Here at Stewart Longton, we know exactly how to make the most of the better weather – by heading out on the road in a high-spec and comfortable camper or caravan. Whether you prefer a classic campervan or towing a caravan, both offer the perfect blend of freedom, flexibility and convenience for holidays - and even extra space when you have visitors staying over at home.
We currently have three 2022 models in stock at great prices - the Sprite Alpine 4, the Sprite Quattro FB and the Swift Elegance 845. Snapping up one of these fantastic models at a knock down price means you’ll be able to spend 2023 exploring every corner of the UK and beyond and have some money left to treat yourself while you’re on the road. Let’s explore what makes holidaying in a camper or caravan so popular and then take a closer look at our reduced inventory to see if we can tempt you to get on the road in style this spring.
The appeal of camper van and caravan holidays
Flexible: One of the main appeals of travelling in a camper van or caravan is the incredible flexibility it offers you. If you discover a hidden gem along the way and decide you want to camp nearby for several days, you can. if the weather is dreadful (always a possibility here in the UK), simply pack everything up and head nearer to a town to enjoy cinema visits, shopping and other amusements until the weather clears up. With your own vehicle, you have the freedom to change your plans on a whim!
Cost-effective: Campers, caravans and motorhomes can be cost-effective ways to see areas of the UK and further afield, as your transport and accommodation is rolled into the cost of the camper. All you need to track is the cost of hook-ups and pitches and fuel. You can even stock up with food and drink before you leave to minimise how much money you need, especially if you’re heading to a touristy area where prices might be inflated. see the sights, as you have your transportation and accommodation all in one.
Comfort and convenience: Not only can you pack home comforts, snacks, games and anything else you fancy to make your trip easier, but the models we sell here at Stewart Longton are designed to provide comfortable living spaces with all the amenities you need. Kitchenettes, bathrooms, cosy beds and snug living spaces make hitting the road for a holiday comfier than a tent and more convenient than a hotel or B&B.
Adventure and exploration: There are plenty of beautiful and remote areas of the UK that don’t have many Airbnbs, but that do have lots of campsites! Holidays in a motorhome or caravan can be an adventurous way to explore new places and get off the beaten path. You can choose your own route, discover hidden gems, and have unique experiences that might not be possible if you had to head nearer to civilisation and hotels. Plus, in those remote areas you can connect with nature, watch wildlife from your window and wake up to stunning views. You might even find that the occasional lack of phone signal gets you and the family talking and relaxing together again - and that’s priceless!
