As 2010 draws to a close, Cowes based motorhome manufacturer, Romahome, ends the year with its best sales record.
A successful performance at International Caravan and Motorhome 2010 saw the firm place 32 orders for vehicles. The Isle of White motorhome manufacturer is part of the Freeborn Group which operates Citroen dealerships in Southampton and Winchester. Over half of the orders placed at the week-long show came from its associated Southampton centre.
MD Brian Bailey told the Andover Advertiser: “The strong order book is good news, taking retail values of our motorhomes to around £6million for 2010.”
The firm now has a full production line and is on target to produce two hundred motorhomes by the end of the year.
Citroen base
Romahome specialises in building compact motorhomes using Citroen bases and there are currently six models to choose from. The R10 is the smallest of the bunch and compact enough to be used as a modern town car. At the other end of the scale is the Romahome R40, a four berth motorhome which can seat up to six people for travelling.
“We are approaching the New Year with a degree of confidence but we are not complacent so we will continue our programme of constant research and design upgrades,” added Mr Bailey.
