Yes, it’s showtime again. The NEC Birmingham’s February event, officially termed the Caravan, Camping and Motorhome Show to differentiate it from the Motorhome & Caravan Show in October, runs from 18 to 23 February this year.
The change of name suggests that motorhomes are not as much the focus here as they are in October, and you’re likely to see one or two of the best motorhome manufacturers are notably missing.
Swift, for example, will not have a stand of its own, although you can see its vehicles at the Lowdhams stand (3090) or Couplands (1100). Pilote, similarly, while not having a presence at the event, can be seen at SMC (3080) or, for Joa Camp, Grantham’s (2200). In short, there is going to be plenty to see, whether you want to visit the best van conversion companies, visit dealers, take a look at the various offerings from manufacturers, or stock up on essential accessories such as the best motorhome awning.
If you’re planning to go but haven’t purchased your ticket yet, don’t miss our discount code for the Caravan, Camping and Motorhome Show – you can save £1, bringing the ticket down to only £12. You have until midnight on 17th February, at which point ticket prices increase to £16.50.
Here is our round-up of what else makes the February show a must-see, whether you’re looking for a campervan or motorhome.

Motorhomes on display at the Caravan, Camping and Motorhome Show
If you’re thinking of buying a motorhome at the show, there will be plenty to see – some of the highlights include:
Adria
- Stand: 3060
Head to Adria’s stand to see the new Supertwin, the company’s first van conversion based on a Mercedes Sprinter 4×4. You can also take a look at new Fiat-based Twin conversions that have been updated for the 2025 season, and three models from the revamped Sun Living brand.
Auto-Sleepers
- Stand: 3075
There are no new Auto-Sleeper models this season, but there are significant changes to all existing vehicles.
First, all 2025 models that previously ran on a Peugeot Boxer now come on a Fiat Ducato, a base vehicle which you can find out more about in our best van for a camper conversion guide.
The base vehicle should make opting for an automatic gearbox easier. All such models also now come with Truma’s CombiNeo continuous hot water heater system. Auto-Sleepers is the first manufacturer to have this.
There are also new exterior graphics, interior fabrics and Hekis that come complete with LED lighting.
Van conversions are fitted with a new anti-rot roof lining, while most coachbuilt models now come with a monocoque “tiled” shower cubicle and a window in the washroom, and a new-look wardrobe.

The Mercedes-based coachbuilts have seen similar improvements, although they are now fitted with the Alde 3030+ heating system for continuous hot water.
As an optional extra, these models can also have the ingenious new Cinderella toilet, from Sweden, installed. This incinerates toilet waste so that it can then simply be disposed of in a rubbish bin.
There should be a good selection of all these new models on the stand.
Auto-Trail
- Stand: 3040
No fewer than 29 vehicles will grace Auto-Trail’s stand, including models from the brand’s Expedition, V-Line and Adventure van conversion ranges and the Expedition, F-Line, Imala and Frontier coachbuilts.

Fans of innovative motorhomes should look out for the optional rising-roofs on the compact Excel models. The optional roof, introduced at last year’s October show, is available on every vehicle in the range.
Bailey
- Stand: 3020
Bailey is expanding its Ford-based Adamo low-profile range this year with three new Adamo XL models, all 8m long. These will be at the show on the company’s stand.
The three new models have fixed beds and boast superb spec levels, including 100-litre tanks for fresh and waste water.
The XLDL comes with a standard L-shaped front dinette, a rear lounge with a drop-down bed, and a large internally and externally accessible storage area at the back, arranged around a window.

The other two – the island-bed XLI and fixed-single-beds XLT – come with a face-to-face lounge up front and a drop-down bed up above.
Standard Adamo models for 2025 and the compact Alora range will also be on display.
Carthago/Malibu
- Stand: 1050
Although there’s nothing completely new on the Carthago/Malibu stand, it should provide another chance to see the new Malibu Genius 641 LE, the first Malibu van conversion based on a Mercedes Sprinter, for which Malibu has designed its own rear extension. It proved popular with our judges at the Practical Motorhome Awards 2025, taking the title of best luxury campervan.

While you’re there, check out the new Malibu T 450 RB-LE. It’s the first Malibu motorhome on a Mercedes Sprinter, and manages to include fixed single beds and a washroom spread across the middle in its 7.16m length.
From Carthago, the new C2 Tourer range – designed to provide a lighter but still long vehicle for those without a C1 licence – is represented by the C2 Tourer I Mercedes 148 RB-QB L comfort 4.2t. This is 7.21m long, with fixed single beds, a central washroom and a spacious front dinette.
Chausson
- Stand: 3052
The line-up on Chausson’s stand was still being decided as this guide was written, but one vehicle that will definitely be on show is the new Chausson 798 Anniversary Line model.
Brought out to celebrate the French manufacturer’s 45th anniversary, the 7.39m-long island-bed low-profile motorhome includes a face-to-face front lounge that can be converted into travel seats. There is also an optional drop-down bed above, to take the total sleeping berths from three to five.
Coachman
- Stand: 3000
The Coachman stand will host the company’s Travel Master range, all based on the Mercedes Sprinter.

This includes the A-class Travel Master Imperial 845, and the Travel Master low-profiles: the island-bed 545, the fixed-single-beds 565 and the lighter TravelMaster Sportivo 565, for those who do not have a C1 licence (see: what driving licence do I need to drive a motorhome to make sure you have the right one).
Escape Campers
Stand: 1056
This Peterborough-based van converter, a new exhibitor at the NEC, will be showing a selection of its campervans, most of which feature a classic campervan layout with a rear bench and a side kitchen.
On the stand, there should be two SWB Renault conversions, alongside two SWB Ford Transit conversions, but in addition, look out for its VW T6.1 conversion as you come into the show.
Rapido
- Stand: 1120
Dreamer’s new Camper Sport model will make its first UK appearance at this February’s show.
The 6.36m-long Fiat-based model, part of Dreamer’s Fun range, includes a transverse bed that is electronically raised to make more room for the garage underneath. It also has a washroom with a swinging partition inside to accommodate a shower.

Six other Dreamer models are likely to be on the Rapido group’s stand, along with three Itineo vehicles, including the new family-focused SBD700 (a winner at the Practical Motorhome Awards 2025) and seven Rapido models, including low-profiles, compact low-profiles and A-classes.
Tourne Mobil
Stand: 2220
Tourne Mobil is the latest Slovenian leisure vehicle manufacturer to launch its ’vans in the UK market.
The decade-old company makes van conversions at 5.99m and 6.36m lengths, with innovative features such as a table that clips on like a jigsaw, a seat that swings out of the kitchen unit, and kitchen storage units that are removable.

To make life easier, you can go for two mostly “take it or leave it” spec levels as well – Cruise and Select.
Vanlife Conversions
Stand: 1056a
Another company making its debut at the show, Vanlife Conversions specialises in building vehicles that look domestic, with painted cabinetry, “tiled” kitchen walls and natural wood worktops, but also include the latest technology – including, for example, a Starlink Wi-Fi connection, helpful for those who want internet in a motorhome.
These ’vans can also be personalised – a previous model produced by the Colchester-based company included a pull-out piano keyboard.
The vehicle that will be on display, Kunu, is the company’s most popular layout, and features a transverse bed with a bench up front that can be converted into a dinette or a small third bed, a washroom that doubles as a clothes-drying area, and a garage.
The ’van also boasts 48V lithium batteries, 620W of solar panels, an inverter-charger and a 1500W converter, designed to allow for gasless cooking in the superbly equipped “domestic” style kitchen, which comes with an air fryer and an induction hob.
Wildtracks Campervans
- Stand: 5137
Established back in 2016, Bristol-based Wildtracks Campervans will also be making its NEC show debut.
The company specialises in VW Transporter conversions. Its stand is likely to include one model specifically aimed at those who like to go off-grid, with a 4×4 chassis, a lithium leisure battery and an induction hob.

There will also be a more sporty model, this time with a diesel hob.
Awnings at the Caravan, Camping and Motorhome Show
The Caravan, Camping and Motorhome Show is not just a great opportunity to browse the latest releases – it can also be the ideal destination if you’re thinking of buying a new awning (and if you are, make sure you know how to choose a motorhome awning to ensure you find the one for you).
Olpro
- Stand: 1032
Olpro will be coming to the NEC this month with new versions of three of its most popular drive-aways.
The Cocoon Breeze V2 runs parallel to your campervan and comes with a removable five-berth inner bedroom pod and a removable divider.
Upgrades include two zippable doors on the tunnel, so you can keep muddy boots out of the awning.
The Loopo Breeze V2, meanwhile, runs at a right angle to your ’van, and includes a removable two-berth inner.
The Uno Breeze V2, the smallest campervan awning from Olpro, is designed to be used for storage or outdoor dining. Like the Cocoon Breeze V2, it now features double doors on the tunnel.
All three awnings are in 150D fabric made from recycled plastic bottles and feature Aquabarrier – a four-tiered system designed to stop water getting in through the zips – and Terragrip, a customisable pegging system.
Outdoor Revolution
- Stand: 1042
Outdoor Revolution is showing its new Q Cayman range of quick-pitch drive-away awnings. The Q Cayman T1 and C Cayman T1 Tailgate are made of 120HED high-density technical fabric with tricolour livery.
The company has also updated its Cayman drive-aways, adding six new models, and its Sport Pro inflatables for motorhomes and caravans.
Accessories on display at the Caravan, Camping and Motorhome Show 2025
Truma
Stand: 2001
The German heating specialist turns 75 in 2025. To celebrate, it is bringing out one of its most significant new products in many years.
The CombiNeo heater is the first combined blown-air space and water heating system to feature continuous hot water. Once it is fully powered, you should never have to worry about your shower getting cold again, so long as there is water in your tank.

The new heater is also considerably smaller than previous models, so it won’t take up so much room and should allow for more storage.
No wonder Auto-Sleepers is already fitting it to all of its 2025 blown-air heated models. You can find out more about other exciting new Truma products on the stand.
Guest speakers
The Inspiration Theatre
If viewing all those leisure vehicles and accessories has rather put your head in a spin, you could restore yourself by heading to hear one of the many inspirational talks taking place all through the event.
The show’s brilliant line-up of celebrity speakers includes former tennis pro Annabel Croft, now a committed campervanner, The One Show’s Alex Jones, BBC Springwatch presenter Megan McCubbin, radio presenter Jenny Powell and former Birmingham City footballer Paul Devlin.
