In the bustling halls of the National Exhibition Centre (NEC), motorhome enthusiasts were treated to a feast of new models and updates from leading manufacturers.

Inside, the XL Family A 7872-2 offers a transverse bed and an alcove bed, providing multiple berths for families in need. The sleeping spaces include two berths above the cab, two in the lounge, and a transverse bed at the rear.

Another brand making a strong showing at the NEC was Elnagh Baron, with four motorhomes on display from the manufacturer. While specific new model details were not available, the presence of multiple models suggests updates or expansions, possibly including features such as improved interior configurations or updated chassis options.
Auto-Trail also made an impression at the show, exhibiting a new optional rising roof available for all models in the Ford-based Excel range. This feature enhances interior height and comfort while maintaining a compact footprint. Other new models or features were not specified in detail, but updates to their existing campervan line-ups with modern amenities and layouts are likely.
