What grows exponentially every year, is 15 000m², has over 900 exhibitors with more than 350 companies displaying their wares? You guessed it… the 2020 Caravan Show that took place at Gallagher Estate in Johannesburg from 21 - 23 February. What a show it was! Filled to the brim with a full selection of caravan, motorhome, camping, and outdoor delights.
Caravan & Outdoor Life magazine has officially partnered with the Caravan Show and this joint venture is only going to have a positive spinoff in years to come. After chatting to organiser Hampie de Kock, it is clear that this year record attendance numbers were achieved, with 32 665 feet through the door - an impressive growth of 7 500 attendees from last year’s gate figures. This is good news for the caravan, off-road trailer, motorhome, and outdoor industry, and suggests that the market is still very buoyant.
