Day One of the 2015 Motorhome and Caravan Show

Building the world’s largest LEGO ® brick caravan - To celebrate 130 years of leisure caravanning this year, the team behind the national Motorhome & Caravan Show is aiming for a new Guinness World Record by building the largest ever touring caravan made entirely1 of LEGO bricks. Requiring more than 150,000 individual interlocking plastic LEGO bricks, the life-size model caravan will be completed and officially unveiled to the world on Tuesday 13th October – the opening day of the Motorhome & Caravan Show 2015 at the NEC, Birmingham. It will feature a full interior, with working electric lights, sink, simulated cooking facilities, bed and seating enabling people to get inside.

As the world's oldest and largest Club for all forms of camping, and with over 500,000 members, the facilities and services are developed by people who share a love of camping and caravanning.

Family caravanning is what we’re about and the screenfree breaks have enhanced that. Having been caravanning for over a decade, towing in excess of 7,000 miles per year and crossing up to 5 countries in a week, I thought I knew how screenfree would go but I was amazed at how well the kids embraced it with lots of memory-making stuff that wouldn’t have been possible without the caravan.

The UK’s biggest national leisure vehicle launch show is nearly here! - The most exciting motorhome and caravanning event returns to the NEC this autumn, and there’s even more to explore at this year’s National Show!

This is the ONLY show where you’ll see all the new 2016 caravan, motorhome, holiday home, trailer tent and folding caravan models from the leading UK and European manufacturers and dealers - hot off the production line.

Foggy said: “I’m really looking forward to opening the Motorhome & Caravan Show 2015 as I think more people should get into the outdoors and explore the UK, and caravans and motorhomes help you to do that. I’ve spent my career using leisure vehicles to stay at racetracks across the country and I’m looking forward to spending more of this summer touring in a motorhome.
