With a planned trip to the Maldives called off due to Covid concerns, Donna and Chris Warwick were determined not to have their 25th wedding anniversary plans foiled, so they hired a campervan from CamperKing instead.

Collecting their rental campervan on Saturday 5th March, Donna and Chris began another dream journey to Scotland to drive the approximate route of the North Coast 500 from Inverness, after touring England's northern counties a little beforehand.
We helped them celebrate by waving them off from our Warmington HQ with a box of chocolates and a bottle of Prosecco. 

Find out what the happy couple had to say about their experience so far and the elusive key to a long and happy marriage.

Volkswagen has announced the much-anticipated arrival of the ID. Buzz – an all-electric people mover that speaks directly back to the days of the T1 and T2, those iconic VW vehicles of the 1960s and '70s.

The ID. Buzz is a futuristic addition to VW's electric vehicle stable, and will be launched around Europe later this year, with orders available from May in some locations. The Buzz boasts several clever technological advances, including communicating with other traffic to spot hazards in real time.

Whatever you are looking for in a VW campervan, we are bound to have it out on our forecourt. At the current count, we have 43 campervans available that are all ready and waiting to be driven away! 

Whether you are travelling to us from further afield to buy a VW campervan, or you have booked in for service work or a habitation check at our HQ, it may be that you are looking for something else to do either before or after your visit to CamperKing. With this in mind, we have taken the feedback of our Club CamperKing members and the local knowledge of our team and put together a list of the top places to go, see and stay around Warmington. 

#breakthebias

This year's theme for International Women's Day focuses on breaking the bias. We chatted to our CamperQueens to learn how they're breaking the bias and have continued to do so for over 10 years.

Founding Club CamperKing member, Jodie Stagg, has become our very first Club CamperKing Ambassador.

England Rugby World Cup winner, Jason Robinson OBE, is the latest high-profile name to sign up to become a CamperKing ambassador.

The former rugby international-turned-coach picked up the keys to a CamperKing Monte Carlo Overwatch Edition this week. Jason will be using the van for both work and leisure purposes, whether it's transporting his children to various training sessions for their own sports teams, travelling to rugby matches himself, or camping out in it to grab some quality free time with his family.

Struggling to find a playlist for your campervan road trip? We've got just the playlist for you then. 

CamperKing ambassador Ben Foster has been celebrating after literally taking the shirt off Cristiano Ronaldo's back!

The Watford FC goalkeeper, now a much-followed creator on YouTube under his alias The Cycling GK, recently swapped shirts with the Portuguese star following his team's match with Manchester United at the weekend.

The match ended goalless, but CamperKing ambassador Ben managed to score the classic CR7 shirt at the end of the game.

"I need it on my wall," he told his YouTube followers, in a video which has already been watched 220,000 times.
"I'm 38 now, so I don't know how many more times I'm going to get to play at Old Trafford, You just never know."

In the matchday video, Ben is seen cycling near his Warwickshire home, then nips off to training in his CamperKing Portofino (see 2:11). He shares a few laughs and jokes with his team-mates before we see him take to the Old Trafford pitch. He emerges with Cristiano Ronaldo's match-worn shirt, as well as that of England star Jadon Sancho's, which he plans to give away via his channel.

"I've got to keep Ronaldo's for myself," he said. "It's something I'll tell my kids about for years to come!"

Ben became a CamperKing ambassador in January when he collected a Portofino model from our Warmington HQ, which so far he has been using for family days out and as transport to training.

Watch the video below and be sure to keep an eye on our blog for updates about Ben's activity.
