Sales of new motorhomes and caravans have been rising for months, but never before have so many new motorhomes been sold in the first three quarters of a year as this year. Caravan sellers are also allowed to squeeze their hands together. The number of new caravans sold in the first nine months of this year is the highest in no less than ten years.
Figures from Kampeer en Caravan Industrie (KCI), de Bovag and RDC show that 2,785 new motorhomes were sold in the first three quarters of this year. A record. Never before have so many new motorhomes been sold in the first nine months of a calendar year. This is no less than 27 percent more than in the same period last year. 2,412 new motorhomes were sold throughout 2020, a number that was already achieved at the end of August this year. The sale of used motorhomes is also logically increasing. The trade in used motorhomes is also increasing. In the first three quarters of this year, 13,462 used motorhomes were sold, 20 percent more than in the same period last year.
Caravan sales are also rising to great heights. With 7,869 new caravans sold this year, the caravan market is doing more than 25 percent better than last year around this time. In the first eight months of this year, the total of last year was already surpassed (6,952 units). 13,027 used caravans have already been sold this year, 6.5 percent more than in the first three quarters of 2020.
The increase in the sale of new caravans and motorhomes, which has been noticeable for months, is partly due to the fact that people want to go on holiday ‘corona-proof’ due to the international corona measures and negative travel advice.
