Kendal Caravans Announces Return to Motorhome Retailing

Kendal Caravans Announces Return to Motorhome Retailing — With Swift Motorhomes Arriving for the 2027 Season

Kendal Caravans is delighted to confirm that we will once again be retailing motorhomes, this time from the Swift Group, with selected models from the Kon‑Tikki, Voyager, Trekker, and Escape ranges arriving at our Kendal branch from the start of the 2027 season. Our first motorhome will land just in time for the Caravan & Leisure Show in October 2026, giving customers an early opportunity to explore what’s coming.

This announcement marks an important and carefully considered step in the continued evolution of our business — one that strengthens the customer journey, supports holiday parks, and reinforces our long‑standing commitment to the leisure industry.

A Natural Next Step in the Ownership Journey

Motorhomes have always played a quiet but meaningful role in the wider buying cycle. Many customers begin their leisure lifestyle with a touring caravan or motorhome, enjoying the freedom of travel before eventually choosing to settle on a favourite holiday park. 

By reintroducing motorhomes into our retail offering, we’re strengthening that journey. Customers can now begin, continue, and complete their leisure lifestyle with Kendal Caravans — supported by the same team, the same values, and the same commitment to service.

Strengthening Partnerships

Holiday homes and lodges remain the foundation of Kendal Caravans, and our support for parks & customers continues to be essential to everything we do.

Park‑originated enquiries remain the strongest part of our business — as shown in recent enquiry data, where 70 out of 106 enquiries came directly from parks. This reinforces what we already know: our partnerships with parks are vital, valued, and thriving.

Motorhomes simply allow us to enhance the customer support that often leads to holiday home ownership. With this in mind, we are even better placed to part exchange any leisure product for any other leisure product between Touring Caravans, Campervans, Holiday Homes, Lodges and now Motorhomes!

Why Swift Motorhomes?

Swift’s motorhome ranges are among the most trusted and recognisable in the UK. By stocking selected models from the Kon‑Tikki, Voyager, Trekker, and Escape ranges, we’re able to offer customers:

• Premium build quality with SMART
• Modern, practical layouts
• A choice of compact, family, and luxury touring options
• Strong residual values
• A brand already familiar to many of our customers

This alignment between touring and static ownership makes Swift the perfect partner for our return to motorhome retailing.

First Motorhome Arrives October 2026

Our first Swift motorhome will arrive ahead of the Caravan & Leisure Show in October 2026, giving visitors the chance to explore the new offering before the 2027 season begins.

It’s an exciting moment — not just for us, but for customers who have been asking for motorhomes to return to Kendal Caravans.

Evolving for the Better

This development is part of a broader, positive evolution of our business. We are expanding thoughtfully, not changing course. Holiday homes and lodges remain an essential part of Kendal Caravans, and our support remains unwavering.

Motorhomes simply allow us to:

• Serve customers earlier in their leisure journey
• Offer more part‑exchange flexibility
• Provide support by guiding customers toward long‑term ownership
• Strengthen our position as a full‑service leisure retailer

The message is simple: we are evolving.

Final Thoughts

Kendal Caravans has always been shaped by customer needs, our partnerships, a commitment to quality and customer service. Our return to motorhome retailing reflects all three. It’s the right time, the right product, and the right step forward.

We look forward to welcoming customers to view our first Swift motorhome at the Caravan & Leisure Show in October — and to supporting parks and owners throughout the 2027 season and beyond.
