I've just been up to a local Caravan business this morning to buy from their shop. They have sold Caravans for many years but started selling Motorhomes this year. There were a line of new Motorhomes on display, about a dozen, before Covid kicked in but this morning there were only three on display – and those are all sold. I was told people are buying up both Caravans and Motorhomes as if there's no tomorrow and by the look of it the dealership are having a very profitable year. It possibly means our Motorhomes are keeping their price well or even exceeding our expected prices – as the Punter said to his Lady friend “You're sitting on a gold mine!” Rock on, Tommy …... i.postimg.cc/jjG8Sbpk/SUNSET-2.jpg

Its only really useful though if you are selling and not getting another one. Chances are like in my case you would be upgrading to a more expensive one and as you say they are like hens teeth and loads more money than they were before Covid. I assumed (wrongly it seems) That come the winter there would be loads on the market at much reduced prices but it doesnt look like thats going to be the case. My gut feeling is this will go on for at least another year now as I see no end to this bollocks in the near future. Oddly it seems to be the same with motorbikes. Every fecking bike I go for is sold by the time I get round to enquiring about it so it looks like ill be sticking with Hank the Tank and me trusty old Vision for now. Who the hell is buying bikes in late October?

My son and his wife bought a new caravan about 6 weeks ago. Whilst browsing the various vans he asked the dealer how business had been during the covid months. " We've sold 40 this month and still a week or so to go" was his answer. He apparently said it with a big smile across his face.

Time to take some options on new builds? Are the options transferable and re-sellable?
