Just returned from the NEC show, had a good day and enjoyed the show as always.
All the usual stalls were there nothing very different, but I managed to speak to the 3 traders I went to see so came away happy except for maybe Webasto. The guy on the stall had no knowledge of the product but at least admitted it and has arranged for someone to contact me. We'll see
Things that surprised me this year.
Not a single RV to be seen. Even Travelworld were busy promoting their European vans.
The boat section was half the size of previous years.
The tent and camping sections seemed to be twice as big.
Must be a sign of the times.
Motorhomes
Big section with loads of new models on show. Must say some of the layouts are fantastic and very clever in the use of space, I particularly like some of the rear bathroom layouts.
But the build quality on most I looked at was quite dissapointing especially for the price of a small home. The one that did impress me however the was new Auto Sleeper clever design and seemed like good quality. Panel van conversions seem to getting more and more popular as well and some are really well kitted out I can see the appeal.
Anyway I had a good day and I'm sure others will have come away with completely different impressions.
