East Neuk Campervans becomes a retailer for Panama

Fife-based East Neuk Campervans, best known as the manufacturer of Fifer van conversions, is now also a retailer for Panama, the Spanish converter of Ford-based campervans.

The two models in the range both proved popular with our judges at the Practical Motorhome Awards 2025, winning a category apiece.

This includes the Panama P12, a model with a side kitchen, a roof bed, and a bench which can be turned into a comfortable bed. Its versatility impressed our judges, as it took the title of best campervan for everyday use, thanks to the features and technology it comes with, as well as its practicality and adaptability.

The other model is the Panama P57, the recipient of our best campervan for a family of 4 award. It offers a comfortable front lounge, full washroom facilities, and a good rear kitchen space.

Marquis Leisure is the UK importer of Panama, alongside other brands such as Benimar, Elnagh and Mobilvetta. As well as its own 12 retail outlets, Marquis has appointed other dealers to sell some of its import franchises, as follows:

Calder Campers in East Calder, near Livingston, is now selling Benimar and Elnagh models
Dublin Motorhomes is offering vehicles by Benimar and Panama
Camper Ni, in Hillsborough, Northern Ireland, sells Benimar, Mobilvetta, Elnagh and Panama.

Marquis is holding promotional events throughout the spring as well, allowing ‘van owners to benefit from expert advice and special deals.

Nick’s first caravanning memory is his younger brother falling out of the bunk bed above him. That was over half a century ago. Around a decade later, his first driving experience was taking the family campervan across a field on his uncle’s farm. He’s now well into his fourth decade as a journalist specialising across the whole leisure vehicle sector. In that time, he’s worked for a wide variety of publications, testing literally thousands of vehicles and visiting almost as many different places throughout the UK, Europe and even beyond. These days, he’s never happier than when he’s out reviewing new or pre-owned motorhomes or researching and writing touring articles for Practical Motorhome. Or, failing that, you may well find him pitching near you in his latest campervan, a Volkswagen California (more often than not with his short, suffering partner, Lin, and crazy sprocker spaniel, Bonnie).
