"Devon Motor Caravans

We've been manufacturing motor caravans for other twenty-one years at our Sidmouth-based factory. For all of that time, we have been officially approved converters on the Volkswagen - a tribute to the high quality of design and craftsmanship of our products.

The famous Devon Caravette was Britain's Brand leader, well ahead of its rivals, since we have produced a succession of motor caravan conversions which have established our position as a leader in this market.

Our design department has developed new styles and contemporary fittings, keeping pace with requirements of the very substantial caravan and camping market.

Production facilities

We have developed our production facilities to an extant that we are largely self sufficient. We mould and assemble our own Devon patent elevating roof. Our woodwork and metal shops are planned for flowline production and metal fittings and furnishings are made and finished to rigorous standards. We cut and fit windows, lay carpets and trim finish our products with a care which has been the hallmark of Devon from the very beginning.

Customer Conversions

In addition to the manufacture of new motor caravans, we are geared to handle the conversion of customers' own vehicles, both new and used. For this particular demand we have introduced a new, less luxurious conversion which meets the need for a more basic motor caravan. We achieved this without inhibiting our standards of high quality, which are evident in all our products.

Exports

We have developed an increasing export trade to Europe and Devon motor caravans are selling well in France, Holland and Belgium. We plan to extend markets overseas where our products are competitive in price and quality, and we have created good working relations with the main distributors which augurs well for the future.

Marketing

In the UK we market Devon motor caravans through the authorised dealer network. For example, our conversions on Volkswagen are stocked and sold at your Local VW Dealer."

Its a shame that in 1987 a few years after this statement, the company folded and the name was bought out and is now being used by another company at the other end of the country, miles and miles away from Devon.
