British motorhome owners have more holidays and a more active lifestyle than the average British household, according to a survey by insurance company Shield Total Insurance.
More time off
Half of motorhome owners have twice the national average or more time off, and 18 per cent enjoy more than ten long breaks a year, the report says. Out & About Live.
A total of 44% travel to the continent, with France being the most popular destination. The benefits of motorhome ownership apply throughout the year: 31% use their motorhome over Christmas and New Year and 41% make their first trip in January, February or March.
A lot of joy
"It's good to know that our customers get so much pleasure from owning and using their vehicles. I think we all need to buy a motorhome!" says Stuart Craig of Shield Total Insurance. Now, of course, not everyone can go out and buy a motorhome, but it certainly makes for a free and active lifestyle! It's easy to do mini holidays and you don't have to plan ahead. It's just like rolling away ...

My husband grew up in a caravan. His family always went on caravan holidays when he was little. So it's still true today, it seems.

Nobody can be happier than representatives of motorhome manufacturers when such a survey is presented. And motorhome owners, of course, whose lifestyle choice appears to be the right one.

Then there are tents - and hotels... Well, if you don't like ending up with large vehicles in narrow alleys.

Rolle and Carina, you have had so many wonderful trips with the car, and as you say, what would you have done otherwise?
Lennart, Happy Easter!
BP, interesting long term analysis!
🙂
Steve, I can only agree. These are definitely the kind of statistics that the manufacturers want, and that feel confirming and good for us who have a motorhome. That's what the purpose of producing such statistics is, I guess ...
ActiveDays, but you've got a nice new caravan!
🙂
Ama de casa, exactly... and then there are like hotel tents... in the Sahara
😉
Lena in Wales, what a feeling of freedom!
