You may think it only feels like yesterday that the Motorhome & Caravan Show was on at the NEC, but the time has already come round again for its smaller but in many ways just as perfectly formed cousin: the Caravan, Camping & Motorhome Show.

Due to run from 17 to 22 February 2026, this year’s show will include the world premiere of an entirely new motorhome and campervan brand (albeit a brand stemming from a very well-known name in both motorhomes and caravans), plus a new model from Auto-Trail and a whole raft of exciting new off-road vehicles for the more adventurous.

Even if the above does not interest you, there are plenty of other reasons to visit the ‘quieter’ of the two shows in the year, whether you’re just wanting to browse the latest releases or are looking for the best motorhomes and the best campervans. Any vehicle you purchase at this show is much more likely to be ready for you to drive away in the next few weeks, compared to one you might have reserved in October.

The February show is also probably the better of the two if you’re thinking of buying a motorhome awning – many of the major manufacturers target this show for new launches, rather than October.

In total, there should be more than 700 leisure vehicles (including motorhomes and campervans as well as caravans) on display at the show, and over 420 exhibitors keen to show you their wares. Here is our pick of what not to miss.

If you haven’t got your ticket for the Show yet, either, don’t miss our Caravan, Camping and Motorhome Show discount code, either.

What to see at the Caravan, Camping and Motorhome Show 2026

Ace – (Stand 5090)

The show this February is the venue for the unveiling of what looks set to be a major new brand of motorhomes and caravans.

Ace is a brand that aims to bring ‘simplicity, reliability and real-world design’ to the industry. Beyond that, everything for the moment is being kept under wraps.

Auto-Sleepers (Stand 3075)

There were a couple of Auto-Sleepers Active models on display at the Motorhome & Caravan Show in October, but the February show should be your first chance to see the complete range of three models, including the FL 635 which won the best campervan for a family of four category at the Practical Motorhome Awards.

The fixed-single-beds model will be joined by the transverse-bed FG 635 and the French-bed KB 635. All are based on a Fiat Ducato.

Auto-Trail (Stand 3040)

Pride of place on the Auto-Trail stand will go to the new F-Line F67 model. This end-washroom model with a face-to-face front lounge and an L-shaped kitchen has been developed with a wider body design to give more internal space. This allows for a particularly large rear washroom and increased rear storage, and also means that an optional drop-down bed can be included.

A selection of models from all of Auto-Trail’s other ranges will be on display, including the new Expedition 54 campervan, the first 5.41m model in the Expedition range and our pick for the best small campervan at the Practical Motorhome Awards 2026.

Bailey of Bristol (Stand 3020)

There won’t be any completely new models to see on the Bailey stand, but you can have a good nose around a selection of Ford-based Adamo and Peugeot-based Autograph motorhomes, as well as the Endeavour range of campervans and Endurance, the newest baby on the block – a campervan designed for those who like going off-grid motorhoming.

Beez Leisure (Stand 1123)

Beez Leisure, a Norfolk dealer, will be showing off the latest models from its Aura range of campervans, first shown at last year’s show. All built in the UK, they are designed for year-round touring. Also look out for the Knaus and Weinsberg models the dealer sells.

Bespoke Leisure (Stand 5075)

This Northern Irish campervan maker will be bringing two new models to the show: Bespoke Edition VW Crafter, a two-berth designed to provide you with everything needed to go off-grid, and the new Explore, a completely new plug-in petrol hybrid campervan.

Coachman (Stand 3000)

The Hull company will have its full range of luxury motorhomes on display, including Travel Master and Avventura models (see our review of the Avventura 565 for an idea of what this model comes with), and the Sportivo 565.

Erwin Hymer UK

Erwin Hymer (which includes Buccaneer motorhomes, Elddis motorhomes and campervans, and Xplore campervans) is not at the show, but you should be able to see a range
of the company’s products on dealer stands including Motorhomes & Caravans (2200, 3087, 3100), Marquis Leisure (3075), Preston Caravans & Motorhomes (2102), and Don Amott (3056).

Hillside Leisure (Stand 5015)

Derby-based Hillside will be showing off its latest model, a collaboration on the Volkswagen California, available as both a diesel or a hybrid.

Marquis Leisure (Stand 3075)

Britain’s biggest dealership’s stand will include models from all of the brands it exclusively sells. So head here to see the latest models from Benimar, including the Mileo, Tessoro and Primero ranges, as well as updated Benivan campervans.

The selection from Mobilvetta will include the Kea Kompakt 55, the Italian company’s first compact model. And don’t miss the Panama campervan range, including the P10E, the first plug-in hybrid campervan to be produced by a major manufacturer.

Mega Mobil (Stand 1054)

Head to the Mega Mobil stand to discover the best of what this Slovenian manufacturer has to offer, including the Mega Lounge 680 S Twin which won best luxury campervan at the recent Practical Motorhome Awards.

Morelo (Stand 1130)

A Morelo liner on display is always a big draw at the show, even if the price is usually way beyond most visitor’s wallets. This time you can check out two new models: the Home, the smallest vehicle in the line-up, and the more substantial Palace Liner S-Way.

Onyx (Stand 5078)

A new exhibitor at the show, West Sussex-based Onyx specialises in custom-built and off-the-peg models based on a MAN TGE and designed for you to take off-grid. Its new Summit 2.0 model comes complete with a fully off-grid Victron-based electrics system, and an internal pop-up shower.

Rapido (Stand 1120)

Head to this French manufacturer’s stand at the show to see the new C66 Optimum Line, a compact low-profile with fixed single beds and a high spec, as well as the V62 60th Anniversary Edition, which impressed our judges at this year’s PM Awards.

You can also check-out the redesigned Series 8F and 80DF motorhomes, as well as plenty of models from sister brands Itineo and Dreamer, including the new Itineo PS740 with rear bunks.

Swift

Swift itself will not be having its own stand at the show. But you should be able to see plenty of Swift vehicles, including the new Trekker coachbuilt ’vans and Carrera campervans, at one of the Swift dealers exhibiting at the show. This includes Spinney (2210), Brownhills (3085), Couplands (1100), Preston Caravans & Motorhomes (2102), Don Amott (3056), and Wandahome South Cave (2100).

WildAx (Stand 5080)

This February will be the West Yorkshire-based campervan maker’s 20th anniversary at the show. Look out for the new Equinox model, as well as long-standing popular models such as the Solaris XL and the Europa.

Awnings (and tents) galore

The February NEC Show is a great destination for buying the latest motorhome upgrades, too.

This season’s show will include the largest indoor pitched tent display in the UK (hence the ‘Camping’ in the show title). So if your children are pestering you for a little more independence on site, or if you feel you might need just a little bit more sleeping space, you might want to head there.

But awnings are not being forgotten either. The February show is usually the place where all the latest models are rolled out, and there will be over 100 awnings set up under the roof, from the likes of Vango, Isabella, Trigano, Telta, Dometic, Dorema, Camptech, Westfield and Streetwize.

And much more…

It’s not all about new products at the show. Head over to the DF Capital-sponsored Inspiration Theatre to hear a series of talks compered by wildlife podcaster and adventurer Sarah Roberts. Speakers include Martin Dorey and regular PM contributor Marcus Leach.

In other parts of the halls you can also enjoy cookery demonstrations featuring delicious BBQ recipes, try out some bushcraft activities, have a go at axe throwing and enjoy some ‘meet and greets’ with animals at the New Forest Camp feature. Or you can get expert advice at the Leisure Vehicle Advice Hub, where experts will be on hand to answer your queries. ‘Ask the Expert’ sessions take place twice a day.

As usual, the Caravan and Motorhome Club will be offering free Motorhome Manoeuvring Sessions for anyone who wants to boost their confidence at driving a motorhome.
