In a first for the industry, Britain’s favourite family holiday company has worked with leading manufacturer Willerby to produce ‘The Vision’, a holiday home which incorporates a raft of environmentally-friendly features.
Anna will be sharing her enthusiasm for the new holiday home on Saturday 21st May when she tours Haven’s four holiday parks in Norfolk, where local residents, holidaymakers and holiday home owners will be able to able to meet the bubbly celebrity face to face.
Anna said, ‘Eco-tourism is a major player in changing the way we live our lives and the more we adapt and change our own practice the better it is for the planet. Holidaying in the UK is not only fun but it’s also better for our carbon footprint. I love the idea of taking this one step further by buying a caravan that has such low impact on the environment.’
The new eco-van will produce savings of at least 45% in electricity and gas costs with huge benefits for reducing carbon emissions and saving energy costs.
From the outside the new van looks similar to many other holiday homes but Willerby say that the secret lies in the most sophisticated insulation ever installed in a luxury, static caravan. The insulation, including walls, ceilings and floors, provides similar layers of protection as bricks and mortar, taking the holiday home industry to a new level. ‘The Vision’ also includes double-glazing, 100% energy efficient lighting and water saving devices throughout.
Anna was delighted that the caravan combines unrivalled eco-credentials with a very stylish interior. She added, ‘I love the way it looks. It’s very contemporary and stylish but still very welcoming. The lovely earthy colours give it just the right feel.’
The caravan comes complete with free standing furniture, integrated kitchen appliances, a king size bed, space saving fold-under twin beds and a fully fitted bathroom complete with corner bath.
Demand for purchasing the new eco-friendly caravans is already high as potential new and existing owners seek out a holiday home that will make significant savings in energy costs without compromising on style and comfort.
Dave Corlett, General Manager of Hopton Holiday Village said: “This is a first for the industry and a real demonstration of Havens’ commitment to environmentally-friendly practices.’
He added, ‘Owning a caravan on one of our parks is in itself a commitment to a sustainable holiday choice, avoiding air travel in favour of regular holidays closer to home. We are confident that both new and existing Owners will opt for the advanced eco-benefits of ‘The Vision’, saving costs and further minimising their impact on the environment.’
