Great Vlog Andy, great to hear new sales are going well because without them the used market would get very expensive. Some very devious Park owners are pulling the upgrade card out for elderly people who have been many years on site which makes it next to impossible for them to upgrade. Quite sad really considering the amount of money they would have paid in site fees over the years. Good to see your books are being advertised and we wish you many thousands of sales. Keep up the videos, and reviews they give us much to look forward to next Spring.

Thank you Kevin - hope is all going well at your end - yes some park owners take advanatge its not doing the holiday home market any good. Some parks now dont have a age date - my sisters the same changed their van after 20 years because they wanted an upgrade which is how it should be thank you for the best on the books - just taken on two more new book contracts - busy fool very little in money to be made!

Caravan carpets ... never use ours! Ask the dealer to leave it in the polythene! We use a washable runner. Caravan curtains ... just have upholstered pads on our side windows, felt strange to start with but like them now.

Hi Andy. As more evidence, without naming the Dealership, in-process of buying a brand new Swift Carrera CamperVan 2025 model, so brand new, delivered before Xmas to Dealership, with nearly £5000 discounted, part NEC discounts, part Dealership discounts. Interesting times in this genre of leisure industry. What appears to be happening, perception based only as have no data, people like myself, are buying CamperVans they like, but not at the expensive real high end (£90,000 & above) & then adding a lot of aftermarket mods (Lithium battery upgrades, internet, full air suspension, self levelling, off-road wheels for look and practicality, diesel heaters, further winterisation above heated fresh and waste water tanks, with thermal rapping, so really can use in all weathers off grid, plus a host of other add-ons I will not list here. Then at least you get the CamperVan you want and not what a manufacturer, large or small believes it’s customer’s want. Plus ends-up a lot cheaper over-all. Informative video again, thank-you & looking forward to buying the book which I will order in the New Year on CamperVans.

Thank you for that info my sandwhich guy said the same and that makes sense - hope the Swift is as good as it sounds they do a good campervan and that discount sounds great to thank you
