What’s new for caravans at this year’s NEC show

If you are heading to the Motorhome & Caravan Show at the NEC, 14-19 October, the caravan halls are where most of the action is, with big-name returns, all-new ranges and a clear push on comfort, space and lighter weights.

A brief overview of this year's Motorhome & Caravan Show (NEC, 2025)

Swift caravans

Swift brings back the Conqueror for 2026, restyled and loaded with touring niceties like a roof-mounted solar panel and external BBQ point, while the Elegance Grande sits at the top end and Basecamp 2 covers the compact crowd. 

Bailey caravans

Bailey unveils two fresh ranges, Phoenix Black Edition and Pegasus Black Edition, both with revised front infinity windows and updated interiors, with Phoenix aimed at lighter towing and Pegasus at generous 8ft-wide living.

Coachman caravans 

Coachman’s stand is a must-see if you want high-spec finishes. The new Lusso flagship range lands with three four-berth models, deeper kitchen worktops, a French oak-style floor and a new air-conditioning unit, while Laser Xtra gains revised layouts, including the new two-berth Laser 480 Xtra. VIP also gets attention, with a reworked 545 and a refreshed 565 bringing single beds and an end washroom on a single axle.

Elddis caravans

Elddis targets first-time buyers with the all-new Whirlwind range, then steps up the spec in Avante Apex and polishes the Crusader line-up. Expect useful kit as standard across the board, from solar and alarms to WiFi and BBQ points, which should make budgeting simpler if you are comparing like for like.

Adria caravans

At Adria, the focus is on versatile layouts and clean, contemporary interiors. Highlights include the compact Action 361 LT, new Adora 612 DL Seine and 623 DP Tiber, plus Alpina models like the Colorado and Mississippi for year-round touring. If you are curious about lighter, sportier touring, Knaus shows the Sport & Fun and the EV-friendly Yaseo, alongside the roomy Sudwind and a family-minded Sport with ten layouts.

Buccaneer caravans

Luxury tourers are well represented by Buccaneer’s new Starliner range, which now rides on a 2.2-tonne chassis and adds air-conditioning, underfloor heating and bedroom TV as standard. The new 8ft-wide Skyliner range also debuts with modern colours and interior updates, keeping that big-caravan feel without losing the brand’s signature self-levelling and Alde heating.

The wide variety of caravans

If you prefer small and stylish, the teardrop T@B remains a solid option, Barefoot shows the new three-berth Barefoot Bothy alongside its retro fibreglass icon, and Terok’s squaredrop designs bring a tough, modern twist to micro-touring. Eriba adds new layouts to its Touring range, still with that timeless profile and clever use of space.

Dealers are out in force, so you can compare specs and prices across multiple brands under one roof. If you are shortlisting, arrive with your payload and MTPLM targets, note bed sizes and washroom layouts that actually fit your routine and ask about lead times, part-ex values and show offers that close the gap between trim levels.

Tickets are £18 on the door and the caravan halls span multiple arenas, so give yourself time to loop back once you have seen your favourites.
