South West Motorhome and Campervan Show 2026

A ban on overnight motorhome parking on parts of the North Yorkshire coast, introduced in 2024, may be reconsidered. Over 3,000 respondents, most of whom are motorhome owners, objected to the restrictions in a council consultation. A final decision on the scheme, which expires in May, will be made in April.

Actor Danny Dyer and his daughter Dani have invested in a caravan park on the Isle of Sheppey for a new TV series. The show, 'The Dyers’ Caravan Park', will launch on February 24 on Sky and NOW. The project aims to challenge the traditionally mocked image of caravanning in British popular culture.

UK-based Barefoot Caravans has updated the Bothy camper trailer. By removing the washroom, the weight is reduced to approximately 1,874 lbs, making it compatible with smaller ICE vehicles and electric cars. The fiberglass body comes with a 10-year warranty, and the interior can sleep up to three people.

A campervan fire in St Eval, Cornwall, spread to a nearby house, prompting an evacuation. Four fire engines responded, using breathing apparatus and multiple hose jets to control the blaze. No injuries were reported, but the property sustained smoke and fire damage.

A 31-year-old British woman sold her expensive apartment and purchased a static caravan for £26,000 in March 2025. The move saves her approximately £1,000 per month and allows her to work half as much due to lower living costs.

Barefoot Caravans has introduced a downsized version of its travel trailer, named the Bothy. The model lacks a wet bathroom, weighs from 1556 kg, and is towable by any vehicle. It starts at £25,500.
