The first thing you notice here is colour. Vibrant lime greens, purples, reds and pinks appear in a range of kitchen utensils, plus receptacles of all dimensions from rubbish bins to washing up bowls.
Ropers’ shop opened in 1990. Since then it has developed into a one-stop store for caravanning and the leisure lifestyle, with items such as those vibrantly-coloured kitchen utensils. They’re from KitchenCraft, made of silicone and heat-resistant to 260ºC, made for use on non-stick surfaces in particular, and come with a five-year guarantee.
We explore further and find a good range of Weber barbecues; staff tell us that their quality impresses customers. We need no convincing, already being the proud owners of a small Weber charcoal barbecue called Smokey Joe.
Away from the colourful items and among an array of caravan steps we pick out a Milenco Giant Double Step, wider than average and impressively sturdy, at £23.99.
From the necessary to the frivolous; battery-operated candles grab our attention. They’re white, they are made of a substance that closely mimics wax, and when you flick a switch on the base a ‘flame’ appears in the centre of the ‘candle’.
Awning and caravan ambience suddenly reaches a new level! A set of three, with a remote control(!) costs £15.99. They’re made by Premier Decorations which, Ropers tells us, supplies 75% of the Christmas lights on sale in the UK.
