The CamperKing Blog

CamperKing is celebrating being named Campervan Converter of the Year by Campervan Magazine in its inaugural industry awards.

You may be attending this autumn's Motorhome and Caravan Show at Birmingham's NEC. You'll find numerous campervan conversion companies there, but you won't see us. Why?
The reasons are fairly straightforward.

Club CamperKing member Rich Ivins has successfully completed an epic cycle challenge across the French Alps that saw him raise  more than £8,500 for charity.

Back in February CamperKing donated a campervan rental as a raffle prize for Rich's epic fundraising cycle ride and we have supported him ever since, most recently helping to host a coffee and cake fundraiser at our Warmington HQ to help Rich get closer to his target.

Rich completed the epic challenge last weekend, so we caught up with him to find out how it went

Did you know that ISOFIX is available on all our campervan models?

Everyone at CamperKing would like to take the time to congratulate CamperKing Ambassador and renowned goalkeeper, Ben Foster on a successful career in football and a happy future, as he announces his retirement from the sport.

After a career that saw him get capped by England eight times, make 536 senior appearances at club level and win the League Cup on three occasions, Ben called time on his playing career yesterday.

Announcing his retirement in a video titled ‘It’s time to say goodbye’ posted on his Cycling GK YouTube channel, Ben said "I've got an announcement to make, it's a big one. The time has finally come for me to announce my retirement."

Ben’s career has seen him make appearances for teams including Manchester United, Watford, Birmingham City, and West Bromwich Albion, before returning to Watford in 2018 and finishing up his playing days there at the end of last season.

Alongside football, Ben is known for the Cycling GK YouTube channel mentioned above, and in his latest video on the channel, he discussed his exciting post-football plans.

Giving CamperKing a shout-out towards the end of the video, he discussed how he plans to attend some of the biggest football derbies not only in this country but also derbies across Europe and will use his CamperKing campervan to travel to these.

Amongst the derbies, Ben mentioned are El Clásico, the derby between Barcelona and Real Madrid, known as one of the biggest in the world, the Old Firm derby between Celtic and Rangers, and the Derby della Madonnina between A.C. Milan and Inter Milan.

Talking to his lifelong friend and regular co-host, Tom Ochoa, and Tubes of Soccer AM fame, Ben discussed the features of his CamperKing Portofino. He described it as “all singing, all dancing” and it being “absolutely beautiful”, before declaring “if we are doing it in Europe, we are doing it in the CamperKing van!”

Once we have more details about their European football travel plans and once Tom and Tubes have decided who’s sleeping on which side of the bed, we shall reveal more. However, for now, we are saying well done to Ben on his 20-year playing career and we are excited as everyone else to see what comes next!

The anticipation is mounting at CamperKing ahead of our appearance at the inaugural Campervan Awards 2023.

It was coffee, cake and campervans galore as Club CamperKing member Rich Ivins aimed to raise the final few pounds he needed ahead of a huge cycling challenge this week.

This fantastic shot of Neist Point Lighthouse on the Isle of Skye has been selected as the winner of our campervan hire competition.

The Cotswolds is one of Britain's best-loved tourism hotspots, attracting a reported 38 million visitors every year (pre-Covid). Not bad for an area with just 139,000 residents.
Luckily, it's a great location to explore in a campervan, with plenty of chocolate box and picture postcard villages to explore, admire and take photos of.
