Go Caravan Chic This Summer
August 20th, 2009 by JulieCaravans are officially in! Caravan Chic is the new craze and are not old fashioned and dire as many presume. In fact, the Daily Mail reports that “they are in danger of becoming trendy”.
The Caravan Club has recently reported sales up by 40 percent from last summer, and there is a celebrity look to caravanning with Mark Owen, Nell McAndrew and Helen Mirren amongst fans of the caravan which is re-inventing itself and revitalising the industry.
The new trend in caravans can comes as many 50-65 year olds are looking to downsize for retirement and the traditional caravans are not any more on the radar. People want luxury chic, at a price which is affordable. Many of the new ‘designer’ caravans are designed as permanent homes. While living in a caravan may not be everyone’s idea of the perfect abode, looking at some pictures I can see why it may appeal to some people.
I went travelling around Australia back in 2003 and we met a couple in their mid fifties who were travelling in a designer chic caravan. We on the other hand did 26,000 km round Oz in a Ford Falcon. Next time I might be tempted to do the trip in style…check out the pics below:
