CELTIC RAMBLER IS A SMASH HIT

 

We’ve had road rage, air rage and trolley rage – but now there’s a new phenomenon.

It’s viewing rage provoked by the eye-catching contours of an American-style caravan made in North Wales.

The luxurious Celtic Rambler is the only British-built fifth wheel caravan on the market and stole the show when she made her UK debut at a major show at the NEC in Birmingham.

 

Jenny Parry-Jones, from the Fifth Wheel Company, in Rhuallt, Denbighshire, said that for most of the show there was a huge queue of people wanting to take a closer look at the caravan.

“On most days we were getting about a 1,000 people and we even witnessed something we’d never seen before – viewing rage.”

 

“A couple of ladies started hitting each other with shopping bags over who was going to get into the Celtic Rambler first.”

 

The Celtic Rambler was also a smash hit with the trade press at the National Boat, Caravan and Outdoor Show.

Peter Sharpe, editor of the magazine, Caravan, Motorhome and Camping, said: “Every show has its talking point and this year it had to be the Fifth Wheel Company’s Celtic Rambler.”

 

Sonja, who runs the caravan and camping website, http://www.touringandtenting.com, was also mightily impressed.

She said: “We thought the Celtic Rambler was brilliant, a real show-stealer which made a huge impact at the show and lots of our members are talking about it. We also very much liked the fact that it is British and independently built.”

 

The Fifth Wheel Company is very much a family business involving Jenny and her husband Mervyn, together with their children, Ceri and Adrian.

The sumptuous caravan is towed by a pick-up truck - the fifth wheel is the term for the coupling that attaches the two together.

 

The family were thrilled at the impact they made at the show.

Jenny said: “It was tremendous, just unbelievable. We hoped that things would go well but we never expected such a fantastic response and the sheer amount of people.”

“We were well and truly launched at the NEC and we are on Cloud Nine – it was an overwhelming experience.”

Ceri added: “Even the salesmen from rival companies were drooling -

they couldn’t believe it was British because the quality was so good.”
