less traders at 2009 shows Forums

Do you think that the tough trading climate will result in the end of the smaller traders we see at the motorhome shows?

I really enjoy the diversity and specialist products brought to the "accessories" areas by the independent traders.I also believe they keep the prices keen, what a shame if the choice decreases.

I wouldn't expect to see the smaller traders diminish in number, they have low overheads. Unless the organisers get even more greedy than they have this year. I have heard some say that they cannot afford to attend so many shows. Newbury doesn't look too healthy.
Biggest worry is how many MH dealers and manufacturers will still be around?

On the evidence of last Feburary's show in Glasgow we are seriously considering not going next February Shocked

This would be our first failure to attend in the last 7 years and we have bought 2 new MHs there over the years.

It was the lack of MH dealers and exhibits that put us off.
