Live from the Caravan, Camping and Motorhome Show

In both these cases the tow bars had come dethatched from the vehicles   

Possibly there is some confusion coming in here, this Channel 5 case involved a totally fixed tow bar, tow hook installation?

 Not every vehicle has a "fixed" tow ball.  In the programme one could see two bolts holding the tow ball onto the tow bar.

When I had a trailer detach I was fortunately just moving it in my yard, but as it was rear heavy the hitch came clean off the ball and the loop of cable jumped off as well.

"When I had a trailer detach I was fortunately just moving it in my yard, but as it was rear heavy the hitch came clean off the ball and the loop of cable jumped off as well."

Which in that case is exactly what is likely to happen if the hitch comes uncoupled, lifting off because the trailer is rear heavy, will likely also lift off the cable.

AH  Well,  Now it's time to build my self up ready for the NEC in October ~~ If only to see if the show really is as bad as was the TeleBox Programme this F F February  

Well I did not bother with this Octobers Show, But I see that the Club is flogging tickets for the February 2023 Show.    Hmm, to go or not to go,  that is the Question  !

We'll probably go as it's only 25 min from home...

I attended the show on Tuesday and was disappointed however I acknowledge that I was looking to view Swift brand caravans in particular. Disappointment, there were no Swift caravans nor were there any caravans on display from their main retailers. I asked a number of reps. No, they aren’t here this time was the reply. 

If I was looking for a campervan then the numbers present appear to multiply each year. Maybe in a couple of years it will be renamed as the Campervan and Caravan Show. 

I was considering changing my 2023 campervan for a new caravan. I guess I will have to seek out the main Swift agents. BTW has anyone any information as to why Swift wasn’t present? Are they struggling?
