The Club's Story at the National Motor Museum

The National Motor Museum is home to an interactive exhibition exploring the history of the Club and leisure vehicle industry, featuring the unique Collection of the Caravan and Motorhome Club.

This unique Collection, which spans from the birth of leisure caravanning in the 1880s through to the present day, has been hosted at the National Motor Museum since 2006. An array of objects, publications, photographs, film footage and sound recordings reflects the history of Europe’s premier touring organisation and the one million caravan and motorhome owners that it now represents.

Visitors to the Museum can also discover the Museum’s 1926 Eccles caravan, 1964 Commer Auto-Sleeper motorhome and the miniature Royal Caravan built for King Charles III and Princess Anne in 1955.
