Latest news and events in the world of static caravans, holiday lodges and park homes.
The weather may have been dreary with rain and strong winds and the economic outlook poor but every company we spoke to at the Caravan Extravaganza show in Cottingham, and the show at the adjacent golf club was very upbeat about the future whilst accepting that for the next 12 months at least, things are going to be pretty tough.
Leisuredays, and our sister company Caravan Guard, have been added to the “Hall of Fame” on the consumer website saynoto0870.com, thanks to our pledge to make customer calls as cheap as possible.
