Thinking of taking a motorhome or RV tour abroad?

Dive into our Worldwide Escapes adventure, a globe‑trotting mix of sunshine, surprises and the kind of travel moments that make you shout “It is your lobster!” This blog celebrates big trips, bucket‑list dreams, motorhome wanderlust and the joy of exploring far beyond the UK. Packed with laughs, memories and travel inspiration, it’s your passport to planning the next great escape. Maybe Canada, Oz, Argentina, Iceland, Faroe islands, Scandinavia, American West, New Zealand..... There are a few of those we haven't done yet but would love to

However by 2021 the only one we have not done is any motorhoming in South America, now there is a target There are some talks on each of these at the up and coming Motorhome & Caravan Show at Birmingham which could be a useful insight from folks who have already done them Click here to see Presentation Times Note now shows the latest years show and / or the next one

Each year, the Motorhome Show at the NEC delivers the same irresistible mix of inspiration, temptation and practical know‑how. It’s the one place where the entire motorhome world gathers under one roof, and walking through those halls feels like stepping into a giant, buzzing playground for anyone who loves life on wheels. The first thing it gives me is perspective: seeing every layout, every brand, every clever new idea side by side helps me understand what’s genuinely useful and what’s just shiny marketing.

The show is also my annual update on what’s new. Whether it’s the latest motorhome models, compact campervans, eco‑friendly tech, upgraded heating systems or smarter storage solutions, the NEC is where I get hands‑on with it all. No brochure or website compares to actually stepping inside, opening cupboards, testing seating comfort and imagining how a layout would work on a real trip.

Then there’s the accessories. Rows and rows of gadgets, tools, awnings, cookware, levelling gear, solar setups, security systems and things I never knew existed until I suddenly needed them. It’s the best place to compare prices, ask questions and grab show‑only deals.

The show also gives me knowledge. The talks, demonstrations and expert stands are perfect for picking up tips on maintenance, touring abroad, insurance, electrics, and even choosing the right tyres. I always leave with at least one new trick or idea to make future trips smoother.

Finally, the NEC gives me community. You meet fellow travellers, swap stories, share campsite recommendations and feel part of something bigger. It’s a reminder that motorhome life isn’t just about vehicles — it’s about people, places and the joy of exploring.

Every year, I leave inspired, informed and already planning the next adventure. Highly RECOMMENDED by motorhome-travels blog!
