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 />
