Bicester Caravan & Leisure

Buying a travel trailer means choosing a layout for trips, but also deciding how it will be maintained and where it will be stored between outings. Bicester Caravan & Leisure brings these stages together at its Oxfordshire site, just off junction 9 of the M40. The family business is part of L C Hughes Partnership and combines new and used travel-trailer sales with motorhomes, tent trailers, a workshop, an accessory store, and a storage area. Its team also describes itself as users of the vehicles it sells.

New travel trailers include brands such as Swift, Sprite, Elddis, Buccaneer, Xplore, and Coachman. The selection includes Swift Basecamp, Sprite, and Challenger ranges, along with Elddis Avante, Affinity, and Crusader. The search tool filters by condition, price, and sleeping capacity, allowing comparisons to start with the number of people traveling and move on to the interior layout. The used section includes vehicles from different manufacturers as well as motorhomes, while the company advertises motorhome models for 2026 and 2027.

Tent trailers and folding campers offer another type of accommodation. Bicester Caravan & Leisure sells Cabanon and presents the Comanche range, with models such as Oregon, Petit, McCamp, Montana Explorer, and Kenya. It also showcases Camp-let: the description of this brand specifies accommodation for four people and 18 square meters of space, with annexes that increase capacity. Those dimensions belong to the product described, not every trailer in the catalog. The different ranges allow customers to compare a folding structure with an enclosed travel trailer without treating their features as interchangeable.

Service continues after the purchase. The workshop handles maintenance and repairs for major travel-trailer and motorhome brands, and the company includes it within its servicing and warranty operations. The accessory store carries awnings, trailer-moving systems, and other items for getting started or equipping an existing vehicle. Storage on the same site adds a separate function: keeping a trailer there when it is not being used. These are complementary services that the business identifies separately.

The team’s introduction provides context for its customer service. Chris runs the operation as general manager; David works in management and sales, with a career the company describes as spanning more than four decades at L C Hughes Partnership and Bicester Caravan & Leisure; Karen combines sales with responsibility for accessories and the awning department. This organization helps explain a business that supports several stages of trailer ownership: comparing vehicles and layouts, preparing the handover, equipping them, and maintaining them afterward.
