About Blue Sky Recreation Limited
Blue Sky Recreation is a Redditch based company, with a national customer base, sourcing, procuring and refurbishing Pennine and Conway folding campers.
Blue Sky Recreation Limited Description
Blue Sky started out refurbishing Pennine folding campers, either for general resale, or to specific customer specifications. It rapidly became apparent, that the most difficult aspect of this work was sourcing the parts required.
In view of this, we began to source and manufacture our own parts, using, wherever possible, the original suppliers to Pennine themselves. We also procure and re sell second hand and refurbished parts and accessories.

Another quick promo, with a few pictures of some of the Blue sky projects over the years. The models pictured ranged from £250 to £2,500, so you don't need to spend a fortune to make the most of this gorgeous weather.
Not long to go till the first England game of the knockout rounds, so time for a blatant football themed promo. ;)
Quick slide show of a 2006 Pennine Fiesta. This particular unit is, currently, in stock.
Yup. Here we go again. Another quick guide to towing weights. Incredibly, confusion seems as rife as ever regarding what we can and can't, legally, tow on our licences and with our chosen tow cars. Of course, we have, already, covered all aspects of towing in various previous articles, but it seems that the most common sources of confusion remain how we calculate what our car can tow, and what we can, ourselves, tow on our own driving licence.

Nothing like getting in nice and early. Happy new year to all our customers, members and friends in the folding camper and trailer tent world. :)
Merry Christmas All. Roughly another 120 sleeps till the start of the main season. ;)
A pretty rare (they were only made in 1998) Conway Excel. A uniquely designed folding camper with a hint of trailer tent. The compact kitchen unit can be removed, and used in the awning. Unlike most compact 4 berth folding campers (this weighs just 600kg gross) this one has a full three way fridge, but this is at the expense of a sink.
A 2003 Pennine Pullman, almost ready for re sale. Quite a bit of work done, on this one to bring it back to top level, but all looking good now.
Don't forget, you can download the 145 page Folding Camper Ultimate Guide from the Blue Sky web site. Plenty for everyone, but especially useful for those thinking of buying their first folding camper or trailer tent, with a used camper buyer's guide, as well as articles such as; 'Choosing a trailer tent or folding camper. What are the options'? and 'I've Just bought my first folding camper. What else will I need'?

For decades, now, many, including much of the towing industry, have worked on the basis that, for safe towing, we should, always, aim to stick to a trailer or caravan that weighs no more than 85% of the kerb weight of the towing vehicle. Over and over again, we hear; Well. The Caravan & Motorhome Club recommend it, so it must be right, but what, exactly, does it mean? [ 1,861 more word ]

Upper Lynstone Caravan & Camping Park is a smallish, 4 star, family run camp site, a five to ten minute walk outside of the North Cornish coastal town of Bude. Its elevated position gives it excellent views, and it is just a stone's throw from the coastal path, which offers, amongst other things, a more scenic walk into Bude, itself. The site takes pretty much any type of unit, including tents, trailer tents, folding campers, caravans and motorhomes, making it an ideal location for larger family groups to meet up and share one site, regardless of the accommodation they are bringing with them.

In our earlier article; The Layman's Guide To Towing In The UK, one of the items covered was that of the legal requirement (or not) of fitting extended mirrors, when towing, however, towing mirrors, as a topic, is, along with licences and towing weights, possibly, one of the most heavily debated topics on the internet, and it is clear that a significant percentage of those commenting, actually, have no idea as to what the law, really, is.

A 1995 Conway Cardinal Clubman, collected on behalf of a customer, and given the Blue Sky treatment.
Our first Conway Cardinal Clubman, in for a little work, then plenty of photos / videos for the web site. Nice to see the interior and exterior have been so well maintained. Not that much work to do. :)
Riverside Caravan Park can be found about a mile out of the centre of Stratford, itself, and is situated right on the banks of the River Avon. The site takes all types of caravans, motorhomes and folding campers, and also provides it's own glamping pods, wooden lodges and static caravans, as well as having a separate residential park homes area. It does not accommodate tents or trailer tents. [ 1,083 more word ]

Whilst the Blue sky web site, blog, You Tube channel, etc are designed to provide a one stop shop for everything folding camper, the one thing they don't, actively, do is provide an interactive forum for exchanging information and ideas with fellow members, as well as asking ourselves some of the more technical questions. That is no longer the case, as we, now, have our own facebook discussion and advice group, so feel free to check it out. here.
Probably one of the most genuine businesses out there...proud to know you, well done
