The February Caravan, Camping & Motorhome Show 2026 at the National Exhibition Centre in Birmingham once again proved why it’s one of the biggest highlights in the touring calendar.
From packed stands and exciting new launches to serious buyers ready to secure their 2026 adventures, the atmosphere throughout the week was very upbeat and we were right at the heart of it.
Huge Interest on the Coachman Stand
Our time on the Coachman Caravans stand was nothing short of exceptional.
The Coachman Lusso 4 Steals the Show
The much-anticipated Coachman Lusso 4 was hugely popular, with queues forming consistently outside the door as customers waited to step inside. The excitement around this new layout was clear to see, and several customers made the decision there and then to swap into the new model.
The Lusso 4 truly lived up to expectations, premium finish, thoughtful design and that unmistakable Lusso luxury feel.
A New Generation of Tourers
One of the most positive signs from the week was the number of young families starting their touring journey.
The Coachman Acadia 660 proved especially popular, offering the perfect balance of family-friendly practicality and modern comfort. Fixed bunks, generous living space and fantastic value made it a standout choice.
We also saw strong demand for the Coachman VIP 520, a layout that continues to attract couples and small families looking for manageable size with high specification.
Seeing first-time buyers entering the market is always a brilliant indicator of a buoyant season ahead.
Success on the Bailey Stand
Over on the Bailey of Bristol stand, the launch of the Bailey Endurance E62 generated excellent interest. The fresh design and clever layout clearly resonated with motorhome buyers.
Alongside this, two brand-new Bailey Autograph models were unveiled, reinforcing Bailey’s strong position in the motorhome market. Enquiries were steady throughout the week, with some fantastic results secured.
Joa Camp – A Standout Discover
The show also gave us the opportunity to see the brand-new Joa Camp panel vans and coachbuilts in the flesh and by all accounts, they are seriously impressive.
Incredible value for money, a fantastic specification for the price point, and modern styling throughout. These models are set to make a real impact, and we genuinely can’t wait for them to land on our forecourt.
A Strong Used Market & Knaus Interest
During the show week, we also saw a huge influx of customers visiting us onsite to explore our used stock. With Knaus not attending the NEC this year, there was significant interest in our wide range of Knaus models available on site.
It was great to see so many customers specifically seeking them out.
NEC Deals Extended
While manufacturer incentives may have ended with the show, our NEC deals haven’t.
We’ve extended our NEC offers to give more customers the opportunity to secure incredible value on their 2026 caravan or motorhome. If you missed the show, there’s still time to benefit.
Looking Ahead to 2026
The NEC show is often a strong indicator of how the season ahead will unfold and if this year is anything to go by, we’re in for another buoyant and exciting year.
A huge thank you to everyone who visited us, placed orders, made enquiries or simply came to say hello.
Now we look ahead to a busy spring and we can’t wait to welcome even more of you onto our forecourt very soon.
