Proportion of Motorhomes?

My OH has often commented that there seems to be an increasing number of motorhomes on club sites.  This made me wonder what the approximate ratio of motorhomes to caravans is in the CC.

Is there a figure for this?

I use the M20 five days a week and there seems to be more M/H's than caravans heading to the port ( or at least coast bound)

At Cadeside, (Wellington, Somerset) there are only 16 pitches in total. Last Saturday 14 of the 15 were occupied of which 5 were motor homes and 10 were caravans, a 2 : 1 ratio in favour of caravans.

We were on the Hebden Bridge site last week and the proportion was the same, 2 caravans to 1 motorhome. The site was about half full at the time, and that was midweek. I would suspect that the proportion would change over the weekend with a greater percentage of caravans to M/Hs.

I did see an article saying motorhome sales were up 20% this year but the caravan manufacturers all seemed to be reporting similar sales increases so not sure the proportion has changed a lot.

It all depends whether the new units are being bought to replace an old one or if it's a first time buy. Perhaps the ratio is the same but without the actual facts we'll never know.

Mostly motorhomes on site here, that is until a British rally turned up they are mostly caravans. Funnily on the big sites in Spain caravans were the majority (not Spanish permenant ones) while on overnight sites it was motorhomes.
