NEW YEAR SALES are on! Whether you need a new motorhome, a great ferry deal or an early-bird discount on a campsite, this is a great time to go shopping without breaking the bank!

 

Buy a motorhome for less

Here’s a selection of motorhome dealers with bargains you might want to drive away.

 

Lowdhams Caravans and Motorhomes

Lowdhams has forecourts in Nottingham and Huddersfield, full of tempting motorhomes and caravans. The Early Bird Savings sale is in full swing and this respected dealership says you can save “£1000s on selected motorhomes and caravans, not only that but save 15% on caravan covers too!”

 

We had a browse through Lowdhams’ motorhome bargains and spotted a two-berth 2010 Swift Sundance 580PR in Nottingham reduced from £30,995 to £29,995. Or for a grown-up family, how about the four-berth, two-seatbelt 2008 Dethleffs Globebus I 3 in Nottingham, reduced from £42,995 down to £39,995?

 

The special offers will be there as long as stocks last and you can browse their motorhome offers on the Lowdhams website and arrange to view motorhomes at in person by booking online

 

Marquis Motorhomes

Marquis Motorhomes‘ January sale on used stock includes a 2002 Pioneer Classic 3 two-berth low-profile coachbuilt reduced from almost £20,000 to just shy of £17,000. For a family, how about a four-berth coachbuilt Bessacarr E725 reduced from almost £22,000 to just under £19,000, while stocks last? 

 

Marquis also has discounts on selected new motorhomes and there are also ex-demonstrators on special offer. Finally, it’s worth checking out the ‘New Exclusive Models’, in other words dealer specials, because these are typically brand new motorhomes, with lots of ‘extras’ thrown in. Worth a look!

 

Part of Auto-Sleepers, Marquis Motorhomes & Caravans has 11 sales showrooms across the country. It’s also offering 20 per cent off that essential winter habitation check on your existing motorhome.

 

Southdowns Motorhomes 

Winter special offers are being promoted by Southdowns Motorhomes, the sole importer of the mighty German Concorde motorhomes which have just come out top in our Owner Satisfaction Awards (announced 23 January, 2014). You can make big savings if you opt for a brand new 2013 RV, such as a Burstner Grand Panorama i915G automatic, reduced from £109,876 to £99,995. Or the LHD Cathargo Chic C-Line T-Plus 5.2H, also with automatic transmission, marked down from £75,125 to £69,995.

Another that caught our eye was a new 2013 Knaus Sky Ti 650MF, Fiat 2.3L 148PS automatic motorhome marked down from £54,485 to £49,995. That’s a lot of motorhome for your money. As with any sale, when they’re gone they’re gone. Southdowns Motorhomes is based in Portsmouth, Hampshire.

 

Just Kampers parts and accessories

Just Kampers, the VW camper van parts and accessories specialist, also has a sale on at the moment. So it’s worth having a browse online to see if they have what you need on special offer to give your VW a New Year’s facelift!
