Planning your campervan or motorhome adventures for 2025? The UK motorhome show calendar offers great opportunities to explore the latest vehicles, find accessories, and connect with fellow enthusiasts. From compact campervans to luxury motorhomes, these events showcase every type of leisure vehicle.
We reveal the year’s must-visit shows and explain how professional insurance helps protect your investment.
Why Attend UK Campervan and Motorhome Shows?
Campervan and motorhome shows provide ideal opportunities to compare vehicles, test features hands-on, and speak directly with manufacturers. You can explore dozens of layouts in a single day, from compact van conversions to spacious A-class motorhomes.
Expert demonstrations teach valuable skills, such as manoeuvring techniques and maintenance tips. Some shows also include talks from travel writers and experienced owners who share practical advice.
Show-exclusive deals and early access to new models make attendance worthwhile. The social aspect lets you connect with like-minded travellers sharing experiences and recommendations.
What to Look for When Shopping at Campervan and Motorhome Shows?
Compare vehicles and items of interest carefully at shows and avoid sales tactics designed to pressure you. Focus on practical features instead of just looks. Check the following areas thoroughly:
- Layout functionality – Sit, lie on beds, and move around inside to test how space actually works
- Build quality – Check door alignment, cabinet fit, and finishing quality
- Practical storage – Open every cupboard, drawer, and external locker to assess real capacity
- Driver comfort – Adjust seats, check visibility, and ensure comfortable control reach
- Bathroom practicality – Test shower size, toilet access, and ventilation
- Kitchen usability – Check fridge space, worktop area, and storage for cooking essentials

Making the Most of Show Visits
Plan strategically to get the most value by researching exhibitors beforehand and creating a list of vehicles you want to see. Arrive early for the best access to popular models and demonstrations, then record specifications, prices, and contact details as you browse.
Additionally, take photos of layouts that interest you, whether compact campervan conversions or spacious motorhome interiors, but don’t rush decisions. Use visits to gather information about different vehicle types, then consider options carefully before purchasing.
Insurance Considerations for New Vehicles
We recommend having your insurance sorted out before buying at these shows. Many dealers can’t complete sales without proof of insurance, making planning key. Campervan insurance and motorhome insurance differ from car insurance due to these vehicles’ dual purpose and unique features.
Buyers considering converted campervans should ensure their insurance understands conversion work and associated values. Factory-built motorhomes require a different but equally specialist understanding.
