Delivery problems and concerns in the motorhome and caravan industry
The National Association of the Caravan Industry (HRF) summarises a half-year that reflects a spring marked by delivery problems due to the corona pandemic, general concern due to the war in Ukraine and concerns about upcoming interest rate increases. Despite this, levels of new caravan and motorhome sales are in line with "normal" if one disregards last year's pandemic effect.
- Caravan registrations for June 2022: 461 caravans (corresponding month 2021: 574 caravans)
- Motorhome registrations for June 2022: 528 mobile homes (corresponding month 202: 738 mobile homes)
Halland and Blekinge break visitor records
Even before the summer has begun, it looks like a record year for the tourism industry in Halland. "The figures from the Swedish Agency for Economic and Regional Growth speak for themselves and the industry indicates that they have more bookings than ever," says Anna Bengtsson, strategist at Visit Halland.
The latest report from the Swedish Agency for Economic and Regional Growth (Tillväxtverket) also testifies to the high pressure for Blekinge. May's figures for commercial guest nights hit a record high for the period with almost 250,000 commercial guest nights, which is almost 20,000 more than the previous best result from 2017.
Events coming up in Summer Sweden
There are many different events organised throughout summer Sweden. Here are some of them:
- Music by water in Söderköping is organised to celebrate the Navy's 500th anniversary, with concerts and canal dances for 6 weeks.
- Wednesdays in Helsingborg will be held on four Wednesdays, starting on 20 July. An opportunity to treat yourself to a nice summer evening.

Reflection of the week
Delivery problems in the motorhome and caravan world are understandable in these times. However, there seems to be no lack of interest in camping life. And so much fun with Campingbio! We hope to catch one of the film screenings later this summer.

BP says:
It is not only the "camping world" that has suffered from delivery difficulties. Even "normal" cars could not be delivered due to the same problem.
I'm glad that Norwegian has recovered, and without scandals and strikes like SAS.

Absolutely true, many have been affected by delivery difficulties! And good reflection, of course you can wonder how it can go so well for Norwegian when SAS still has such big problems ...
