I agree.  This is also my local shop.  Very friendly and helpful.  Have bought lots of stuff from them.  Doubt you will have any problems.  Go for it

dilligaf67 ----- its my local shop too but i think we must be going to different ones .... they are the most unhappy and miserable people i know ... never had a smile out of them yet ... however the place is fantastic but would be better if they would crack a smile once in a while!

I can recommend United British Caravans  

Bought our 2nd tent, a Sunncamp Vario 5 from them last year.  Having used the tent once, we bought a caravan from them this year.  Will be selling the tent on ebay soon  so shame you chose the Vario 6

Hi, united british caravans is a great place to go.

we bought our sunncamp from there, and it was reduced. 

We have just bought a tin tent, so went to united british caravans on saturday and got all the kit we needed plus more, for a lot less than anywhere else.

If you could mbabco i would make the trip up, as they have all the tents on display.

For camping equipment i would not go anywhere else.

Yes, have to agree. They are our local shop and I have never found anywhere cheaper. We were there yesterday looking for a smaller tent for just us without child and asked advice about getting our big one repaired. the man was sooooo helpful, even gave me the numer of the repairer they used, I thought they would try to sell us another big one. Highly recommend them.

Maybe you caught them on a bad day Amy.  I went there a few weekends ago and it was really really busy.  Tried asking a couple of the assistants for advice but didn't get very far so went home.  Returned on the Monday to try again and the assistant remembered me.   First thing she did was apologise for not being more helpful the day before.  They had a caravan promotion on and had been rushed off their feet all weekend.  She couldn't have been more helpful, answered all my questions and kept apologising for my previous visit.

Glad you are happy with your purchase Claire.  Happy camping!

I'm sure it's not you Amy.  You never know...maybe the manager reads this site....he could have a 'smile at customers' day instead of a caravan promotion.  Bet it would be just as good for business
