Also known as a caravan holiday home, holiday caravan, holiday home
or a leisure home, holiday homes are designed to be sited
and remain on that pitch until they are replaced. It is therefore
essential to organise the purchase of a holiday home in conjunction
with its location, which is normally a holiday park. As most holiday
parks can obtain a caravan holiday home from any manufacturer or
dealer, it makes sense to find the holiday home that you like and
then find the holiday park where you would want to have it sited.

ABI ( Ace Belmont International ) was formed in 1972 as a
result of a merger between Ace touring caravans and Belmont

and immediately withdrew from the Touring caravan market to
concentrate solely on caravan holiday homes. In 2004 the management
team headed by Mel Copper and Andrew Allwood successfully completed
a management buyout of ABI thus ensuring it's continued success.
