Based in the North West of England, in Lancashire, we're ideally located just 15 minutes from the M6 and about an hour from Manchester - en route to the Lake District. We typically stock around 20 motorhomes and campervans at any given time.

We hand-pick our stock from a variety of sources, with many vehicles arriving via part exchange. Every retail motorhome and campervan is HPi checked, fully inspected, serviced, and prepared by our expert engineers before delivery - giving you peace of mind with every purchase. All of our service engineers are fully gas qualified to work on your motorhome, campervan, or touring caravan.

At John Charles Motorhomes, we pride ourselves on high standards of presentation and a relaxed, friendly atmosphere. Our experienced sales team is on hand to help you choose the right motorhome or campervan for your needs and lifestyle. If you're buying your first vehicle, we'll take the time to walk you through every feature during handover, so you're ready to relax on site straight away.

We can also arrange delivery of your new motorhome or collection of your part exchange vehicle, provided you've visited us first. Our location, surrounded by beautiful countryside and the Trough of Bowland, is ideal for a short break after collecting your vehicle. There's also an abundance of local campsites and storage facilities available - just ask us for recommendations.

Myself and the entire team look forward to welcoming you when you visit us.

Many thanks,
Philip Caulton, Managing Director
