da04e536-d91f-4ecf-bfc0-67ad63ddd562

The Motorhome & Caravan Show, the UK’s biggest motorhome and caravanning event returns to Birmingham’s NEC from October 16-21. An extra hall’s been added for 2012, so there’s even more to explore at this year’s show.

This is the only show where you’ll see all the new 2013 motorhome, caravan, holiday home, trailer tent and folding caravan models from the leading UK and European manufacturers and dealers - hot off the production line. With hundreds of models on display it’s the best place to see and compare all the latest layouts, finishes and innovations.

To ensure you don’t miss out on 2013’s motorhome and campervan launches, we have compiled a list of the manufacturers and converters that will be exhibiting at this year’s show.

See you there!
