AROUND THE WORLD<br />
USA<br />
As the month of October passed in 2021,<br />
the year officially became the year that the<br />
RV industry in the United States built more<br />
RVs than ever before. In October 2021 an<br />
eye-watering 57,971 units were shipped,<br />
an increase of 22.5 per cent on October<br />
2020 and 18 per cent up on the best<br />
October ever recorded in 2017. RV Industry<br />
Association president and CEO Craig Kirby<br />
said: “Despite the challenges we have<br />
faced with supply chain and workforce,<br />
what is really remarkable is the way the<br />
RV industry has found ways to overcome<br />
the issues and deliver 12-straight months<br />
of record shipments. We know more and<br />
more people want to get outdoors and<br />
experience the joys of RVing with their<br />
friends and families and our manufacturers<br />
and suppliers have responded impressively<br />
to keep more and more RVs heading to<br />
dealerships every month.”<br />

SPAIN<br />
The Spanish Caravan Industry and <strong>Trade</strong> Association (Aseicar) has been<br />
working in close cooperation with traffic police to crack down on high levels<br />
of fraud and illegal activity involving camping units. The boom in the industry<br />
has been great for Spain, but it has led to some criminals attempting to take<br />
advantage of the situation. It’s been reported that fraudsters have been<br />
importing caravans from other European countries and illegally modifying<br />
their technical inspection cards to reduce their weights so they avoid having<br />
to pass safety checks and can be sold cheap. An awareness campaign has<br />
been started to warn people about the dangers of buying online and also a<br />
checklist of things to look out for. For the latest, visit: www.aseicar.org<br />
