What To See At The Camping Caravan And Motorhome Show 2024?
Right so uh just a quick video really heads up for the NEC Caravan camping and motor home show did I get it right brilliant yeah yeah we’ll tell you a little bit about the show um and what we’re going to be looking at whilst we’re at the show
Right so the show’s on from Tuesday the 13th of February to Sunday the 18th of February and it’s at the NEC Birmingham it’s in Falls 1: 5 and it starts at 10:00 in the morning and goes on till 6:00 p.m. there is a website you can check out and that’s CCM show.co
Do.uk costs it cost 12250 per person if you book it before 2359 on the 12th of the 2nd uh children under 16 Go free uh Max two per adult there or1 1550 after the 12th of the second subject to availability assume they think it’ll be sold out it’s pre-booked tickets only
And there is a125 handling charge for doing it online and if you’re a member of the camping caravaning club or Moto or Caravan and Moto Club you should check the website for further discount the parking free it’s included in the ticket there are some large car Parks I
Would suggest you get there early unfortunately it’s assistance dogs only there are over 400 exhibitors there and you can search on the website some notable stands uh we’ve got maai pet suppliers who will be supporting uh throughout the show there in Hall 3 on stand 3027 there’s a dedicated camper van Hall
In Hall 5 and in hall four you can find a dedicated tent and camping Hall there’ll be mot homes and Caravans from all leading manufacturers there are some awnings there as well uh all set up and ready to walk into something we be interested in having a look at there are
Some stands for campsites for Holiday Parks uh days out destinations and you can try out um some motor homes and camper vans or Towing youve got free motor home and camper van maneuvering courses you’ve got a free 20 minute try it Caravan Towing lesson aen did that a couple of years ago didn’t
You that’s right uh you’ve got the Leisure vehicle advice Center which apparently is bigger for 2024 and that’s this is a website and it offers free impartial expert advice help and information on all aspects of camper van Caravan and motor home ownership and there’s a website I’ll put
In here there is a YouTube video on it as well and we’ve done our own list haven’t we that’s right yeah and I’ve had a look at this it’s a really interesting website because you can do um lots of searches and you can have a really elaborate search of whether you want
A fixed bed whether you want double bed single beds all this sort of thing okay and you can also do a comparison so when you find the motor homes that you’re interested in you can do a comparison and I’ve done one with four vans that we
Were looking at that were on a short list so the website’s also got a free show guide and floor plan uh and you can download the floor pan and you can carry it around with it like we’re going to be doing yeah it’s um you can print it but
Uh it’s still a bit difficult to uh read unless you need magnifying glass you can look at it on your phone or obviously if you’ve got the PDF before you go yeah you can look at it on there and make a note of which Halls people are in but it
Is quite useful even in in this size just to see that all the H sort of linked together because the other show sometimes they’re in all 18 up there aren’t they all one down there so they all seem to sort of Link through I think these in the February show you’re nearer
The railway station aren’t you yeah yeah so so if you’re coming in by by rail you can uh you can walk fairly easily from the station uh the other shows are right at the other end of theway station so that’s right yeah it’s good for that but
Yeah if you’re coming by car like I say there large car Parks uh is there anything else to add well the only other thing is um to mention there’s obviously no overnight parking at the NEC no there isn’t the usual um Caravan and Moto home club uh temporary site that’s not on
This February um but there is a list of camp sites in the area and we’ll just I’ve taken this from the website and just show you those okay but they will do get booked up yeah yeah I mean judging from feedback about the uh the popup uh campsite it was incredibly
Expensive and Incredibly muddy yeah I don’t know whether they plan to have it in February but it’s not there no but if you can find a campsite nearby like I say you can come you can come to the show for the day and just park your mot
Home it’s dedicated Moto home parking so that’s all good and we’ve done that before even when we’ve been staying at Summers wood just to bring the mot home in because it does mean you can go in and out as you like then that’s right
Yeah and go back to the B for lunch and all that sort of thing yeah yeah now we we’ve um we’ve sort of made our mind out what mot home we’re getting yes um we will do be doing a video on Sunday and we’ll let you know which one it’s going to be
So that said we’re not really going to be looking for ourselves for motor homes so and the other thing is a lot of the new ones were at the October show so we made a point of at the October show wasn’t it looking what was new and I
Think you did about five videos yeah so what we’re thinking is um are there any vans you would like us to look at yeah and we need to compile a list obviously so we know which Halls they’re in and we need to know um the m I Bailey yeah what type of
Moto E DMO yeah and then the the mot the the version manufactur the the the version and the number yeah so 694 or something like that and if you can check the website before you ask us that would be good because there’s no point us looking for a motome that’s not there
That’s right that’s right yeah so then I can compile a list I can say which Hall they’re in and then we can quickly go and have a look at it and give you a mention as well yeah that’s right we’re going to take about the first 25 I think
And see how we get on with that because once we get to about 25 we’ve probably filmed enough for most people that’s right so yeah did go mad one year and filmed 53 No 53 yeah very tiring and uh and by the time we got to the seventh
Video people oh no not video they all sort of merged together after that could remember what we had seen no so that’s it really um if you found this interesting at all give us a thumbs up and uh you might want to have a look at um this video about here right there
Okay yeah we’ll see you soon yeah bye bye then
Here’s is our Camping Caravan And Motorhome Show 2023 preview. We give you the times, dates and website to look at. We need your help to compile a list of vans to look at for this show. Let us know in the comments which vans you would like us to look at – if they are at the show of course!

hi
Be aware the roads around the airport, NEC and M42 junctions are subject to alterations and roadworks due to the HS2 works so allow some extra time getting in and out.
Hi Bob , speak to your mechanic re the wet cam belt system on the new transit cab. Whole world of problems , we have a few vans and they all failed.
Looking forward to hearing about the new van Sunday, I’m guessing it’ll be the Kon Tiki but time will tell! If you could look around the compact A class motorhomes by Rapido, any of the end bedroom models either 866F, 886F or 896F that would be much appreciated. Be interesting to see if you notice the space difference being the narrower bodied. All the best Craig
Thanks for the mention. Need to get you a new photo as have a new banner and different treats now. Looking forward to the Show
i like the autotrail tracker eks model not sure if its at the show though
I bought a Bayley 70 94I 2022 Reg. Good van fell to pieces inside drawers. Dropping drawers, unable to open and other things what went wrong so you need to check it all out but I would never touch a Bayley ever again after Service terrible, I have got now a Kiki 984, and what a vehicle out of this world, anyway, enjoy the new one you gonna get, but please no Bayley x
Can't wait to find out what you have chosen. It would be great to see a look at a Rapido Dreamer Living van if you can.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Have a great week at the show. We decided not to attend this time but we will be watching your YouTube content as always. Take care and see you soon 😃👍🏻🚐 Trev n Sue
Be great if you could have a look at Rolling Homes Livingstone SWB. 😀.
Looking forward to finding out what you have chosen as your next van. 😊
I am starting research into a new campervan, and I am interested in general information on the new (pending) release Fiat van and the Mercedes Sprinter van. In Australia these are the primary vehicles with a lesser number of Renault, Ford and VW, and a small but growing number of vehicles from Asia – mostly Toyota and Great Wall. Obviously, information on specific van conversion companies in the UK is not of much use to me.
I realise this is not your primary audience profile but any information you do provide would be much appreciated.

Hi bob would be nice to see the wildax europa if possible have a great time can’t wait to see what van you have brought
Great video as ever Bob and Jenny and enjoy the show! Looking forward to seeing the videos Daniel
Hi Bob and Jenny. That sounds like a good show and hope you get sorted out with your van soon. We are going next week to the Scottish motorhome and camping show next week. We want to se what extras are on offer and can fit to our new motorhome. Take care. Rob and Jane
I am not being funny but what do they give you for the fee you pay?
The list of campsites you’ve put up some are quite far away there are some closer like somers wood in meridian. Also some in Coventry which is only down the A45 . But thanks for the good informative video your doing a great job
Very informative 😊
Hi Bob in reply to your short about increasing 35000 limit,iceratainly hope they increase it as I drove a 7.5 ton for nearly all my working life ,then when I reached 70 I couldn't, riddiculas, I think I could have carried on if I'd had a medical,I didn't bothers I'm retired but it put me off getting a larger moterhome.the 😢
5 metre vans Bob/Jenny would be interesting,, perfect size for driving&fitting on most dives,, cheers
