Last year saw an unprecedented rise in the number of caravanners taking to the road during the “staycation boom”, yet the increase in numbers can prove favourable as manufacturers compete for a share of the larger market. And at this year’s round of caravan shows there may well be discounts on offer from dealers as the newer models begin to filter onto forecourts.
With this in mind, the Three Counties Caravan and Motorhome Show is taking place in Malvern’s Three Counties Showground from September 30th to October 3rd. There is an impressive range of manufacturers in attendance including Swift, Lunar, Bailey, Elddis, Cotswold Motor Caravans, Coachman and Buccaneer.
It is likely that caravan buyers will get their first proper look at the newest offers from two of the industry’s giants. Bailey Caravans are set to unveil their premium Alu-Tech model in a strictly limited edition. Called the Bailey Unicorn, no images have been made public but it is a much rumoured replacement for the now discontinued Senator range. Meanwhile Swift Caravans will reveal significant redesigns to their Charisma and Sterling Europa ranges.
Sponsored by Golden Castle Leisure Group, the event offers free parking and a chance to catch up on all the latest caravan industry news. Billed as “the UK’s premiere touring event”, the show will see visitors handed discounts on many 2010 and used models.
In addition to the manufacturer showcases there will also be a trade village showcasing awnings and other caravan-related products – as well as a dedicated accessory shop for picking up the smaller essentials.
Under 18s are allowed in for free, with adults paying just £5 for a pass. To purchase tickets for the event click here
