Camping quandaries can be pitched to a team of experts on hand at a brand new consumer Show opening next week.
The Motorhome, Caravan & Camping Show opens at ExCeL London on Tuesday 14th February for a six-day stay. It’s the first major industry supported show if it’s kind in the South for over six years and is expected to attract over 40,000 visitors.
Almost one hundred tents will be pitched at the Show, many on display for the first time, alongside the latest caravans, motorhomes, holiday homes and lodges from the leading manufacturers and retailers. The Show offers both rookies and experienced hands the opportunity to obtain expert advice on all camping related issues, from choosing the right tent to the best family campsites to stay at both in the UK and abroad.
From one man technical tents to eight person family dome tents, the latest, new season ranges will be on offer from leading brands including Coleman, Outwell, Vango and Sprayway. A major feature at the event is The Tent & Camping Clinic hosted in association with leading retailer PJ Camping and sponsored by The Camping and Caravanning Club. It offers a daily schedule of activity that includes ‘Ask the Expert’ sessions and live demonstrations on how to pitch (and pack) the newest models including ‘blow-up’ and ‘instant’ tents. There is also the opportunity to win a tent of your own if you can pitch it in the fastest time at the Show!
Thousands of essential accessories and innovative new gadgets (including refrigeration units, cookers, sleeping bags and camp beds) will also be available, many at Show only prices.
The Motorhome, Caravan & Camping Show is the perfect place to plan and book your great 2012 escapes. Travel and tourism experts from across the UK and Europe will be offering destination inspiration with information on a huge choice of great-value campsites, holiday parks and day-out attractions that you can book there and then.

You can also get behind the wheel of a new Nissan and tow a caravan or manoeuvre a motorhome under instruction from The Caravan Club.
