Shows?

These are major events on the motorcaravanning calendar. Nowhere else will you see the quantity and variety of motorhomes, campervans, motorcaravans, rvs and accessories. Show offer prices can sometimes be very attractive too.

They do vary of course from the modest outdoor Three Counties right up to the huge indoor Dusseldorf show". The world's largest fair for mobile travelling", "Düsseldorf will play host to more than 500 international exhibitors". Yep it's the big one alright!

At most shows you can expect to see a huge selection of motorcaravans both new and used. At the bigger shows there will even be exhibits from base vehicle and specialist chassis manufacturers.

You'll also find accessory suppliers and manufacturers, large and small, offering everything from flags to satellite TV and navigation.

Many of the shows are outdoor events but with lots of exhibits under cover. Camping in or adjacent to the showground is normal and you can pre-book or just turn up. Day visitors are well catered for in separate car parks, just follow the signs.

The organisers are often affiliated to publishers so you will find that some magazines never mention some shows just in case a little extra trade goes to their rivals! That's one of the reasons why we try to offer a complete list here, we hope you find it useful.

If you have a favourite show that you'd like us to add to the list just email us.
