New Old stock?

Why would a caravan dealer still have so many new 2018 model vans on the lot in 2020? Perhaps I am getting old a cynical but I smell a rat!

(Preview)
Last Saturday 11:30 am 22/02/2020 I was traveling west along the Gatton bypass on the speed limit [100 kph]and I was overtaken by two idiots in 4x4`s towing caravans. I have it on dash cam and I estimate they were doing at least 110 - 115 kph. If these people are on this forum, you are bloody idiots.

Forward or Rear facing door?
(Preview)
Should the door on a van have the handle on the left or right? My understanding is that if the door was not shut properly, a RHS handle door would blow back when travelling, whereas a LHS handle door would blow open if not shut properly. Some forward opening door interfere with the front window. Just ask...
