2012 Motorhome Show Schedule

Christmas is over, you’ve had enough cold Turkey and you might even be back at work… It’s time to start planning your motorhome getaways for 2012.

If buying or building a new motorhome is on the cards, you might also want to plan a visit to one or two motorhome shows over the coming year.

If you are thinking about buying a new ‘van, a show provides an opportunity to see a lot of models and dealers together in one place – even if you are not inclined to do a deal on the spot.

For anyone planning a self-build motorhome project, a visit to a motorhome show gives you the opportunity to research all the main layouts on the market in one place and decide if any of them are for you – or whether you will aim for something completely different.

Motorhome shows can be divided into two categories – indoor and outdoor. The advantages of each are obvious and explain why the two big indoor shows of the year – in February and October – top and tail the outdoor shows, which run from April to September in 2012.

Here’s a full listing of all the main motorhome shows in 2012:
