Bristol Caravans and Motorhomes

Steve Shaw

Brilliant company! It was great to discover this company three years ago when we had a Tesa levelling system installed on our motorhome. I have used them ever since for all our servicing and have just had an Amplo levelling system fitted by them. Their customer service is second to none, their technicians are very competent and explain things very well when required. I really feel comfortable knowing that our van is in good hands whenever it’s there.

Always great service from these guys. This time an annoying little job I couldn’t begin to do, a seal trim that had got loose and stopped the door working. Oakleigh and his team sorted us super quick and as ever, with a smile!

Great professional service. Being new to the world of caravanning and having recently purchased a second hand hand Swift Challenger we were looking for a reliable local business to inspect and service our caravan. Having checked through the local offerings using Google and examining quite a few reviews we decided to give Bristol Caravans and Motorhomes a try. Their premises are easy to reach and when we dropped our unit off we were impressed with the extensive and well equipped facilities and friendly service. Highly recommend this business!Definitely will be back.

Can I Use My Existing Charger and Solar Setup with A Lithium Battery for My Motorhome?

Switching to a lithium battery in your motorhome is an exciting upgrade. Lithium batteries offer longer life, lighter weight, higher usable capacity, and faster charging compared to traditional lead-acid or AGM batteries. But a common question for motorhome owners is: Can I use my existing charger and solar setup with A lithium battery? The short answer is: sometimes yes, but often not without some adjustments or upgrades. In this detailed guide, we’ll explore how lithium batteries differ from lead-acid types, why charging compatibility matters, what to look for in your current equipment, and how to optimise your charging system for […]

Can I fit a self-levelling system to my existing motorhome?

If you’re asking, “Can I fit a self-levelling system to my existing motorhome?”—the good news is that in most cases, you can. These systems can be retrofitted to many modern motorhomes, particularly larger A-Class and coachbuilt models. They’re often compatible with chassis from manufacturers like Fiat, Ford, Peugeot, Renault, Citroën, Iveco, MAN, Volkswagen, and Mercedes, including those with extended AL-KO chassis. Even some panel vans and van conversions can now be fitted with compact or lightweight levelling systems, although options may be more limited. From personal experience, I recommend It’s always worth getting a professional assessment to confirm compatibility with […]

Booked in 2 months in advance only to be told after Booked in they could not deal with it as it would not fit on thier ramp.

Great service and customer care during my Motorhome annual habitation check. Also EICR checks done together with Ma-Ve levelling system check and fix.Definitely will be back.

We had a solar panel fitted and could not fault the experience. Communication was always clear and timely. It was clear they knew what they were doing. Also as this is our only vehicle I had to return by bus to Bristol. That’s easy, but a bit of a walk and they offered to take me to bus stop and pick me up from there on my return. That’s real customer service. They could not have been more helpful. Trust Pilot

Paul Hibbert,

Fabulous storage site with excellent experienced staff and great security. We stored our van here for quite a few years and found all the staff to be extremely helpful and knowledgeable. We had to have repairs done to our van on a number of times and issues and it was always done quickly and to an excellent standard. The storage yard itself has excellent security features and we never felt at all worried about leaving the van there. The site also has two separate CL’s that are in a lovely spot, being quiet and having good views of the woods […]

Excellent professional service . Good communication . A few issues were found at the service and habitation check. The problems were dealt with fairly swiftly and when we picked up the van we were given a comprehensive thorough explanation of what had been wrong and how it happened in the first place.
