The toilets were bad in the crowded areas, but as you got further away from the showground they were spotless. We were forced to stay out of the show behind the grandstand on friday night, and got hot showers and clean toilets albeit in a crap camping spot.
We moved to non-booked area 15 where we had been saved a pitch by Wilecoyote and mob, and the nearby toilets were fine.
The show was as usual, some good deals on accessories but expensive fast food.
The most usual thing of all, was trying to comply with a request from my brother to find a hymer exsis and measure a couple of things in it, such as bed size and head room.
First stop, Hymer UK - Ask a salesman if they had one - answer "No, we don't have one on show" he then hurries away without any explanation.
OK - Lets go to Brownhills, my my, they look busy selling motorhomes, and we find a young girl with a brownhills uniform on. "Have you got an Exsis on show" - "No" - "Err - any reason why not" - "They are sold out!"
Wow - guess it's time to go to the continent.
What a waste - I had a tape measure to check sizes, and a customer for them willing to spend 40k, and they look at you like butter wouldn't melt because we are dragging kids behind us, and possibly the wrong sort of dog.
Sod companies like that - No wonder folk go to Europe, I know my brother will now.
The abundance of left hookers will increase because of the crap attitude of some British motorhome importers.
When you see a Hymer, count how many are left hookers as against RHD models, it's LHD at least 2 to 1, the main reason is that there are many hire fleets that sell off hire fleets in europe cheap and the UK pick them up, but another reason is the shitty attitude of Brownhills and Hymeruk to potential buyers.
Whats is so strange is the efficiency of Hymeruk spares, who I have used extensively, and are probably the most efficient organisation i have ever come across in this field of business, they are awesome.
I Can't understand it, we will buy an Exsis from Germany or nearby early next year,because we can't find a seller in the UK who is interested in selling a 40k van to us, but will have a brilliant backup service for spares from the UK.
What a stupid business plan.

My thoughts on the show: Toilets over used and under cleaned A showground staff issue I think and not Warners this event has been held at York for over 10 years..no excuses!
The dealers I believe are absolutely messing themselves at the moment, I watched a few '06 motorhomes screen price drop dramatically by as much as 6K over the duration of the Show, the reason being the face lift model Ducato is going to hit the dealerships in RHD versions for the new reg out in March, that's only 6mths away, by December this year all vans are a year older, and they are going to have to sell current stock to make room for the new stuff, so if anyone is thinking of upgrading/changing their current motorhome, a bargain is to be had
