Caravan and Motorhome 2009
The Caravan and Motorhome show 2009 has been taking place this week and if you’re not tempted by our winter camping guide then you may be going to the ‘darkside’ for the winter. Here’s our pick of the show.
Vintage Airstream
Vintage goes for the ‘glamping’ crowd – Launching at the Caravan and Motorhome show, Vintage Airstreams have coined the phrase “carry on glamping” to sell imported vintage airstreams in the UK and Europe.
Founder and CEO Sam Harkness said: “There are a lot of people thinking about coming into camping who want something which reflects their personality, not a white box.” We know people are claiming caravanning is cool Sam, but Bucks Fizz are performing ‘three of their hits’ at the show…
Stealth Caravan
Stealth Caravan Launch – Also launching at the show was the evil looking Stealth Caravan. Alex Murphy, MD of Dunster House, has described his Stealth caravan range as a “Marmite” product.
We’re firmly in the marmite is disgusting camp (although we like Twiglets).

Isn’t that ring of tents joined together a bit of a fire risk? (Sorry to be a killjoy)

I expect so, but have you ever seen camp fires at a festival? It makes the tent ring look like a healthy and safety officers dream.
