So, where is good to go for your first forays out in your new or long-stored caravan, campervan or motorhome? Well, our good friends at World of Caravans, Campervans and Motorhomes have some great ideas for you.
Just a few weeks to go until the next stage of no-lockdown when (in England) most campsites will be open again for you to visit.
And it was great news in The Budget last week that VAT will remain at reduced rates for the next 12 months for Hospitality with the 5% rate applicable to campsites until September.
Engineer Aftercare Warranty are also pleased to work with an excellent destination in Widdecombe Park in the ‘British Riviera’ of Torquay and Paignton. A family site, you are guaranteed a warm welcome from Thelma, Gordon & the team.
Join a Caravan, Campervan or Motorhome club
There are a whole host of clubs to join, and there are 2 main clubs with Caravan & Camping Club and Caravan & Motorhome Club. But, there are also lots of smaller clubs that can be even more fun as they are generally more personal and friendly due to their size. Engineer Aftercare Warranty is partnered with 3 clubs: Coachman Owners Club, Auto-Trail Owners Club and Burstner Owners Club. If you think why should I bother? You would be wise to read on!
Clubs are excellent places to hugely enhance your ownership and enjoyment in touring, and here is why:
- They dont cost a great deal to join annually
- Clubs are a great place to find out more about your new vehicle, there are likely to be many owners with the same or like models
- Clubs host a range of UK and EU events and tours to join
- Enjoy instant affinity with other owners and make friends fast
- Find out technical details, source problem solving and more
- Get discounts and other benefits from club membership
