CARAVANS

There has been a revival in people's interest in caravans in recent years, which is no surprise when you consider the flexibility they offer and the shear value-for-money. More and more people now recognise the benefits that a caravan holiday can bring to their life and let's face it, because there are so many quality caravan camp sites throughout the British Isles, you don't have to go far if you want a relaxing weekend break in your caravan.

"Caravans Become Popular Again" by Alison White

It's obvious that caravans are again cool. The Caravan Club statistics confirm it; last month they had more new members than ever. Although it's usual to have 5,600 new members, last month there were 7,210. This is a record for the 100-year history of the Caravan Club.

There many reasons for this recent popularity of caravanning. Nikki Nichol of the Caravan Club thinks that among them are the high temperature in July and the security crisis at UK airports in August. She also said that the new members were influenced to join the Club by the presence of many popular persons like Margaret Beckett, Mark Owen of Take That and Lorraine Kelly.

There's also a younger generation of fans like Kate Moss, Jenson Button, Sean Penn, Nicole Richie, Jamie Oliver and Lenny Kravitz who made caravans popular, as they chose to buy a luxury caravan that can sometimes cost almost £500,000.

Nikki Nichol declared: 'Caravanning has become very fashionable. Young couples who want to go surfing or travelling are trying it, as are families and retirees, and it's been made stylish by the revival of the VW Campervan and designer Airstream caravans, which were recently adapted for narrow European roads.'

Sam North, manager of the International Caravan and Motorhome Show declared: 'It's new launches like the C-Liner or the Airstream that are helping change the perception of motorhomes and opening up a whole new audience. It is no longer Carry on Camping, bad cabarets and tin boxes on wheels.'

At the moment, caravanning is the most popular UK holiday hobby, as it represents 17 per cent of all holiday trips taken in Britain and the Caravan Club has 936,000 members. When she presented the advantages of caravanning, Nikki Nichol said: 'More people are realising that you have total freedom on a caravan holiday: you don't need to worry about hand luggage and airport security, and the good weather this summer has certainly encouraged people to enjoy their holidays in the UK.'
