I’M HERE! The Caravan Camping and Motorhome Show NEC Birmingham

I'm here! At the Caravan Camping and Motorhome Show 2022 taking place at the NEC.
The show runs from Tuesday 22nd February until Sunday 27th February 2022, but don't turn up without a ticket because the show is SOLD OUT on pre-sales.
In this quick update I give you all an update on my brother (thank you all those who sent kind wishes) and also REALLY EXCITING news about being on the telly!
Don't forget to come and say 'Hellooo!' if you see me at the show, I'll be giving talks in the Inspirations Theatre and also available to chat on the Camper Van Advice Centre in Hall 5 on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday.
SEE YOU THERE! :)

Twelve months on I,m 90% better, hence the new pup and campervan on order, three months booked in Spain for winter, and a new boat. I,m living for today.

    My understanding from watching the YT channels from motorhome retailers and caravan retailers that most of the planned to be assembled stock for this model year is all but sold out already - if so one wonders why the show would go ahead?

  • @andrewjditton

    @andrewjditton

    2 жыл бұрын

    It depends on the definition of ‘sold out.’ Almost all stock is ‘sold out’ meaning that it’s allocated to a dealer, not necessarily an end customer. I think a lot of it will be to do with luck of the draw - you might catch a 2022 production run by a few weeks, it might be months, it could be 2023 season. But at least people can make shortlists and compare notes between dealers and brands all in one place. Remember that most car shows are not sales events but they are also very popular. It’s not just about sales - there are some cool talks to go to as well ;)
