Watched the programme last night, pleasantly surprised at the positive coverage, not too much detail, but better than a lot of caravan related tv, managed to watch it all the way through. Second episode airs tonight.
Thought it was being done by persons who are new to normal camping or not at all .How many persons serious about buying expensive m/h at those shown . Nothing like the persons who use to do it many years , they use to show you the good and not so good parts which is interesting. I turned it off before the end but will take a look tonight just to see if it is worth looking at.
.. Static caravan for 750 thousand pounds....
740K?750K!!!! - Wonder what the depreciation will be after say, three years?![]()
The way I look at it , is if I were a millionaire I would not waste my time going to a show, but would go straight to the dealership. Then again if you were a millionaire you probably wouldn't be camping. LOL!I quite enjoyed it too, eye-watering sums of money though.

The second programme was better than the first, and at least the programme makers didn't poke fun at caravanners or blame us for traffic hold ups, which has been the case in the past.
There was little detail, but the section of the programme which dealt with caravans did at least mention the availability of caravan servicing, towing courses, disabled caravanning and campsite cookery.
The programme may arouse some interest in caravans etc, and even though no entry level models were featured, the presenters tried to give an impression of modern day caravans
That looks greatIf you are going to go premium ditch the £100k plus Smart car behind and go big time!!

Statics on holiday parks can be cheap in low or mid season. I’m looking for two nights camping mid May, grass no electric, showers, loos etc for around £8 pn on near to Duxford to visit the IWM. Currently ccc look the lowest price , but a nearby CS is twice the price per night. Although the CS has more ambience and is cosier. Not made my mind up yet but at £1.50 per litre the difference of £16 for two nights pitching is hardly a deal breaker.Well to be honest Ray once you get caught up in caravans it is quite expensive. A friend has rented a static for 4 days /nights in Cleethorpes ,6 birth inc gas and electricity for £60 . That wouldn't pay your ground rent on many caravan sites these days. Camping may still be cheap of course.
That very reasonable i hope you have a nice time if you goI’m looking for two nights camping mid May, grass no electric, showers, loos etc for around £8 pn on near to Duxford to visit the IWM.
