We have been for the last couple of years and are going again on Saturday. They usually have plenty of caravans and motor homes to look at, although in previous years we have been disappointed by the lack of accessories and awnings.

They say this year is 40% bigger, with an extra hall, so hopefully it will have improved.

We have always had free tickets, including this year thanks to a very kind person on here. Not sure it is worth the price to pay on the door though.

Oh dear, won't be there for long judging by the above! We went last year and we were disappointed but was hoping that it would be better this year as they've increased the space.

Am interested to see the Rimor range of caravans and Adria have come on board this year too!

Well we are just back - we had a pleasant 2½hrs milling around.  Really liked the Pegasus Ancona, not sure its for us but didn't feel cramped as I thought and the lockers are so big Im not sure storage would be too big a problem either.  I think my favourite was the changes to the Swift Challenger triple bunk, liked the furnishings & the bathroom and the front seats are still a good size, only thing is its now 1600kgs!!  Still nothing to sway us from our lovely Lunar, especially as there wasn't much under £16k quite satisfying to walk away still in love with our van and knowing we got such a good deal.

I didn't see any towbar fitters though Vanessa but I may not have noticed.

My biggest gripe was the disgusting behaviour of the Gullivers Girls in the kids area.  My children queued for absolutely ages for a goody bag and a balloon only to be told by the girls that they had given enough balloons away for today and that they were saving the rest for the next day!!  They stood there uninterested as my 3 year old son who was desperate for a balloon sword turned blotchy with tears - OH gave them a calm but stern talking to but in the end we just walked away and left them to it - shan't be bothering with them again!!!

We enjoyed our visit to the show and thought the Swift stand was very good with most models on display, notably the Sterling Eccles Quartz, the caravan of my dreams! There was much more there this year which was good and it was quite busy.

We then went to the Chinese quarter and had lunch, lovely.

only gripe was the bloke from the n power stand not understanding the word no

npower told us to find another supplier as our supply was too cheap and the tariff we were on with them has come to the end.the lad at the show did not believe us when we told him of this.
