FRANCE<br />
France has long been one of the hotbeds of the camping and caravanning<br />
industry in Europe, but even this hugely well-established market is not immune<br />
to new trends. According to a report by UNIVDL, the French RV industry<br />
association, the humble mini-caravan is causing quite the stir in the market<br />
there. The report features input from several industry leaders who all believe<br />
that while the mini-caravan is still a niche market, it is one that is attracting new<br />
people to caravanning, specifically those from a younger demographic or with<br />
less expendable income. Could there be a time where mini-caravans will be on<br />
every campsite in France? Only time will tell.<br />
