We don’t have a podcast stand in Feb but I am on the Advice centre throughout the week so come say hi!
What has "living in the northern hemisphere" have to do with poor solar?
Angle to the sun and daylight hours perhaps?
@@MotorhomeMatt That is to do with latitude, position either side of the equator.
Preston Caravans must be living in a utopia world, as one example, Swift, is still 8+ months and waiting (more like 12 months), but understand the false narrative sales pitch!! The selling/buying for Dealerships is drying-up, as this luxury segment of the tourism market (Motorhome/Camper-van/Caravan/Static most certainly is, do not be fooled), is on a downward trajectory as currently people don't have the finances or those that have such luxury vehicles or holiday type homes are having to sell or having them repossessed in growing numbers on actual relative low APR % (Compared to APR % now), as people have to prioritise finances. Talking finances, from Black Horse to other loan provider options, with APR currently sitting anywhere between 8.9% to over 10%, this luxury tourism industry are having a 'giraffe' Evidence will be if they will sell more or less in 2024 & guess where the bets are falling! If a possible customer, if having an option which all should, as this is a luxury purchase not a necessity, consider sitting out the current 2024 market. This is due to the extortionate APR % on offer and prices by manufacturers and dealerships. There is likely to be a market adjustment in the months ahead and into 2025. Those that have, will always have, those that opened the door into this luxury holiday segment, the door is closing, due to real term reality, that the money in your pockets is no longer going as far. Cheap old vans & cheap self builds with cheap manufacturing parts from China will likely continue as an alternative, to those the door is shutting out of direct purchase from main manufacturers.
Thanks for watching and for your comment. It’s certainly a turbulent landscape at the moment but I am encouraged by the general sense of optimism from the trade. Let’s see where we are in a year!
Its far to small now , very disappointing again
It’s a small venue isn’t it. I think folk go anticipating a massive show. But despite this I found it to be a great day out and a taster for the year ahead
