twin axles were HUGE! I noticed some had bike racks on the rear, I thought that was a no no as it was to muck weight on the rear. 🤔

I didn't bother wiring to look round the £335,000 motor home with the Smart car in the boot (can't remember the brand) but it did look nice.

I done nearly a full day. Arrived 10:20 and left 17:30 ish. Long old day on my feet!! Strong people are harder to kill and generally more useful!
