It looks like a lot of the scam comps, but is a real business page... however my spidey senses tell me it's just for like/engagement farming, and that no genuine entrant is getting that nice new caravan that they've decided to give away as it has a couple of scratches lol

TOP MONEYSAVING TIP
Make your own Pot Noodles using a flower pot, sawdust and some old shoe laces. Pour in boiling water, stir then allow to stand for two minutes before taking one mouthful, and throwing away. Just like the real thing!

I wouldn't enter it, rather large prize for a small company. Just after shares and likes2

Business must be really good if they can afford to give away a slightly dented caravan, rather than offer it for sale with £1000 off!I’m a Senior Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on the Competition Time, Site Feedback and Marriage, Relationships and Families boards.

They have several posts on that page. The Adwick Caravans website has a link to the their Facebook and it takes you to that page. Usually with the scam ones they just create a new page pretending to be a company and just do one post.
Come on you Irons3 -
FOR - Been in business nearly 7 years, nett assets at last accounts over £1,200,000, company has 46,000 likes on FB. Average 4.2 star review on google (176 reviews). The FB post helpfully says "Note: we wont be commenting to any one directly or pm any one directly" which should deter some scam attempts.
AGAINST - Seems a large prize for the number of "likers" they already have and saying "flog" rather than sell doesn't seem very professional
They possibly don't have a social media marketer and the prize can be tax deductible3 -
The fact they are saying the won't be commenting or messaging you, then how would they notify you and get your details?
People are liking, tagging and sharing different posts, which makes me suspicious, as they aren't the ones up to win and someone commenting on one post saying they think it is a scam.
They do have a lot of followers though and they are a registered business, their website takes you to that page. 🤔
Thank you to everyone who posts competitions and good luck to everyone who enters.1
