The yorkshire motorhome & campervan show

Yorkshire’s largest motorhome and campervan show returns to the Great Yorkshire Showground, Harrogate, for three days from 15 to 17 March.

This is a day visitor show (no on-site camping) but there’s plenty to keep your interest, whether you’re looking for a new ’van or just some accessories. Over 40 motorhome and campervan dealers will be present across both indoor and outdoor exhibition areas.

If you’re considering joining the hobby, or just want to know more, the show’s Advice Centre is a key part of the event, with speakers including this magazine’s Editor (see below).

There will also be a free motorhome manoeuvring course at the show, so you can go ahead and get your dream ’van without worrying about the driving. To save money, buy your tickets in advance at £7 per adult (they’re £10 on the day). Under-16s go free.

MUST SEE AT THE SHOW M AND C LTD – RIMOR

If you’re looking for a compact motorhome that won’t break the bank, M and C will be exhibiting the Rimor Kilig 18, a sub-six-metre low-profile based on the Ford Transit with 130hp engine.

Despite its compact size, the Kilig 18 has both a double bed at the rear and an electric drop-down bed over the front lounge. It has a rear garage, too, and is priced from £63,295.
