Every New Campervan Worth Seeing at the CCM Show 2026

The Caravan, Camping & Motorhome Show returns to the NEC Birmingham from 17 to 22 February 2026, spanning 19 acres across five exhibition halls with over 420 exhibitors and more than 700 vehicles on display. It is the UK's biggest start-of-year leisure vehicle showcase, and this year's campervan lineup has some genuinely exciting new launches.

Whether you are actively shopping or just want to see what is coming, here are the new campervans you should make time for.

Sunlight Vanlife 540 V

The star of the show for many visitors will be the Sunlight Vanlife, shown on the Lowdhams stand. This 5.41-metre Fiat Ducato-based campervan has a layout unlike anything else in production. The driver's cab is completely walled off from the living space, creating a genuine multi-room feel. Fixed stairs lead up to the pop-top roof bed (with storage in every tread), while the rear features a dual-sofa lounge that works as a dining area, workspace or second sleeping area.

Standard kit includes an awning, alloy wheels, 64-litre fridge, full wet bathroom and a 2-burner hob. It sleeps four but only carries two while driving. Best suited for couples who want a compact, liveable van that feels like a small flat on wheels.

UK pricing starts from around £61,690.

Knaus Boxtime

Knaus is debuting their all-new Boxtime range, and it brings two significant innovations to the campervan market. The first is a transformable bathroom with a swivelling wall. In one position you have a toilet and washbasin. Swing the wall across and you get a full, shower-curtain-free shower room with the toilet hidden behind the partition. It is a smart solution to the eternal wet-bathroom compromise.

The second innovation is Knaus's new LightWeight Technology construction. Using modern composite materials for wall panels, ceiling and floor, the Boxtime saves up to 60kg compared to conventional panel vans of the same size. That means better payload capacity, improved fuel economy and reportedly noticeable reductions in road noise and vibration. Knaus claims up to 3dB less cabin noise, which is significant in real-world driving.

The range launches with four layouts: the 540 MQ and 600 MQ with rear transverse double beds, and the 630 ME and 630 MX at 6.36 metres with longitudinal rear beds. The 630 MX gets an electric drop-down bed at the front as standard. All are built on the Fiat Ducato 3,500kg chassis with 140bhp.

Bailey Endurance E62

Bailey of Bristol is pushing further into the campervan market with the new Endurance range, and the E62 is the model to look at. Bailey has been steadily building their reputation in this segment, and the Endurance represents their latest thinking on what a mid-range British-built campervan should offer.

Look for the Endurance on the Bailey stand, where it will be displayed alongside their established motorhome and caravan ranges.

Ace (New Brand Launch)

This is potentially the biggest news at the show. Ace is an entirely new brand being unveiled at the February NEC show for the first time. Details have been kept deliberately tight, but what we know is that Ace aims to bring "simplicity, reliability and real-world design" to the motorhome and campervan market.

The brand comes from a very well-known name in the UK caravan and motorhome industry, though exactly who is behind it has been the subject of plenty of speculation. Expect to see both motorhomes and campervans under the Ace banner, positioned as accessible and practical rather than luxury.

This is worth visiting early in your day at the show, as the reveal will likely draw crowds.

Auto-Sleepers Active

Auto-Sleepers showed a couple of Active models at the October Motorhome & Caravan Show, but the February CCM Show should be the first proper opportunity to see the full range and talk to the team about specifications and pricing.

Auto-Sleepers has a loyal following in the UK for good reason. They build their conversions in-house in Worcestershire, and the quality control shows. The Active range represents their entry point into the market, and it is worth comparing against the European imports at a similar price.

Vanworx Chesil (Ford Transit)

Vanworx is one of the more respected independent converters in the UK, and they are launching a new Chesil model built on the Ford Transit. While most of the market is built on Fiat Ducato or VW Transporter platforms, the Ford Transit offers a different driving experience and a well-established UK dealer network for servicing and parts.

If you have a preference for Ford or want to explore alternatives to the Fiat-dominated market, the Vanworx stand is worth your time.

Onyx Vans Summit 2.0

Onyx Vans is bringing the Summit 2.0, an evolution of their existing Summit model. Onyx has built a following for stripped-back, adventure-focused campervans that prioritise durability and simplicity over luxury features. The Summit 2.0 should refine what worked about the original while addressing any feedback from owners.

Vantage TEO

Vantage Motorhomes is launching the TEO, which will sit alongside their existing range of compact campervans. Vantage has a reputation for thoughtful design and sensible layouts, and the TEO looks to continue that approach.

Hillside MVX

Hillside Leisure, celebrating their 20th anniversary at the show, is bringing the MVX along with their established Equinox, Solaris XL and Europa models. Hillside has been a consistent presence at the NEC shows and their conversions are well-regarded in the compact campervan space.

Pilote V630S FIT

French manufacturer Pilote is showing the V630S FIT, a 6.3-metre campervan that offers more space than the sub-5.5-metre models while still being manageable on UK roads. Pilote is well-established on the continent and has been growing its UK presence. Worth a look if you want something slightly larger than the compact offerings.

Swift Carrera Xtra

Swift Group, one of the UK's biggest manufacturers, is showing the updated Carrera Xtra. Swift has the advantage of a massive UK dealer network and accessible servicing, which matters more than most people realise when buying a campervan. The Carrera range has been a solid mid-market choice, and the Xtra edition adds equipment and specification.

Other Exhibitors Worth Visiting

Beyond the headline launches, the campervan hall will have models from Adria, Auto-Trail, Chausson, Malibu, Roller Team, Weinsberg, Globecar, Dreamer, Wildax, Rolling Homes, Murvi, Denby, Danbury, Bespoke Leisure, Bodans, Brownhills and many more. The UK independent converter scene is particularly strong this year, with companies like Knights Custom Conversions, Sherwood Campers, York Campervans, Scandivans and Out and About Campers all exhibiting.

If you are looking at AWD or 4x4 capable campervans, there are more options than ever this year. Several exhibitors will have all-wheel-drive models for buyers who want to take their adventures properly off-grid.

Practical Information

The show runs from 17 to 22 February 2026 at the NEC Birmingham. Opening times are 10am to 6pm daily. Advance tickets are £13 (or £10 on Club Day, Tuesday 17 February, for Caravan and Motorhome Club members). On-the-door price is £19. Parking is included in the ticket price and children under 16 go free with a paying adult.

Beyond the campervans, the show includes free motorhome manoeuvring sessions and caravan towing experiences run by the Caravan and Motorhome Club, an Inspiration Theatre with guest speakers, BBQ demonstrations, paddleboarding, axe throwing, bushcraft and a climbing wall.

If you are thinking about buying, the February show has one practical advantage over the October NEC show: vehicles purchased now are more likely to be available for collection in time for the spring and summer season rather than sitting on order for months.
