Ep. 50: Industry Insights: Fiamma - interview with the UK represtentative (Karl) and a visit to its HQ in Milan, Italy, to speak to one of the joint MDs (Charles).
Fiamma supplies accessories (roll-our awnings, bike racks, and much more) to the global RV industry and has stayed a family-run business since it was founded in the 1940s.
During my visit, I saw how much it's been investing in expanding its production facility to meet future demand, plus I also got an interesting insight into its R&D dept.

Ep. 45: The DVSA's survey on towing skills and tuition made me wonder whether compulsory towing training would help or harm the caravan industry. What do you think?
My initial reaction was that it would harm the caravan industry as it creates a barrier to entry, but then I wondered if the tuition would make consumers better equipped - and safer on the roads.

Is the caravan industry taking accessibility seriously? Is it adequately considering the needs of people that require accessibility? Is this an opportunity to attract more people to caravanning and camping?
In this episode, I speak to the young couple behind the website, AdventureWheels.co.uk - Stephen Wills and Karla Baker - who have adapted their caravan to cater for Karla's wheelchair.
Caravanning has enabled them to explore the UK and Euope safe in the knowledge that taking their own accommodation with them means Karla's needs are catered for. It's also enabled Karla to develop a writing career with her website, blogs and travel articles for magazines in the caravan and accessibility sectors.
