About the report

Jakub Faryś, president of the Polish Automotive Industry Association, says: “ Unfortunately, the latest results show a decrease in the number of registrations of both new and used motorhomes and caravans. Undoubtedly, in addition to the problems with the chassis for delivery vehicles caused, inter alia, by the semiconductor crisis, the overall political and economic situation is of great importance. A camper or caravan is a big investment and many people who would like to spend their holidays in this way, however, refrain from buying. This also applies to rental companies that have developed very dynamically in recent years, and now it is time for them to slow down a bit. It is also not without significance that - as the research shows - a lot of people
in general, it refrained from spending money on holiday trips. Therefore, it should not be expected that the situation will improve significantly in the coming months or quarters, as it does not indicate anything
so that the political and economic situation should improve in the near future
.

 

Sebastian Klauz, vice-president of PGC, publisher of the Polish Caravaning magazine, says: “ The situation on the caravanning market is becoming more and more difficult. The problems of previous months are joined by increasing delivery difficulties with Fiat's base vehicles and unrest at the changes
in the gas economy throughout Europe.

All of this has a huge impact on the production of RVs. Factories are reducing large orders placed by dealers, which in turn causes shortages in supply. In some manufacturers there are cases of order limitations of even 60-70%. Our market is not alone in this.

The most visible decrease is the registration of new motorhomes by 22%, fortunately the results of new caravan registrations look much better, where the decrease is only 0.9%. It is also worth paying attention to the change of the leader in this category. After many years of the HOBBY manufacturer's triumph, the Dethleffs brand has moved to the fore. Noteworthy is also the domestic brand of Niewiadów, which strengthens the third position, with registrations at the level of 95 trailers and growth year on year. Congratulations, 35.7% is a great result!

The trend in the registration of used vehicles is maintained in the first quarter of this year. Among motorhomes we observe a decrease by 18%, and among caravans - by 13.5%. This trend should continue for a long time, sustained by problems with the availability of new vehicles.

All in all, it is hoped that the coming quarters will help to maintain last year's sales ” .

Greece - Hey Ho Adventure!
On Thursday morning Tomek called -Hey. Fast action, are we going to Greece on Wednesday? How could I say no ?! Especially when the Easter turn of winter only persuaded to flee towards the sun, sea, beach and rocks. The plan was this: we fly to the island of Kos, from there we sail to Kalymnos, the Greek climbing Mecca (over 1000 climbing routes). We had a few days to organize everything, a weekly return flight with Ryanair cost about PLN 900 for both of us, including additional luggage and the rest of the fees, accommodation in this period costs 25 euros for a studio for two people (20 euros for one), we found it for 18 euros and packing, which was not so easy looking at the weather outside the window. There was a snowstorm in Krakow on Wednesday morning. We sat in the plane for over an hour waiting for the plane to be cleared of snow and we could take off. There was stress drowned out by thoughts of sunny Greece. Luuhuu, finally around 11:15 we managed to take off. Around 1:30 pm the turbulence started, we circled something and we landed. What some people started to clap -So Polish. After a while it turned out that we are not in Kos at all, but in Crete. We were told it was just a stopover, they would refuel the plane and we were going on, because there are bad weather conditions over Kos: wind, rain and all the rest. After less than an hour of sitting on the plane, we got new information from the captain - We're going back to Krakow! We will not land in Kos today, you will fly tomorrow. That's when the atmosphere started to get hot! It looked dramatically hilarious. The babies started to get into a row, especially the one who wanted to rebel all passengers against the service. She exclaimed, "Let's not be fooled!" We will not fly anywhere tomorrow! Come on everyone, let's get off here in Crete! The children began to cry, parents exchanged diapers, flight attendants carried water. This atmosphere lasted for about 2 consecutive hours. There were newer and newer information from the captain all the time, incl. that today there is a storm over Kos, so nothing will land there, that there are ferries on strike today, so nothing is sailing. Passengers discussed what to do, called family and friends who checked possible connections from Crete.
