    I think there will be plenty of people, a lot of them first time buyers, continuing to look at holidays in the UK.

    If you've not had a caravan before then any increase won't be noticed. If someone stuck 2% on a new car, same model as I currently drive, I wouldn't know it.

    If the market isn't there to support then the price will have to drop, maybe eat into the dealers commission.

    In addition those existing caravanners who have a foreign manufactured unit may well see higher increases after Brexit.

    Not worth buying in the present circumstances.

    Current demand has put used and new caravan and motor home prices up. Totally unrealistic and people will soon see they have paid over the top when trying to sell or part exchange.
