The British love their caravan holidays

More of us are swapping foreign trips for UK breaks as the credit crunch bites. And that's one reason why caravans are still so popular. Approximately 4.5 million of us plan to take a break in the UK this year. And according to The Caravan Club, bookings on their sites are already up by 40 per cent. Also their year on year their membership continues to increase. The National Caravan Council says half a million touring caravans and 164,000 motor homes are in use in the UK – and this upward trend in caravan popularity is also reflected in sales at Silverdale-based dealership North Staffs Caravans. Sales of touring caravans are up around 10 per cent on last year, which shows that more and more of the British public are looking to stay in the UK during the summer.
