Caravan dealers GT Touring quit caravan retail and we check price cuts

What another one? Yes GT Touring have pulled out of caravan retail concentrating on trailers / caravan accessories / towbar fitting etc and a walk around Wandahome Southcave Caravan/motorhome dealership

Great video, you're at your best on dealer sales. Tough time for people looking for starter caravans, it's the same in Ireland anything good between 6000 to 12000 is gone as soon as they land in dealerships. Don't believe myself that those top end vans were worth the money people paid for them. Prices holding up well in Ireland as there is a lack of dealerships here.

Interesting comments Kevin - yes good used at an affordable price find a home especially family models. Newer high price stuff sticks more - and the new stuff is being discounted heavily here. Its a roller coaster ride all we can do is see what happens in coming months. - thanks for you great comments.

Good video Andrew, when entry level vans are over £20k and used prices are similar if not more than they were when new, I think people are questioning the value of touring caravans. Especially as the prices creep towards motorhome prices at the top end, whilst quality seems to have worsened. I think industry greed will kill the caravan if not careful

[@caravanindustryexpertandyjenk]

Caravans will become niche and for those only with money - a bit like how it began in the 1920-s! Motorhomes will I think reach their peak - I feel some more dealers will crash!

Good review as ever. Wandahome was an option when we bought our current Sprite but my wife hated the interior of their Ace version that year (2018). Now desperate to see the 2025 Sprite and also the Unicorn if , as you say, Bailey are about to change it - Harrogate could get expensive for me!! Just looked at GT Towing website but very little left and don't particularly want to buy in Hertfordshire. Prices do seem to be all over at the minute - was at Newark for National Motorhome Show last Saturday and even motorhomes had a lot of offers on them - however some dealers seemed optimistic - £208,000 for a Carthago and Coachman (Kabe) not much less. VW camper makers wanting over 60K in what to me is a saturated market !!!

Loved that video. It's good to know that prices aren't crazy anymore. Hoping to get an almost new 2 birth next year so will keep watching and learning. Cheers

[@caravanindustryexpertandyjenk]

Glad you enjoyed the video hoping to do more like that - prices will calm down - they have to! Thanks for watching and commenting

[@thetrackertravels]

Great video as ever Andy and thank you for the shout out once again! It is really an interesting place, our local dealer, you know is White Arches and they have very few vans in… let alone the lower end like they once used to. Keep up the good work :) Andy

[@caravanindustryexpertandyjenk]

Hi Andy - thank you and fpr your messages to

[@totaltouring829]

Prices are now becoming more ridiculous so far as build quality is concerned. The bubble has burst with overpriced vans and if the likes of Elldis dont up their game they will be gone within the next 12-18 months. That’s my opinion of course.

[@conrad8906]

Great video Andy as always, caravan prices have been high recently, but if your looking for a bigger van new or used and you need a bigger car to tow it, your into motorhome prices, more attractive??

[@caravanindustryexpertandyjenk]

Hi Conrad - yes good point and one that I think will sway folk - if they can adapt to the different lifestyle - its a confusing market at the moment !!

[@jamesdavison9483]

Interesting video Andrew, more please

[@caravanindustryexpertandyjenk]

James - thank you - will see what I can do

[@iangiles7038]

Hi there seam to be a lot of Lunar caravans on the market at present Do you think there is any reason for this

[@caravanindustryexpertandyjenk]

Hi - no I just think thats how it is - there will be folk selling them after several years ownership and upgrading to a new van. There are some good examples around and some damp issues - but thats true with most makers after a few years. Thanks for your comment.

swift roof windows WILL leak or crack , bailey floors WILL get wet. Dont know what to do next. Anyway just seen swift have brought the monza name back on a camper van.

[@caravanindustryexpertandyjenk]

Monza name back a few years ago but now a revamped campervan I saw it at factory but not allowed to film it Paul

[@andyzee3956]

Just taken delivery of a new Pegasus Ancona, we got a very attractive deal with ££££ off list price. They discounted it without us even asking. Also got them to switch our mover and a new set of shocks fitted. The final piece of the jigsaw was the attractive trade in price offered on our old 2017 Pursuit. I think it was a deal both parties were happy with.

[@caravanindustryexpertandyjenk]

Hi Andy - well done and without pushing too-great deal and you go away happy - hope the van proves good for you and thanks for letting us know your deal.

[@muddymarvellous]

There is a new swift Trekker being launched in October at the nec, end lounge. No pop tip

[@caravanindustryexpertandyjenk]

Trekker looks good saw it in production-thank you

[@chrisr547]

Saw an Abi Marauder and Monza 1400ct stood in a field the other day and thought if you.

[@caravanindustryexpertandyjenk]

Love it Chris - vans from the glory days of ABI who were then the UK's number one maker - went round their factory in 87 and 97 may do a video slide show on it at some stage - thanks for contact
