Hull caravan manufacturer Arronbrook Leisure Homes has brought forward a bespoke off-grid model, highlighted as ideal for remote locations.

With British holidays set to boom, the Popple Street team has developed a range with solar powered units.

The first have been delivered to a National Trust site in the Lake District, with the 28ft by 12ft Topaz designed for owners with no mains power.

Reflecting on the initial order, director of the 33-year-old business, Paul Coombs, said there were not many more picturesque places to visit, but the Cumbrian site’s lack of power meant it could only accommodate off-grid options.

He said: “Traditionally, caravans have always relied upon (hook-up) electricity as their main power source but solar is now a viable alternative.

“It is it ideal for remote areas or locations where mains power may not reach. It is also a greener alternative – and gives people more freedom of choice.

“With staycations proving more popular than ever, we’re hoping to secure a few more º£½ÇÊÓÆµ orders for this off-grid static caravan ahead of next summer.

“We’re expecting to field calls from farmers and rural land owners who may be looking for a way to diversify their business or generate a bit of extra revenue.
