With the new year in full swing Tilshead Caravans have already started filling their show diaries.

The Boat and Caravan Show will be held at the NEC in Birmingham over 23 - 28 February 2010 and will showcase the latest caravans and motorhomes along with accessories, holiday homes and more. Tilshead Caravans have been invited to demonstrate Swift Group caravans on the Swift and Sprite stands over the past few years and will be doing so again this year. If you are going to the Show, whether to see what’s new or to choose your perfect caravan, why not come and meet us? Just ask for ‘James or Owen from Tilshead Caravans’!

For the first time ever, the British Leisure Show is to be held at the Royal Windsor Race Course over 19 – 21 March and will be showcasing everything to do with leisure, from caravans, motorhomes and boats to outdoor activities. With over 300 exhibitors to choose from Tilshead Caravans decided this was not a show to be missed. We will be displaying new caravans from the Swift and Sprite range so for some of the best caravans around why not come along to see us? We are hoping to display at least two brand new models from the Swift Group, available to view for the first time outside the NEC, so come and see what they look like in the daylight!

The Broadlands estate in Romsey will be home once again to the Caravan and Motorhome Show taking place on the 9 – 11 April and after a successful show in 2009, Tilshead Caravans are pleased to be supporting the event again by demonstrating both new caravans and used motorhomes. Remember that our site at Lopcombe, near Salisbury, is only 12 miles from the event so even if the vehicle you are looking for is not at the show, we may still be able to assist you with your ideal caravan or motorhome for purchase or hire.

The Southern Motorhome Show at Newbury is a new event for Tilshead Caravans but we aim to be there to see you over the 21 – 23 May. With an established reputation, easy access and easy to browse outdoor exhibition area, this show guarantees a wide selection of motorhomes for sale along with most accessories and motorhome services you can think of.

With plenty of opportunities to visit Tilshead Caravans at outdoor events in 2010 we hope to welcome you with knowledgeable staff to help you make a right decision when it comes to buying or hiring a caravan or motorhome. However, don’t forget you are always welcome to visit us at our site on the Stockbridge Road (A30) at Lopcombe, on the Hampshire & Wiltshire border! We are open seven days a week all year round.

Following the drawing of the lucky entry in our Open Weekend prize draw, we are pleased to confirm that the winner was Mr B. from the Eastleigh area. He visited us to look at new and used caravans and now has his winning prize of a £150 voucher to spend with us if he finds a caravan to suit him! Congratulations to him and thank you to all our visitors who entered.

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.

Tilshead Caravans have a busy September and October with a number of events planned.

Over the 11 - 13 September is the Motorhome and US RV Show at the Royal Bath & West Showground in Shepton Mallet, where we shall be displaying a selection of used motorhomes, including some nearly new models which we have owned since new and made available to our motorhome hire clients. With full history and offering great savings on a new example we expect these motorhomes to be in demand, especially as numbers are limited.

Our autumn Open Weekend is over 10 & 11 October this year, where we will look to offer our usual free hog roast, demonstrations, bouncy castle, and so on. We hope to have a full range of new 2010 Sprite Caravans to show, including a first look at the new Sprite Musketeer TD layout, along with a selection of the 2010 Swift Caravan models. We will also have a good selection of 2007, 2008 and 2009 used caravans from the Abbey Vogue, Swift Charisma and Sprite ranges from our hire fleet. These offer excellent value for money and with the planned nearly-new awning offers on Ventura and NR Awnings should appeal to many.

The International Caravan and Motorhome Show will be held at the NEC in Birmingham over 13 - 18 October 2009 and will showcase the latest caravans and motorhomes along with accessories, holiday homes and more. Tilshead Caravans have been invited to demonstrate the Swift Group products on the Swift and Sprite stands over the past few years and anticipate doing so again this year. If you are going to the Show to see what’s new, why not come and meet us?
