I doubt it. What's happening is the slow down in caravan sales post the COVID boom and the stretch in finance for the Dealers at higher interest rates. Caravan sales are slowing very rapidly and there are very large discounts on unsold 2023 and 2024 models . I have never met anyone who buys a caravan new online.

Jasmo, looking on the bright side!

Sadly, yes, we [GT Towing] are closing the caravan side of our business. Unfortunately, a sheer and increasing lack of demand, particularly in caravan sales, has meant that very soon it would not have been viable or sustainable.

We're in a very fortunate position that our business does not rely solely on the sales of caravans, and this transition has been in the making for a number of years.

By making the decision we have made, it's meant that we're able to expand the other ever growing areas of our business, which do include;

Sales, service, repair & hire of trailers Trailers

Towbar fitting Towbar Fitting

Roof racks, roof boxes, roof tents, bike racks & more GT Towing Adventure

Commercial vehicle solutions GT Towing Commercial

We will still stock the very essential accessories for caravans, so if you need your toilet fluid, your gas, or other travel essentials, our main shop & website will be stocked and ready.

We look forward to welcoming you all again some time soon in the future!

GT Towing Ltd, Great North Road, Hatfield, AL9 5SD - 01707 262526 - gttowing.co.uk



Well I wish you all the best for the future. You fitted a towbar to the Volvo I once owned and sold me a caravan 7 years ago which we are still using despite it now being 32 years old. We have been very happy with it. I have also bought several bits and pieces from you over the years and will be sorry to see you go. Still, should I need a trailer I know where to come.
