Caravanning still a favourite way to holiday says caravan insurer

Oct. 22, 2014 - PRLog -- The latest research* from caravan insurance specialists Cover4Caravans.co.uk (http://www.cover4caravans.co.uk/) has revealed that caravanning is still a firm favourite, with over three-quarters of Brits saying they have stayed in, or plan to stay in, a caravan within the coming year.

The study compared results to the same set of questions asked 18 months ago**, to see whether perceptions of caravanning, as well as destinations, have changed.

The survey showed:

72% have caravanned in the UK, while 18% have holidayed both in the UK and abroad;
18% of people have been to Europe in a caravan – this is almost double (9.8%) the amount since March 2013**;
compared to 18 months ago, only 16% of people were worried about the cost of a caravan holiday (previously it was 24%);
males favour caravanning more than their female counterparts (79% vs. 73%);
the most prolific caravanners live in the North of England and Scotland.

The most common reason cited by 18% for not wanting to go on a caravan holiday was that the facilities are “too basic” compared to 49% in March 2013. 14% said that caravanning has a stigma attached to it (previously this was 8%).
