Thank you Conrad - it was for many years the guide and that was it a guide to prices but other useful info to - I can look at them for hours - that elusive 5k other YT are getting that and more per video!!
Hi Andy, nice Vlog the old social media advertising has done away with the caravan and car price guide books nowadays. I do hope you keep your caravan and get back out for a few trips this year. For you not to have a caravan would be like cutting of one of your arms.
hI Kevin thanks yes its all gone crazy not helped by the Covid boom then high prices bust - so left a big hole and pricing just gone strange. Yes I hope I can get a trip away but it needs work and that depends on costs - thanks as always Kevin
Hi Andy brilliant vlog. Is sad about Glass's guides going (have they gone altogether or have they just stopped doing the caravan ones?). I am jealous you were given copies - every time I asked dealers near me could I have even an old copy they always said " Oh no see that cover - CONFIDENTIAL trade only". Also reminds me that years ago there used to be a marketing company on the next floor down from my wife's office that, much like Glass' guides, did an in depth analysis of the caravan industry again I did ask could I have a copy but I seem to remember that being for the trade you needed a subscription that ran to hundreds of pounds!! Hope you don't sell the caravan - your Bailey is an icon, I have taken ours out on my own in the past. Take care Nige
Hi Nigel - thank you - yes it was a bible and I must have around 60 plus copies last one 2014 - but the older ones gave a trade insight to what was happening generally - I have been luckly over the years knowing dealers for many years and folk who passed them on to me years ago. Yes a hefty fee was the order of the day and sales people wouldnt let them out of their sight! Thanks for that info Nigel and the feedback - Andy
I am shocked selling your caravan leaving Caravan club please don’t how can you be an expert without either. Stop think again update caravan if wanted but don’t sell.
Hi Colin - many writers dont own a caravan and those that do its more of a badge. I am going to wheel it out in March see whats what try and get the wife interested again in it and find if possible cheap sites - dont dispair yet !!!
@@bizarremagick I didnt like to say ! thanks but I understand the comment of Colins I know plenty that are in the industry yet dont use a caravan or motorhome - Ive done statics, campervan motorhome and caravans - but as you kindly say decades of following this industry wont vanish!
Andy, another great vlog, lots of info regarding the glass's guide. Some nice memories for you too.
Hope you reach your 5k subs soon.
Conrad

Not having a caravan doesn't wipe out decades of knowledge of the industry.
