Caravanning and camping using appliances and accessories for your camper-van such as a 12v television in Australia is more popular than ever, according to a new report.
A 2011 consumer analysis by the Caravan RV & Accommodation Industry of Australia (CRVA) found that seven million Australians have visited a caravan or holiday park in the last two years and that a further 9.3 million people will go on a camping holiday in the next two years.
Mark Lindsay, Federal Chairman of the CRVA, said: "The strong growth in the caravanning and holiday parks industry shows that Australians are looking to get better value out of their holidays and our industry offers some of the most affordable holiday options in Australia."
He added that sales of motorhomes at industry shows are also better than ever, as more families are taking to the road to explore the country instead of travelling overseas.
The report discovered that 73 per cent of people agreed that caravanning and camping holidays are easy to organise and plan and 57 per cent believed that these holidays are very good value for money.
Recent export sales for vehicles showed that more and more people in Australasia are investing in right-hand drive cars from Britain.
