Caravan sales have increased by 40 per cent in the first half of the financial year, it has been claimed.
Park Resorts, which runs a number of camping sites, said the UK caravan industry has enjoyed a “record-breaking season” this year thanks to the number of Brits holidaying in the UK.
Commenting, The Caravan Club spokesperson Nikki Nichol explained the trend could continue for years to come.
She suggested that those who had chosen to holiday in a mobile home this year might decide to make it a regular occurrence.
Ms Nichol claimed the option of having your own mobile holiday home allows people to change their lifestyle.
“Who wouldn’t want a holiday every Friday night? If you have a caravan, you can do that,” the spokesperson said.
Meanwhile, a recent poll from IM Financial Services discovered that almost nine in ten (89 per cent) of respondents would consider buying a caravan.
