Origins
20th Century
Caravanning in Spain began in the 1960s, with Tuset becoming the first national brand created in Barcelona. Soon after, well-known brands such as Caravelair, Moncayo, and Catusa followed. In the 1970s, new brands emerged, including Roller, Hergo, and Benimar.
Around that time, the founder of Caravanas Cerdanyola, Francisco Gómez, was already working in the sector, specifically at the factory of the pioneering brand Tuset.
Beginnings…
After the closure of Caravanes Tuset around 1979,
Mr. Gómez created his first caravanning company in Santa Perpètua de Mogoda, called Caravanes Lego (currently Caravanes Santiga), offering caravan and trailer sales, accessories, parking, and workshop services.
Caravanas Cerdanyola
In 1982, he transferred the facilities from Santa Perpètua de Mogoda and established his new company in Cerdanyola del Vallès. For the first 10 years he operated as a self-employed professional, finally converting the business in 1992 into the already well-known Caravanas Cerdanyola SL.
During these decades, the growth of the caravanning sector in Spain attracted investors with significant financial resources, who entered the market by creating new companies and importing European brands.
These were difficult times for an entrepreneur without such economic backing compared to his new competitors. However, through great effort, professionalism, dedication, transparency, and close customer service, Caravanas Cerdanyola has become one of the leading references in the caravanning sector in Catalonia and Spain.
By the 1990s, his children began joining the company, absorbing their father’s knowledge and experience. Gradually adapting to changing times, they expanded facilities and services while maintaining the family-oriented and transparent customer approach they learned from Francisco Gómez. This led to the slogan that best defines them:
TRUST IS NEITHER BOUGHT NOR SOLD…
IT IS EARNED
21st Century – Expansion and the Birth of GRUP SIC
Today
During the first decades of the 21st century, the company expanded its areas and services. In Roda de Barà, they founded Autocaravanes Arc de Barà SL, introducing their services to well-known campsites along the Costa Daurada. Years later, they moved to Sabadell, where SBDCaravaning was created.
Continuing their innovative spirit, they professionalized one of their sectors by launching IlusionRent, a new concept in motorhome rental with major differences from competitors, such as 24-hour vehicle delivery and return.
To simplify customer access to all their services, they created GRUP SIC (Comprehensive Caravanning Service).
Over the years, they have been distributors of major brands in the sector for both vehicles and accessories (they were the first official Narbonne Accessoires store in Spain).
Currently, they are official distributors of:
Sterckeman caravans
Ilusion Motorhomes
Dometic, Enganxalls Aragó, Towcar, Viesa, etc.
With the addition of Elnacars, GRUP SIC is now one of the few companies in the caravanning sector able to accept vehicles as part payment for motorhomes or camper vans with immediate valuation, as well as offering fully inspected used vehicles with maximum guarantees.
They also currently distribute electric motorcycles from Askoll.
