Might be a silly question but how easy is it to walk around these places? I guess what I'm asking is can you just walk in and out of all the vans they have or are you usually accompanied? We're at the very beginnings of our search and don't particularly want a sales person following us around!

I find it varies depending on how busy it is and how many staff they have.

If its busy they may leave them open instead of people asking them to open it every 5 minutes.

If its quiet they may escort you around and ask you questions to help you choose something suitable.

You can usually go into all the vans at Glossop. You will get asked if you want help but, in my experience, they dont hassle you too much.

Greetings,

Never been to Glossop Caravans (but I have read the various comments on this forum)

On entering Highbridge Caravans at, guess where, Highbridge, in Somerset, there's a sign that says, words to the effect, probably the biggest caravan dealer in the South West.

I've just been on their website. At this moment in time they've got, 83 new 'vans, 189 used 'vans with 77 'vans due in. All in all 354.
In addition to this they've got 47 new motorhomes, 62 used motorhomes with a further 21 due in.
On top of this they've a dozen tow cars for sale, a further dozen folding campers (both new and used) and a further 9 trailer tents.

If they're not the biggest dealer in the country I'd like to know who is.
I write this with no tie to the Company (other than the fact that they negotiated a repair on my one month out of warranty 'van with Lunar.) Something that I'm happy to shout about

Thanks for all the replies. Paid a visit to Glossop caravans yesterday (Friday) and was really impressed by the quality and volume of units site however the prices of the lower end of the range was quite high for what you get. For £1,000 you can pick up a unit that would go for about £400 in a private sale but still it was well worth a look if only to see whats out there
