The Caravan Club has hailed last month's Boat and Caravan Show as being a big success.
With the recent trend for staycations in the UK, Brits have become more inclined to stay in caravans and other mobile homes.
Some 83,264 people attended the show, which saw a number of the country's top firms exhibit their wares.
Taking place in Birmingham's National Exhibition Centre from February 22nd to 27th, some firms at the event recorded a 20 per cent year-on-year rise in sales.
Event director Andy Gibb explained that the Caravan Club and mobile home manufacturers provide an integral level of support for the show.
He said that the importance such bodies place on the event reflects its standing in the UK caravan market.
Meanwhile, the Caravan Club recently reported that the Norwich Evening News has encouraged visitors to East Anglia to try a day of walking on the banks of the River Wensum.
