The International Caravan & Motorhome Show is currently in full swing at the NEC in Birmingham and Tilshead Caravans have again been invited by the Swift Group to demonstrate and sell their caravans at the show.

If you are looking to visit the show, please do say hello to James and Owen on the Swift and Sprite caravan stands and if you are considering purchasing a caravan at the show and are local to us here at Lopcombe on the Hampshire/Wiltshire border, please bear us in mind to assist you. Just ask at the reception desk on the Swift Group caravan stand if you can’t see us!

Tilshead Caravans had a successful weekend at the Motorhome & US RV Show at Shepton Mallet. Blue skies and warm temperatures meant visitors were able to enjoy the weekend to the full.

All dealers reported brisk sales, and with many still reporting a shortage of used motorhomes available for sale, it seems the popularity of motorhoming continues to rise.

Please do visit the event website for more details and photographs of the event and if you missed us this time, see Tilshead Caravans at the Outdoor Leisure Show at Shepton Mallet over 8 - 10 January 2010.

Tilshead Caravans held a successful Open Weekend over 10 – 11 October, at which visitors were able to view a selection of the 2010 Swift Caravan ranges alongside a wide range of used caravans and used motorhomes for sale.

As usual, in accordance with our belief that our special events should backed up by genuine offers, all used caravans were discounted by up to £795 for the weekend, there were offers on all PowrTouch movers, accessories as diverse as cleaning products, televisions and caravan covers, with nearly new motorhomes for sale offered with special free packages including Fiamma awnings, Sigma alarm systems and half price Fiamma cycle racks.

Bearing in mind the event was held slightly later in the year than usual, due to limited availability on both new and used caravans during September, Saturday dawned bright and sunny and the warm weather continued throughout the day, whilst visitors on Sunday were greeted with rather more damp conditions which sent us all scurrying for cover at times! Nevertheless, the free hog-roast and bouncy castle were well received and with free refreshments all day, visitors were able to relax and wander the site at their own pace.

We are pleased to report that both caravan and motorhome sales were strong, with the nearly new Abbey & Swift Group caravans featuring fixed beds particularly popular with buyers. New caravan sales levels were encouraging, especially when many potential buyers had already made plans to visit the International Caravan and Motorhome Show at the NEC immediately after the weekend. The 2010 Swift Caravans range was generally very well received and the newly revamped 2010 Sprite Caravans models were especially popular with families, although the eagerly anticipated Sprite Musketeer TD layout will not be available to view until later in the year.

The draw for the £150 voucher to be spent with us is due to be made by Harry (age 4) & Molly (age 2), as Tilshead Caravans is of course a family business, on Friday 16 October and we shall post (brief) details of the winner here and let you know how he or she decided to spend the money in due course……………….

Finally, all the team at Tilshead Caravans would like to thank all those who visited us for helping to make the weekend such fun and we sincerely hope it was a worthwhile visit for all. We look forward to seeing many of you again in the future.
