What’s New for Motorhomes in 2026? Live from the NEC Motorhome & Caravan Show
Coming to you live from the NEC Motorhome and Caravan Show 2025, this week Motorhome Matt and Keith dive headfirst into the future of motorhomes, uncovering what’s new, what’s changing, and what’s still missing from the industry.
From clever new layouts to bold rebrands and fresh construction techniques, we explore the big moves shaping 2026, and where manufacturers might be falling behind.
We caught up with some of the biggest names in the business to get their take on what’s ahead and innovative features at the show:
Rob Dyer from Southwest Motorhomes talks real off-road potential with a VW-based 4x4 from Dethleffs that’s more than just a showpiece.
Bürstner turns heads with a six-metre 4x4 camper and a clever sliding bathroom pod that transforms the space.
Mike Lake at Aura explains how customer-led design (and thousands of fabric combinations) is fuelling their rapid growth.
Adam Carmichael from Elddis reveals a new construction system that’s revolutionising their range.
Geoff Scott at Auto-Sleepers lifts the lid on a major rebrand, factory expansion, and plans for their 65th anniversary.
Mel Savage from Ripe shares how they’re making policy updates quicker and simpler for owners.
Jody White from Hybridge Caravans takes on a 24-hour, factory-to-factory charity mission—with Loch Ness as the backup plan.
Paul Kirby questions the industry’s electric vehicle readiness and why time is running out.
Ryan Bowditch from Ford tackles wet belt concerns head-on and explains how Ford reached 25% of the UK market.
Four years on from our first episode, we’d like to say a huge thank you for all the support, kind words, and conversations along the way. The motorhome community really is something special, and with everything we’ve seen at the NEC, 2026 could be the most exciting year yet.
