Friday was a visit to the caravan show Scotland. As usual, they’d taken over the whole SECC. <\/p>\n
Firstly there was a trip to the accessory and awning hall. I’d heard that Duncan’s Caravans where showing off an easy erect motorhome awning. I watched the demo of the Quest Elite Instant Motorhome Awning and was very impressed. All the poles are fixed to the fabric so it is just a case of clicking them into place and it is standing up. Also on display at Duncan’s stand was a caravan awning that used columns of air instead of poles to hold it up. Just attach pump (or compressor) and it would be standing in no time. <\/p>\n
After the Accessory hall, I took a wander through the static caravans and lodges. Fantastic some of them, bigger than my flat and very luxurious. If you find a spot that you love, these would be perfect. And there were plenty of sites trying to tempt you. <\/p>\n
Didn’t spend too much time in the caravan hall, some very lovely units in display but as a confirmed (for now) motorhome-er I wasn’t that interested. <\/p>\n
The motorhome hall though was full of very shiny and nice stuff. Hymer were present showing off their A-class units. Very opulent inside but with a price of close to \u00a370000 to match. <\/p>\n
A new dealer, Border Cars from Ayrshire were in attendance. They’ve only been dealers for about 10 months but they had a big stand and some very nice kit on display. They had a Globecar van conversion on a Transit base which is quite unusual these days with most motorhomes on Ducato\/Boxer bases. <\/p>\n
Tyne valley motorhomes had the van that if I ever decided to sell Harmony, I’d want. This was an Autocruise Jazz. Smallish van conversion but with all mod cons. Looked lovely. \u00a338000. <\/p>\n
After drooling and the vans, there was a trip to Warwickshire Clothing’s stand for some bargains on Craighopper trousers and a fleece then it was back to the accessory hall for a new water carrier and water hose then home. <\/p>\n
All in all, a good day out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
