So, as I have nothing to do on a Sunday afternoon and the children are staying fairly quiet at the moment, I got to thinking about one of my favorite subjects, the touring caravan. So many years of selling touring caravan insurance must have started to ‘rub off’!
As a director of cover4caravans, I have probably spent more time looking at different static and touring caravans online and at trade shows than most. It is, however, only recently that I have been in the position both financially and at home to consider buying my own touring or static caravan.
It’s out with the old and in with the new, as caravanners can upgrade their model at the Salop Leisure Holiday Home exhibition, which runs from 27th April to 7th May. At one of the biggest static caravan shows of its kind in the country, Salop will showcase more than 50 holiday homes from all the leading manufacturers, including exclusive new models from Willerby, Atlas, Cosalt and the award-winning BK Bluebird.
The new holiday homes on show are centrally-heated and double-glazed with luxurious carpets, ensuite toilets and even full-sized baths in some models. Prices on new products start at £15,000, although Salop is offering part-exchange deals on old touring caravans and holiday homes and promises a range of flexible finance options as well as swift delivery.
For the avid caravanner, it’s probably worth going just for a browse at the new luxury models as entry and parking at the exhibition are absolutely free and there is a ‘Love Coffee’ shop where refreshments can be bought. Enthusiasts can visit the show from 9am to 6pm Monday to Saturday and 10am to 5pm on Sunday at Salop’s new Shrewsbury office off the B4380 exit at the Emstrey Island roundabout.
