are finding that Americans want to combine their enduring love of RVs (‘recreational vehicles’ is the American term for motorhomes or campervans) with their love of all things Irish by choosing a camper van holiday in Ireland.
Despite the difficult economic climate around the world, perhaps even because of it, Americans still represent a good portion of Celtic Campervans’ customer base. That’s because a self-drive holiday in Ireland is one of the most cost-effective ways to see the country, and doing so in a Celtic Campervan provides a holiday that’s great quality, freedom and value.
Known for having some of the best customer service in the world, Americans are choosing this helpful, knowledgeable and friendly family company in part due to a similar commitment to outstanding service. Another factor, according to Managing Director Stephen Bradshaw, is the motorhomes themselves: “Our customers from the US regularly comment on the high standard of our fleet of campervans. Some were initially worried that motorhomes for hire in Ireland would not compete with American RVs – especially the customers who owned their own RVs back home – but we enjoy great feedback on the spaciousness, luxury and power of our motorhomes”.
A recent survey of RV owners by the Recreation Vehicle Industry Association in America found that RV travel both in and outside of the United States is enduringly popular among their countrymen. According to the survey, RVers plan to be on the move during major holidays, with 58 percent planning to travel over Memorial Day weekend and 60 percent over July 4th. Those Americans who want to travel outside of the US for their holiday can still enjoy the RV lifestyle and get to holiday abroad on a budget with Celtic Campervans.
Canadians seem to share this love of the open road, with Alana Fontaine, spokesperson for Go RVing Canada, stating recently that RV shows across the country this year have had record attendance. Canadians are becoming increasingly attracted to the vacation style as it often costs much less than other holidays, she said. "More and more Canadians are realising the value that RV vacations offer, and in these times when the economy is the way it is, Canadians are still going to want to experience holidays and there's no better way to do it than an RV," Fontaine said.
Celtic Campervans look forward to welcoming some of those Canadians and Americans who want to combine their love of RVs with their love of international travel. If you would like to find out more about this popular way of seeing Ireland, then visit www.celticcampervans.com.
