New caravans getting more expensive

Due to covid 19 and the foreign travel restriction over almost the past year it seems to be a sellers maket, I suppose people who in the past would have never considered camping or caravaning have enjoyed the pleasure and maybe the cheaper option compared to a yearly holiday abroad.
Surely that price is a joke as quite a number of those Options or extras are standard on some caravans like Buccaneer which is priced nearly £5000 less and the wheel locks are standard like many other brands of caravans.
Time will tell if the price puts people off, but it may be simply to make it exclusive and because it will be made in smaller numbers the costs are higher. At that price the build will need to be excellent quality, as it will sell to those who expect perfection.
Just hang in with a bit of patience till Covid 19 has been better tamed and the market will be flooded with vans & motorhomes as many late adopters of our hobby revert back out of it.
Supply & demand ramifications work both ways.

That price has put me off i will not be buying a caravan for £40,455 even if the built is excellent quality . i will buy another new caravan that suits our budget and it got good reviews from customers and the qualty is excellent ,
I track the price of the new Sprites so my "New for Old" insurance policy reflects the MSRP of the latest version of my caravan. Since my 2018 model was released there has been very little differences in the 3 sebsequesnt iterations; touchscreen control panel, DAB radio (Still pee'd off we have just an FM radio) and interior colour schemes. The exterior design has not changed at all, but the price has increased nearly £4000!
Swift do appear to have dropped the pretence with the "Diamond Pack" and Front Sunroof options... as no dealer would order a Sprite without them.
But think of how light your wallet will be!

Airstream does look nice but the weight would not suit me

Well it might be a few years because we only started back towing April 2019 to see if i could do it again (Remember we pack up in 2011/12 Sold everything )
