The CamperKing Blog

We're pleased to announce that CamperKing has partnered with mattress supplier, Duvalay to stock their exceptional memory foam mattress topper in our camping shop.

Are you hiring or buying a campervan, but not sure where to go first? We've put together a helpful guide to picturesque spots around the UK, as suggested by our CamperKing social media followers. All can be visited by jumping into the driver's seat of your campervan.

Join our Head of Brand, Jack Grey, on a tour of the showroom here at CamperKing HQ in Warmington near Banbury, in this video filmed live on Facebook in March 2022. 

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.

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.

With an amber weather warning being issued to the whole of Southern England, Wales, and the Midlands, Storm Eunice caused chaos when it hit the UK in mid-February.

There's something in the air here at CamperKing. There's so many great looking vans out on our camper courtyard, it's hard to choose our favourites.
But this VW T6.1 short wheelbase, with our popular Monte Carlo conversion inside, caught our eye thanks to the moody Deep Black bodywork and Fortana Red highlights. Echoes of The A-Team anyone?!

But it's not all style over substance. This van (NAU) has VW's 110PS engine under the bonnet, manual transmission and an array of great gadgetry including Bluetooth, cruise control, front and rear parking sensors, a multi-function steering wheel and air conditioning.

We're not long into 2022 now and you might be thinking about investing in a campervan in the coming months. Well, we have plenty of vehicles ready to drive away that could have your name on them.
