We use a great Folding Camper, but are on the look-out for a Caravan.

In the 1990's the market for Folding Campers was from February to June .... after that, everyone who wanted to buy have done and the market goes stone dead.

How does it currently work with regards Caravans? I'm guessing that we are fast approaching the time when it's too late to buy for the family holiday?

Does it go dead from now until 1st September, when 2013 Caravans are sold?

Certainly ebay prices are cheaper Oct-Dec but they pick up from Jan. Dealer forecourt prices are not really lower in winter up to Xmas but you will get a better deal at that time, even if its extras chucked in with price. Caravans sell all through summer, you can buy one & go away in it tomorrow.

There is a big choice ... we started looking about 4 months ago, it was very quiet then.

About 2 months ago lot's of stock was getting sold ..... in the past 2 weeks it seems like vans are sticking again.

I was just wondering if there was a 'good' selling season ... and when that 'good' season ends?

As I have missed the best time to sell my Camper - I would like to hit the downturn in the Caravan sales market .... if there is one, that is!
