The success of the caravan industry in recent times has been underlined by the latest figures from a Shropshire and mid-Wales-based dealership.
According to the Shropshire Star, Salop Leisure reported record earnings of £4 million for the month of October.
It sold in excess of 100 touring caravans and motorhomes and a similar number of caravan holiday homes last month.
Part of the success may be down to the West Midlands Caravan and Motorhome Show, which the firm hosted during October.
The ten-day event attracted more than 12,000 visitors from around the UK and abroad and was considered a great success.
In other news, the Hartlepool Mail has reported that a derelict caravan has been used as a dumping ground after its owners were evicted six months ago.
The newspaper revealed that a former councillor has complained about the mobile home, which is located at a property on Waverley Terrace.
