Talking to some campervan sales man at newbury and they said the whole camping industry as regards caravans and motor homes was in full recession due to petrol and finance worries, seems tenting is back in fashion

Or caravans like ours (see gallery) that can be towed with a small family car, is economical to run and gives us all the comforts of a caravan without the headaches of having to be followed by a road tanker everytime we go on a trip.

Surprisingly I doubt that the fuel consumption on your outfit will be much better than what I get from My Mondeo TDCi towing a 1450kg caravan. I get 35mpg ( sometimes more ) towing and about 52 mpg on reasonable length ( 20 miles or so ) trips, about town I get 45mpg.

The trouble isnt the price, its the fact that most people that want to either upgrade or start caravanning have already done so and therefore the demand for vans in June is lower.

Add that to the struggling economy and there's two valid reasons.
