SHOWTIME!
Practical Motorhome
|April 2025
The Caravan, Camping and Motorhome Show returns to the NEC this month. Here are just some of the highlights...
-
Yes, it’s showtime again. The NEC Birmingham’s February event, officially termed the Caravan, Camping and Motorhome Show to differentiate it from the Motorhome & Caravan Show in October, runs from 18 to 23 February this year.
The change of name suggests that motorhomes are not as much the focus here as they are in October, and there are one or two notable absences.
Swift, for example, will not have a stand of its own, although you can see its vehicles at the Lowdhams stand (3090) or Couplands (1100).
Pilote, similarly, while not having a presence at the event, can be seen at SMC (3080) or, for Joa Camp, Grantham’s (2200).
Here is our round-up of what else makes the February show a must-see, and you can find further information at www.ccmshow.co.uk.
VEHICLESAdria (Stand 3060)
Head to Adria’s stand to see the new Supertwin, the company’s first van conversion based on a Mercedes Sprinter 4x4. You can also take a look at new Fiat-based Twin conversions that have been updated for the 2025 season, and three models from the revamped Sun Living brand.

Auto-Sleepers (Stand 3075)There are no new Auto-Sleeper models this season, but there are significant changes to all existing vehicles.
First, all 2025 models that previously ran on a Peugeot Boxer now come on a Fiat Ducato – van conversions and coachbuilts. That should make opting for an automatic gearbox easier.
All such models also now come with Truma’s CombiNeo continuous hot water heater system. Auto-Sleepers is the first manufacturer to have this (see p67 for more about the CombiNeo and p68 for more on Auto-Sleepers).
