NEW MODEL LAUNCHES CONFIRMED FOR NEC SHOW
The Motorhome and Caravan Show, which takes place at the NEC in Birmingham, from 17 to 22 October, has confirmed a host of new campervans that will have their UK public debut at the event.
The show is the UK’s largest event of its kind and spans almost 21 acres of the NEC. Each year manufacturers from the UK and Europe use the event to reveal their latest campervans and motorhomes, as well as caravans and accessories, to the public.
This year will again see Campervan name the winners of the Campervan of the Year awards at the show, which means visitors will be treated not just to the sight of multiple all-new models but also those our judges have named the best of the best in their categories – just look for the tell-tale stickers and banners adorning the award-winning models.
NEW CAMPERVANS
There will be a vast array of new campervans launching at this October’s show, including Adria’s new Twin Max (pictured), which is based on a MAN base vehicle. Auto-Sleepers is returning with its all-new Mercedes M-Star, which was given a preview at the February NEC show earlier this year. Now the high-spec, two-berth is in production.
In one of the most important launches from a British manufacturer, this show will see Bailey of Bristol reveal its first-ever campervan – the Ford Transit-based Endeavour.
From Germany comes a special edition campervan from Bürstner. The pop-top Playa Limited Edition, based on a Renault Trafic model, comes packed with extras such as 17in alloys, awning, cooled glovebox, diesel heater and more as standard.
Also from Germany comes an all-new campervan from Frankia. The Yucon is based on the latest Mercedes 4x4 Sprinter. Equipped with state-of-the-art amenities, high-end finishes, robust off-road capabilities, advanced safety features, and reliable performance, the Yukon is an option for those seeking both exploration and relaxation.
Redline Campers will be unveiling its new Redline Sport Custom RS campervan at the show, while Swift will launch its new Carrera, which, it says, is designed for relaxed campervan living while being practical for everyday use.
Finally, on the new campervan front, Vanworx will display its new MaxTraxx 4x4 camper, designed for ‘off the beaten track’ campervanning. Based on the new VW Crafter and MAN TGE, the MaxTraxx is available in two and four berths.
