We have just come back from an absolutely fantastic week at the NEC motorhome show where we had a small stand for the first time ever. We were completely overwhelmed by the response we received as we spent the whole time talking!
We reckon that we spoke to at least 500 fellow motorhomes and shared lots of stories about motorhoming in general, specific holidays and campsites, ferry crossings, insurance, breakdowns, eating out, finding cheap diesel and fixing Thetford toilets.
Over 100,000 people visited the show and the buzz was amazing. Saturday was particularly busy with over 20,000 visitors, most of whom at least walked past our stand. People were queuing to get in about an hour before the doors even opened. We were allowed in from 8am and it is a fascinating experience to wander around before the crowds descend on the halls.
We were really happy to see many of our customers and are also pleased to welcome new customers booking this year. At the end of the show we were completely cream-crackered but had almost as much fun as we do when we are on tour.
In a slight diversion from our normal postings, we are using this week's post to admit that we have finally succumbed to the 21st Century and got a Facebook page. So now you can "find us on Facebook" as people say!
We will be using it to post up lots of photographs from our trips, which might give you inspiration for a trip of your own. We will also be 'liking' things such as campsites, ferry companies, motorhome engineers and so on.
We are particularly keen on posting reviews of campsites that we use personally and as part of the business. A decent campsite really can make or break your day. In all the years we have travelled we have only had a few duff ones. Some have been exceptional and it would be good to spread the word.
So if you are already on it, please consider taking a look at it, liking us, sharing us.
