Recent statistics have shown that camping and caravan holidays have increased in popularity by a staggering 20%. While the number of people who holiday abroad has dipped by a quarter.

Pop up tents are currently flying out of various high street stores, as people are preparing to take summer camping trips, or are heading off to enjoy the music festivals.

The main reason for this is because people are feeling the squeeze placed on their finances as the price of petrol, food and utilities have increased. The poor exchange rate in Europe, of the pound against the Euro, and the rise in Air Passenger Duty have also contributed to people choosing to holiday at home this year. Many of the people who took part in the survey reported that they simply did not have a spare £2,000, which is the average cost of a holiday abroad.

If you are heading off in your caravan or motorhome this year, you will need to give your RV a routine maintenance check to prevent any mishaps from spoiling your holiday. While you are doing this, you should always thoroughly test your leisure battery before setting off. If you find that your caravan battery, motorhome battery or even your car battery needs replacing you can find an affordable replacement at Advanced Battery Supplies. Advanced Battery Supplies provide a wide range of batteries- including sealed leisure batteries and boat batterys.

Another reason that has been attributed for the rise in the number of people holidaying under canvas this year is that camping and caravan facilities have come a long way in recent years. Developments in camping equipment mean that it is now possible to purchase large, spacious tents complete with electricity plug in sockets- which allow people to enjoy luxuries such as the use of a laptop, television or hair straightners. The majority of camping sites in Britain have also improved their facilities, so that campers have access to new showers and toilets as well as building various recreational amenities.
